Keep up the great work guys, appreciate the work you put in on the other side of the pond. A relaxing and informative listen! Some time back there was a mini feature on airbrush management…loved that and would be great for more “mini-skills/tricks and tips from you guys. Cheers from Scotland!

Hey guys,
Listening to the last episode I feel obligated to let you know about Paint Rack. I first heard about it on OTB episode 174 when the boys down under interviewed the designer. It’s a great way to keep track of your paint. You can scan your bottles and the search function works really well too. It has a good set of colour tools. No more buying paint you already have.

Keep up the great work.

WHAT’S ON THE BENCH
Stuart - Finished the Dune Ornithopters, Great little kits. I am also working on painting the bases for the USS Dallas and Typhoon class 1/700 subs. Other projects include painting mini’s both Battletech and some fantasy clerics. It’s nice to have a break from more complex kits; these projects have been doing that for me. Now to decide what I’m going to do next……
Anthony - 1/72 UN Spacey Legioss, Finished a No-paint HG RX-78, the Gundam Hazel, and a few more Shelf/Box Queen projects in the works!

Terry -
Masks off, next up decals! Those fuselage cooler doors mean insignia needs to be cut up a bit, fortunately, I have an abundance of those insignia.
Blue was a primer coat of AV Wolf Grey (Maybe my most-used color) followed by Tamiya blue - I added some flat base to help with opacity, but wow it was too much. I'll never learn with Tamiya flat. Followed by Tamiya gloss blue, so it's like 5 coats of thinned paint. I think a second coat of gloss over that will be needed, and will help with the markings too. I have a set of P-47 stencils, and I'll use them on this project since I want it to be a production aircraft. I also have an idea for the shark mouth.
I see a couple of things I should address, but won't.
