Just a note of caution
Posted by mfsob on Thursday, March 27, 2008 9:36 AM

When doing final assembly of your ship model on its lovely ocean base, it is a really, really bad idea to have similar-sized containers of white acrylic paint (a bright white color) and gloss acrylic gel medium (a bright white color) next to each other.

I just thank God they're both water soluable ...

I feel your pain....

I once used a coffee mug for my brush cleaning water.......

Once.

Probably made the coffee taste better and the brushes come cleaner too!

When I was on the USS George Washington(CVN-73) Some kid who worked in the paint locker thought it would be a good idea to store some thinner in those little paper cups you get from the mess decks. He also used the same type of cup to drink soda from. Yeah, you guessed it.

Is it wrong to get called away to a medical emergency and, when you get to the scene almost bust gut trying not laugh at someone?...Whistling [:-^]

Reading is an important skill, I've been guilty of a similar mistake. I painted a whole sheet of decals chrome, the can looks just like the decal bonder. Dead [xx(]Smile [:)]
