I think we spend more on glue and paint then we ever do on kits.

thats becoming true for me at the mo :-D .....ive always liked vallejo paint for brushing but they are very expensive in my lms, but we have had a chain store open near us with a reputation for being cheap......found they have quite a selection in the 'arts' section.....humbrol and vallejo products with the vallejo less than 2/3 the price anywhere else ive seen it.....its actually cheaper than humbrol enamels or revell aquas!.......every time i walk past the place i call in and just buy a couple of random colours........be rude not to! :lol: :lol:

I just did a quick count up of what's in the various racks and it came to over 500 quid :shock:
Which reminds me, I do need to make a paint replenishment run very soon. Also I just ordered another pack of plastic card from Station Baseboards. Their starter packs are good value. And Lifecolor thinner, getting a bit low on that. Might as well grab some airbrush cleaner and EMA Plastic Weld whilst I'm there too. Hmmm, that bottle of Mr. Masking Sol Neo is about done for as well. Does it ever end?

i need some H85 and some H62, maybe some red as well. oh, cannt forget the tamiya masking tape and some scalpel blades. on the other hand, i need to review my acrylics and get the lifecolour sets on ebay (i went through an acrylic phase, now happily past and forgotten, but i am left with loads of lifecolur and Xtracrylic paints, most hardley used..... :( ) so should end up pretty cash neutral !

I´m just saying its strange that according to my internet research (reading other posts on this forum) you seem to be rebuilding your house at the same time as I purchased my seven sheets of micromesh..........lets just call it "coincidence" then shall we...

Complete coincidence, I signed the renovation contract months ago... :)
