Hi All,:) Lots of thoughts have been running around in my mind since the departure of Phill Dyson, Jordan et al. Two or more years back - not long after WT was first formed - there was one member/poster who would make up, from scratch, superb large scale models, locos et al. from plastikard...

Hi Fellas,:) Phill, thanks, I remember you mentioning HMRS before, can they be purchased from Tower too (I will have a look)? Thanks both - I have some Demask red kicking about, how did you find the finish out of the can (acrylic)? My concern is matching the existing finish - if I can get...

Hi Steve,:) Thanks:thumbs: Yes that's a good idea and I was pondering very similar earlier - I even tried to source, with the help of WT members an environmental friendly chemical black a while back (which is only available in the US and yet it doesnt work on brass). When you put it that...
