...Too Much!.....Nice touch Frankie!

Roy!....all work and  dial-up makes Roy not post enough.

Hmmm...

I noticed something today-

Techmod has LOTS of decals that I want.  DO I have to call my sponsor when I want to buy decals, or just kits?

No way Frank, decals fall well and truly into the category of "just bits" so prior management approval is NOT required.  That way when they arrive and the question from SWMBO is "Well what's this then....?"  The reply comes back "oh nothing, it's just bits for the kits I already have ".

Thanks Darren, that's good news!  I'm gonna use that one and go get myself some decals.

As your sponsor, decals, tools, paints, and any after market items are OK.

PM inbound Frank.

Oh Frank.............you're on the slippery slope my friend. "Just a few bits-thats all." Thats how it all starts............

Just ask Rick about how he managed to collect over 1,000 decal sheets!!!

(... and who knows what else is in his stash!)

 OH it's easy to collect 1,000 decal sheets, just expensive .  They are much easier to sneak by SWMBO BTW .

That only if you have an LHS close by and you pay in cash!  My wife knows where I ate for lunch before I even get home from work.  Darn internet banking!!!

This should be of interest to those that use Gunzo paints:

/forums/923247/ShowPost.aspx#923247

Frank said something about this a while back.

Dave- LOL, too funny!

Roy- Thanks my friend, can't wait to see it!  I'll let you know as soon as it arrives.

And yes, it seems that I need to find a new line of paint!  I love the Gunze, but HLJ BARELY stocks it.  Pretty much just misc. supplies and boxed sets, most of which are on backorder.  I picked up a bottle of Polly Scale the other day (JUST THE PAINT- NO KITS!!!) to play with.  Anybody else use it?

I use Polly Scale flat for all of my flat finish work, but haven't tried any of their regular paints.  I'm pretty much an enamel/lacquer kinda guy.

Well mates, Sunday is Easter and since I will not have access until Monday I would like to wish a very Happy Easter to you and your families.  Take a moment to remmeber the meaning of Easter,

God Bless you all.

Thanks Roy,

I too would like to wish all of you and your loved ones a very Happy Easter. I will be on duty over the weekend so I will catch up with my family on Tuesday.

As well as Easter, my thoughts will also be with those in service our their countries who cannot be with their loved ones at this time of year. 

Wherever you may be, enjoy the weekend and take care.

Thanks Roy, hope you and your family have a great Easter too as well as everyone else.  I've got a house full of visiting relatives so mine should be a blast (heavy emphasis on the "should").

Frank, I've used polyscale acryics and they are awesome.  Only problem is no one around here stocks them so I have to mail order or wait till I visit my bro in Vancouver to stock up.

Darren, so sorry to hear you'll be on duty all weekend.  Hope it goes quickly for you!

Cheers gentlemen, it's the weekend and as the CAG is busy on duty I'll dig out my secret copy of the key for the locker!

Yes, Happy Easter to everyone!  Thanks Dave for the on PollyScale, I'm gonna give them a try!  And, kudos for being Johnny-on-the-spot with the key to the locker! 

HiYa Frank! and Everyone!

Yeah Frankie, I watched the TWC radar site this morning after you alerted me.....I saw the junk getting ready to dump on you.

Yey! Five days! Cool! As for me, good news is I have the next 3 days off! Bad news is because my company has gone to a 4 day work week! Things in the housebuilding (HVAC in my case) trades are slow! With my military pension, I'll be fine though.

Too bad CAG is busy defending freedom for a few days......but the crafty characters here have saved the rum!

I'll drink to that!!!!

Well everyone, I am off for the next five days!  Looking forward to getting some bench time in, even though today it looks like the order of the day is snow removal.  It started early this morning, and now they're saying 10-13 inches!  AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Frank, Your still shoveling snow out East???  That stinks!

Good news is I have 4 days off.  Bad news is I have a house full of guests for those 4 days
