Clashcityrockers Stage

Looking forward to seeing how that road base turns out. Sounds like a trip to Bunnings could be in order to get more wet & dry

You don't come away from Bunnings with just wet & dry. You've got to get the sausage in bread on the way in, wander up & down a few aisles, wondering if any of this stuff could be adapted for modelling. You'll always find something handy for the garden shed.

Got a second coat of green on.





Then unmasked ready for a gloss coat





Couple of minor touch ups, but I'm really pleased with how its turned out. My biggest masking job yet. Only hope the canopy is good too, the tape has been on a while. Another reason for the smiles, it's raining here today and I can smell a roast lamb in the oven. Must go and make some Yorkshire Puddings. Not a traditional accompaniment with lamb but the kids love 'em. Gotta keep the family pleased.

Who can resist the smell of a good sausage sizzle.................especially those onions!!

Another perfect day for modelling here in Adelaide with temps of about 14 degrees and showers.

No mowing the lawns today!!!

[BlohmWolf]

Down in Tasmania, we have had nearly a week of rain. Only now that once the rain is out, it becomes so cold, we see snow!

Which doesn't bother me. I hated my old bench outside, there were too many mosquitos and such. I'm glad I'll be getting a new workspace, one I can finally sit down to!

[Clashcityrocker]

Got the Spitfire MkIIa varnished and decalled







Another coat of gloss to seal the decals, unmask the canopy, add all the sticky out bits and she's done.

Here's the road base with a piece of 120 grit wet and dry. May need to go finer I think



Gave the Male Tank a coat of varnish. It's now ready for some weathering. Perhaps I should buy more cashews and use a lid as a base for this. On the subject of varnish, this is what I've been using



It's Pledge One Go floor polish. Doesn't look too promising when you pour some into a clear bottle, but seems to dry clear. It was a breath holding moment when I first used it though.

I think the -120 grit will look fine, Nigel.

[Clashcityrocker]

Okay, thanks. I'll save my money and use 120 grit then.

I use something called 'Wet-look' floor sealer here, and it is even more milkier in the bottle, but dries very clear. Must be the same sort of stuff..

Got a sealing coat of varnish on the Spitfire and glued on the last parts.









Just needs a flat coat, add the light underneath and unmask the canopy.
