  • Been "at it" again

    Finished my mini spray booth! i was gonna just cut the end off a cardboard box but thought thats tooooo easy, stuck some cieling spotlights in the top for light and heat and a MattF special comp fan on to take the dust/mist out
    (only two leds working mate!!! i want a replacement) turntable to turn the thing to be sprayed round and roberts your uncle, sprayed the stien with dk grey matt and ready for black gloss tomorrow (when i buy some)

    Also made the mould's for the tyres, after some failed attemps with latex, used RTV silicon and it's worked well, really picked up the detail which i was unsure of as it's pretty gooey shoit, i can now cast in polyester resin with no probs, i found out after make em in latex that you cant cast polyester resins in latex moulds as it goes "mushy" on the first 1mm giveing a sticky and bad detail finish, i can also use the polyester water clear resin left over to do the water/muddy water in the diorama, gonna sink a truck in up to it's screen, on an angle sort of thing



    and i know i need to get out more but nobody'll pay for me

            Ta ever so much Still got some of the fans Matt, i used two 120mm ones on the compressor cooling box in the back of the truck and have two left plus three of the smaller ones, just could'nt be arsed changeing that one over, plus i think the batterys low,
            A biggun would be nice Andy, great if you have the room, they had some nice ones at the coachbuilders, real state of the art, and bouble deckker bus size,
            Apply you mine to it Rod and it'll be ok, impatience is the worst problem, and only do it when you feel like it, dont matter if it takes a year, (of course if your chucking it away, mate, pal, buddy)

                      Excellent work Ian.
                      When you've finished with the spray booth, you could use it to make your own kebabs.
