Nice haul Ralph, should keep you out of mischief for a while.

You mean I'm supposed to build them? Don, please help me to enlighten this fellow!

 

[Donivanp]

No Ralph that would indeed defeat the purpose!

Wrong thread 2.0....

While this may be better placed in the "Quotes and Jokes' thread it really does apply here, as a lesson!

While out with the wife for lunch today I commented that I would like to expand my build area to allow better organizing of the less used stuff. She commented that it would help if I got rid of all the empty kit boxes, those that I have built. I told her that I do, cutting off the box art and throwing away the rest. A strange look ensued. I then said ( the big error ), that those were all new kits, they just don't fit in the new kit area with the rest.

Not sure if I can describe the 'look' I got?? No words spoken, so I just said, do you want another coke or beer or something!

You were caught out in a moment of weakness by a formidable foe.

Poor Ralph. He seemed so healthy.

 

[Vic Balshaw]

At least your still breathing Ralph.

Ralph, what's the going exchange rate for kits to shoes/handbags?

Arrived this morning....
....and thanks to Hasegawa always being helpful:

Yellow Draken: Yellow
Blue Draken: Bright Blue

Very much helpful indeed!

Is there actually any good blue and yellow acrylics out there, that have a good coverage?

 

[Wurger]

Use a white primer ( a light grey can be as well ) Then apply either the yellow or the blue but airbrush a couple of thin layers. Certainly the gloss coats would be fine to use but sometimes the matt variants have the better coverage. But then you have to use the clear gloss varnish. Also you may not thin the colours too much.
Personally I would use the enamel colours instead of the acrylics . Usually these are much better in covering.

It's a nice looking bird Jan.

[Vic Balshaw]

You may be to exhausted but I wasn't. Nice haul.
