and now a true revelation....

I thank you..everything is much clearer now...

Can you explain Off-side at the same time?

I suspect there are two types of "Exhibition Standard" models. Wonderfully detailed, accurate, competition winning piece of work which hopefully also run well. A decent looking model , well presented but reliable and not likely to disintegrate when handled or transported to a show... Both have a role... Chris

Exactly....and I think the consensus is that wearing a mask benefits others.

I'll send you a scan of my Rule 1 Joker Card Rob...

That grass looks very tempting....

Sheet lead has the advantage that it can be cut to size, painted and used as a false bottom in open wagons without losing too much of the empty wagon...

Indeed - a very inviting weathering project.. Chris

and a few Parkside kits.....

Well..it is almost the bleak midwinter...

I've now seen it in at least one comparison chart. Chris

You can see the joins in the grass mat...not impressed...

Yes I agree - enamels give you much more flexibility...

Antics seem to have a reasonable range and fortunately are "local" to me although I've used their mail order as well. I think Humbrol reduced the range some time ago - I have some spray can colours that are no longer in the range. numbers. https://anticsonline.uk/Category/Humbrol-Enamel_N944

I've found Revell to be a good substitute for most colours but Humbrol "Leather" 62 is a go-to for weathering and I've not really found an alternative. I think 85 may work but some one on here will know I'm sure. Fortunately I have a few tins of Humbrol in the stash. I use the enamel colours mainly. Chris Hopper

I think they are published for Keymodel world subscribers only now - not the magazine - I discovered this just after re-newing Hornby mag. They did this during Lockdown and subscribers should have been notified of the change. I didn't see anything in my inbox.. I think they are then put on YT some weeks later. Chris

I know its not a monkey.....its art darling...

I'll get some extra badges done...

Likewise - I have one on its way. Chris
