Ferret90

Got my fergie delivered

Looks exellent Martin

I like the look of the 4000 John

Looking exellent Sean

Looks lovely scenery Corky, is it hot over there at the moment

Better whip outside with the black spray paint

Generally I use a Halfords primer, then paint and then clear gloss lacquer, I use Halfords paint as it seems to give a good finish and it takes to most things and sometimes it doesn't need priming. I'm sure there are a lot better ways of doing it but it works for me

Yes, boosts off a bburago 110

Cheers, Yes a Britains heritage blue one, the colour never grew on me

Haha, you have caught the Land Rover bug!

Nearly finished this... not everyone's cup of tea but it looks a lot better Than the cobalt blue it was. Waiting for some window tint, finish painting the lights then I'm done

Nearly bought a Massey 35, pretty rusty and they wanted £1800 for it. I said I would have it but changed my mind as I've been saving for a Series II Land Rover for a long time now so better spent on one of them. You live and learn

Massey on the mixer this morning at the local dairy

Sean, I once did a thatched roof so I used plumbers hemp cut up and bundled, I find a dab of loctite and cross the strings over and it does the job, no need for knots

That looks exellent Sean, liking the magnets idea

Stunning John, look forward to seeing some paint on them, will look fantastic

Stunning models Martin, pictures really do them justice

Down here on the island there is a real shortage of hay, just nothing there. Small horsey bales have gone up in price and there are so many horses, it's like the bloody Wild West! Most of them don't have any land for hay and are starting to buy them over from the mainland, absolutely ridiculous!! I helped with my uncles field and there was nowhere near as many bales as last year

Thanks Paddy, I use 'Pages' app on a mac but it's the equivalent of word, publisher, or PowerPoint I guess. I find the decals on the web and just put them on a blank page. It can be a pain getting ones without sample writing across thou.Then I scale them up by getting the zoom on the computer so the page is the same size as and actual page if that makes sense. I'm using some inkjet decal paper from the local model shop but I have tried others but failed in getting them to stick to the model but I think I've found the right stuff. There is white and clear stuff . After printing I sprayed it with some Halfords car lacquer and then used it as a normal waterside decal. I will try and find out what this paper I'm using is called, it just works on a normal printer.

I've finally got some homemade decals to work, ignore the bad painting but otherwise I think their quite good...

Sorry to hear that Andy

Looks exellent Sean, what are you using for the tin, can it bend?

That looks exellent Martin

I find if you give it a coat of Matt varnish is sticks really well or if you sand the glossy finish off the paint. It takes a lot of trial and error, also i think darkish blue is really hard to weather abit like red
