Galatians 2:16
Hey Checkmate! Yeah it looks like I'm going to go online now.....I am old school. I have preferred in store for years, but now that seems to be getting problematic. Oh well.
I want to get the paint stripping finished on my Angel. Maybe I'll finally get it done over Thanksgiving break. Every other week there seems to have been one exam or another. This week is chemistry again. I think to switch things up, I'll work on filling in the wheel wells. I intend to do an in flight version. I actually am considering adding the smoke trail..... That would be fun!
Hows modeling going for you? ![Snail]()
I always bought paint from a store, like you, until the shops started going out of business. Several have failed over the years (in Madison, WI) that I used to patronize. Even then, it was an hour and a half drive to get there--and they were often out of stock on the paint I needed.
Funny you should mention paint stripping and how modeling is going. Not too well, currently. I used to paint 54mm miniatures, and used Imrie-Risley paint. That went out of production years ago, so I thought I'd try 28mm figures using Vallejo acrylics. I'm finding it a steep learning curve, so mostly lately I've been painting; making a mess of things; then stripping the paint for another try.
Fortunately, these are metal miniatures, so I don't have to worry about melting plastic, but the paint strippers aren't particularly potent, so it's taken repeated soakings. I've got about a dozen soaking in jars right now.
There's a couple of group builds that interest me for 2021--one for Supermarine and one for Messerschmitt.
I hope you make progress with your Blue Angel project. I remember the days of college, and those exams only interrupt the stuff you really want to do.
Have a safe, happy, relaxing and blessed Thanksgiving!
