      Back after 3 years..

      It seems like ages since I joined, getting my mojo working again, I have been on a non stop model frenzy for the last 3 months, completing all the 72 scale airfix spits to start, airfix HMS Victory finished over Xmas (photo,s to follow) won a bid on eBay for the "Heller Le Soleil Royal" a monster of a kit my late uncle started in the early 80's but never finished even though I remember helping biuld and paint all the guns etc, if you don't know it, look it up, it's a monster, given myself 3 years to finish in between building my private airforce, anyway great to be back and looking at all the artist to inspire me and educate, i would like to know more about "washes" and how best to apply, I am always nervouse about possibly ruining a nice shiny paint job, will post my pics to date when I can

      I am not sure of your request; probably you asks for how I did my barrel of the Pink Panther?? Once mounted the barrel of plastic, I did holes in him, and later I put metal sheet above, later deform... But the question is not this, excuse me and ask again please!!
