hi-I have just now applied the final blue coat to my dx which i have worked on for approx 1 year. Is there a particular time when I should remove the masking ?...
Paul, the general rule is to leave masking tape (is it tape you have used?) in place for as short a time as possible to prevent the adhesive from becoming too...
I use an ahesive backed plastic sheet, which I think is used in the computor cut sign industry. It has low tack, yet holds onto broken surfaces well. eg I have...
Same here, I've used the tamiya yelow tape for all my locos and have had very little problems with it. Still had issues with paint lifting off until I satrted...

Could be a good way of representing the warped and dented decks of bogie flats? Then a bit of gloss to portray puddles? John Brouwer ... From: Nelson Kennedy...

As you're both garage modellers, something I can't quite claim...yet... Maybe it helps with your modelling! Anyway wasnt grunge a 90's thing! Maybe I should...
Hi, I have uploaded some photos from the Train Show in CHCH last weekend to http://www.trainweb.org/nzgr/TrainShow/2004/TrainShow2004.html Glen Anthony. ...

Well done, Glen, On the LetzGetBuzi shots the middle thumbnail links to the same photo as the right hand one. The foibles of cut and paste? :-) Cheers, ...

Actually, it seems that more than one thumbnail links to the wrong image, and I know I didn't make that many mistakes loading them in. So I'll fix them...
