More fine work that man.
Thanks Peter.More fine work that man.
Thanks Steve.Well done Noah. Glad you managed to save this one form the floods. Keep it comin my friend.
Thanks, appreciate your support Richard.Hi John, I just realised you had a run in with an Empty Vessel. Don't let him bother you as we have our own problems raising the bar at the next build. It's a self learning journey...man he should have seen your first dio and compare it with the one now and there'll be more better ones to come that he'll run out of rivets to count. It's your build and I like it.
I found that Uhu All Purpose Glue sticks well for my dios. It's used extensively by architectural model builders for their scaled houses and buildings.
Cheers,
Richard
Correct indeed 570 !Chaps, Just a bit of info. that could be useful, and as 453 would, I hope, agree.
Never use UHU All Purpose glue on foam boards or any form of polystyrene. It just melts the stuff . Always use UHU POR or equivalent.
....now back to the build.

Thanks Steve. Bookmarked already!This is an interesting article all about camouflaged buildings that you might be interested in

Very interesting. I knew about the subterfuge of dummy armies and inflatable vehicles etc but an entire building!!This is an interesting article all about camouflaged buildings that you might be interested in

Thanks Neil, as you know I only use Kapa board for the outer face. Good to see that UHU normal is ok.I'm sorry Ron but I beg to differ. The Kapa brand of foamboard uses a polyurethane type foam which responds excellently to regular UHU. I have used it for years at work.
It's the more expensive foamboard so seems a shame to waste the expensive UHU Por on it .
And actually, UHU Solvent-Free works just as well on polystyrene but is cheaper.
Morning Mr Race,
Hope you and Mrs R managed to enjoy the big day in these strange times.
Ive got to admit I’m a bit perplexed about a camouflage building.....really? I wondered wether you’d been at the chocolate liqueurs !

Looks worth a read Tim, shall see if its available in Kindle.That’s a great article Steve. This illustrates an aspect of war that both ourselves and the Russians excelled.
If you want to read more, this book is fantastic as well.

Of particular relevance to this discussion is the disguise of a key building in Torbruk. The building (I think it was the waterworks) was not disguised to hide it, it was painted and modified to make it appear to be destroyed. This made it seem to be a non viable target for air attack so it was left alone and continued to function throughout the siege.....hidden in plain sight as it were. It also illustrates that Alamein was far more than just a slugfest....

Cheers RonHi Neil.
I was basing my observations on the effect the stuff has on the foam boards I use. It just melts them before my very eyes... So I presumed it would have the same effect on all similar foam to the stuff I use.
So good to read UHU GP does work on most foam boards, as it's a darn sight cheaper than UHU POR too.
Thanks for the info., much appreciated.
Sorry for the slight diversion 453.

Of course Neil, you have far more experience of using Kapa board at work than I ever will.Cheers Ron
I really hate to keep this going, and I hope you (and John) will forgive me , but UHU GP doesn't work on most foamboards, it's just the KAPA brand that is different.
It's the UHU SOLVENT FREE that does, and is the cheap alternative to UHU POR.
It seems a VERY petty point to be pushing, but I would feel terrible if someone reading this had a bad result due to my interference.
Pedant hat off, now back to John's brilliant building(and a gun or something)
sorry everyone
