No problem Tim, you seemed engrossed and I had only a short time to do the fair. Had to get home by 12.30. Next time P

Not that I saw. If it helps there is another fair at Shepton Mallet in about a month. Can look out for you there if you haven't got one beforehand. Let me know just before the fair.

Westpoint Toy Fair today The two new UH Joskin 2 wheel trailers, MarGe Ford 7610 4WD Gen II and a large quantity of round and rectangular big bales from Mandy, the hand made ones.

Well it only takes me 12 minutes to get there!! I thought it was areal good fair this time, lots and lots of old stuff around and loads of traders you rarely see elsewhere. A lot of old Britains, particularly picture box stuff. Picked up the two new Joskin trailers and some pre-ordered stuff from Mandy. Tim completely ignored me though, too busy looking at chess sets!! P

A bit like mine!!

One of these And one of these

Used to live there!!

As far as I'm aware yes...... P

Great stuff Mark, back to Old Ford as well I see!! P

Marge Ford 7610 4 WD Gen 1 Automaxx MAN 6 wheel rigid Shell Tanker Set of 20 Relpicagri Round Bales Not a lot but I'm happy, so's the Mrs!!

Great day. This show does get better. I thought there were fewer customers than the last time I went (two years ago I think) but everyone seemed to spending well. Lots of things I would have liked but you can't buy it all.

Thank goodness for that! Looks more like something from Judge Dread. Seems to be the era of ugly trucks........

This, the new DAF XF and the new Mercedes Actros all seem to have gone for a similar grille treatment. The Scania may be old design but at least its different and not so ugly.

Sue, It was a pleasure to assist a lady in 'distress'. See you at Wincanton?

Will do Sue, unless it looks like you are talking about me! I blush easily................................ ha ha!

One other thing...spraying gloss through an airbrush is probably one of the most difficult things.

This is a complex subject which would take a lot to adequately respond to. Quick, short advice from me. I have three air brushes all of which cost north of £150 each and two compressors that cost even more! The Lidl set up is fine but won't be good for fine work. It'll do big areas, scenic bases etc but not much more. It's a single action brush so all you can affect is the amount of air through the brush. Double action is a lot better You can spray anything but cleaning the brush is paramount. Acrylic paint is the easiest to clean up but is fragile and easily marked. Usually requires a final protective coat of varnish or similar. The thinness of the paint and air pressure are very important. Thin paint is good but the results will vary with pressure used. Practice practice practice and experiment are the way to learn how to airbrush. The are plenty of videos on YouTube showing techniques, watch them and follow the exercises. The Lidl setup will be a good starter to learn but I suspect you will want to spend more money on better kit to spray models. You will also probably need a better compressor. Airbrush manufacturers I would recommend are Iwata and Harder & Steenbeck, they do a complete range at prices starting not much more than the Lidl set up. Go and buy and try. Just keep practicing and experimenting till you find what suits you. One last thing always thin the paint with the paint manufacturers own thinner products. Ask questions, I'll try and answer them.

Yep same thing has happened to me in the past. Sometimes I've been lucky. Thats the wonder of eBay!! P

No they are not the same, the have different packaging. This makes a lot of difference, the more expansive has the earlier style of card backing. P

Just follow the Non-Paying Bidder process and you'll get the Final Fees refunded. I think it takes around 4 days after you've reported it to finish the process and close everything so eBay refund you. Take a look here http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/policies/unpaid-item.html Its not an uncommon problem I usually get one or two every month.

Get an Apple iMac then you don't need any virus software, nor a firewall or any other anti this or that software either. Saves you a fortune every year!!

Well you were 'free' when I was there! You saw my purchase, not quite farm related though!! See you at Shepton in September?
