Doug,
Just had a catch up, some very nice work going on.

That’s very good advice there.don't overstretch yourself and lose the enjoyment
My advice would be to not overcomplicate things for yourself. Start simple rather than jumping in at the deep end: start by just painting the whole model one colour. You can always go over that with another colour for camouflage, special effects, or whatever else you want to try, but by taking it one step at a time you’ll learn the basics better than by trying to go all the way immediately.that's the bit that is phasing me. Everyone has a specific technique and YT certainly makes that obvious.everyone seems to have their own favourite techniques, products and processes.
Just use a primer that works on metal, which are most modelling primers and all primers sold for touching up cars.General question? Does PE have to be treated differently when airbrushing? Does it need cleaning off with a specific chemical or will general clean up do?
It was just as easy to remove the GPMG and the adjoining belt!! (Kept me happy getting shot of the machine gun). As I said - they don't fit them when pootling between the hangars/training areas round Bovington anyway!! It's not as if it's going to be placed in a realistic setting.The Vallejo primer is as good as any.
I replaced my ammo belt with one made from paper strip and thin sprue that had been stretched and cut to size. Or you could c/a a thin strip of paper to the underside of one half and once dry do the same with the other half and that should hold it. Why they choose to provide unrealistic items from rubber beat me.
Awesome. I have my Sunday job!! (SWIMBO permitting), .Vallejo primer will certainly come off with IPA. Or you can scrape it off with a cocktail stick.

Oh do tell PeteVallejo airbrush cleaner perhaps, but Spraycraft cleaner will dissolve the plastic!
Don't ask me how I know...
Pete
I use that too, like I said above Tim, my Sunday job. Now confirmed!!Airbrush cleaner will do it as well. Have to be careful of the surrounding paintwork though.
Thanks Pete, That is indeed the airbrush cleaner I use.Vallejo airbrush cleaner perhaps, but Spraycraft cleaner will dissolve the plastic!

I would be tempted to get rid of the bath and just have the shower.... or you could always.......Just been informed by higher authority I have a more important Sunday job!!
SWIMBO has managed to scratch the bath, (deeply), so Mr fixit, (aka - me), will be effecting a repair before anything. Good job I happen to have a repair kit handy. (Comes of having to repair the bath in my last place after she dropped a glass shelf and made a hole in it!!) Either way I'll be spraying something tomorrow. The bath and hopefully the Chally!!
The reason they are not allowed to carry arms is that decades ago the rookies from a certain regiment went through one of the villages and decided to get rid of all their unused blank ammo which included thunderflashes, drove the villagers under their beds and gave the local coppers red faces of rage...... I sem to remember our next training area was Dartmoor...It was just as easy to remove the GPMG and the adjoining belt!! (Kept me happy getting shot of the machine gun). As I said - they don't fit them when pootling between the hangars/training areas round Bovington anyway!! It's not as if it's going to be placed in a realistic setting.
