Hi Peter, thank you for joining in. No building planned ..... yet , really wanted a wind swept track in marsh land.i'm on the sidelines watching this one - bet you weaken and find a way to incorporate a building on the base...

Thanks Jim ..... The front looks like someone threw the glue over it !Hi John
I also use a fibre glass pen to clean up glue marks. I am sure things aren't really bad. Looks fine on the photo.

jHi John,
I reccomend getting a fibreglass pencil/brush I find it invaluble in removing excess glue and fingerprints without removing too much detail.
regards Jim
Thanks Peter , very kind of youLooks all right to me too John.
Cheers Rick, I go for the10 ft rule as for the tracks , they do look so good , making me feel guilty now even thinking not to use them .JR, just invoke the 2 ft. rule. Step back 2 feet and see how it looks! TA DA! No worry mate!
If you got 'em already use the Fruils. Nothing makes a Russian tank like a set of saggy baggy tracks.
Cheers, Rick H.
Hi Richard, thanks , I know but everyone seems to build glue free models . Me finding Fruil easy is about as much chance of winning the Lottery ! As for Frank he was being so !John, you're not building a Lunar Module that's dust free for crying out loud...it's a tank, the grubbier it is the better. I don't see anything wrong with your KV1 except for the missing hub where a well placed heap of mud will take care of it. I've not done a Fruil so if you make it look easy I'll get a set and go for it too. Go ahead use it.
BTW it looks ok and good for the next stage...who's Frank?
Cheers,
Richard
Morning Si ..... seeing it again this morning it looks a lot better, probably spent to long looking at it.Morning Boss,
Im another that uses a fibre glass pencil thingy if I need to tidy up messy glue.
I dry fit a lot before even thinking about glue , but still make a mess
I really wouldn’t worry too much mate, there’s also fire
You are quite right Steve, I have found my pen , I remember Andy Smith had recommended it. Do you know where he is hiding ?Never heard of a fibre glass pen so I will look that one up when I get home.
Listen to the wise words of our sage Richard. The reason they developed pigments was to cover up our mistakes. I know the mojo takes a kicking when it happens but once those friuls are on it will look the DB's.
As for Frank wasn't he the guy who found Sid and sold him some B Gas shares???
Thanks Dave. Good point.Fibre glass pens - be careful when using these - I use a surgical glove! The fine glass particles cause extreme irritation to my hands ( think of nettle rash ). It may be just my sensitivity, but be aware. They are VERY useful, though!
Dave
Oh I'll send it again. .Another late start then mate. You need to get back to those 4.00 starts. Now where did I put your number??
As for Smiffy sadly we have drifted apart and I can't get hold of him. I'm sure he will pop in and say hello one day.
