OK, I gave up on finding Hemi Orange in a bottle.  I bought a spray can
and now need to decant.  I've not done this before (at least not on
purpose).  Any hints on how to do this with as little mess as possible?
Thanks (:>

I was going to buy one of these for my Seag C6,  then it occurred that if I
picked up a chuck on an MT3 taper I'd be able to use it in the mill as well.
Would I lose anything doing this?
Thanks

I need some DCM(T?) 1504 carbide inserts (among others), Jenny at JB
seems to be unavailable, J&L seem expensive, none on ebay at the
moment.
Any other suggestions?

Anyone a recommendation for a shed heater, 1) Halogen Heater, 2) Ceramic Fan
Heater  both on sale at Netto on Monday. At the moment I am using a very old
fan heater.

I asked about PE details for the Dragon Bismarck a few days ago, got no
response but in the meantime have found that a company called "Voyager"
makes a detail set for the kit that is reasonably priced.  Anyone have
any experience with them?  Is it good quality stuff?

Currently accompanying a Hasegawa F-4C across my workbench is a Tamya 1/48
Spitfire which is being converted to a Seafire LIIc using the MDC conversion
kit.
The kit provides a replacement lower rear fuselage to house the A-frame

Crucibles for melting of metals are quite expensive here in Australia,
as they are all imported.
Luckily, my wife is going to visit her parents in Wales, and I've got an
opportunity to have one brought back with her.

I sold a kit of this aircraft to a fellow just recently ,who has started
to build it.The poor bugger has found a couple of parts missing from the
kit ,namely the control stick and the rudder pedals . (The kit was still
sealed in it plastic/cellophane bags BTW).

It seems that in spite of the announcement  which Tony Jeffree posted back
in December, ( see below) Magelica aren't bothering to reinstate the
original subscription renewal date unless a complaint is made. I just
received my renewal form which shows one issue deducted. If there ...

Ok.........It's below zero and still snowing in Colorado Springs.
Another 6 inches in the last 2 days.  The 3 projects I have going have
reached the stage where additional painting is necessary.
I can't paint so I picked up one of the new Hawk 1/4 Scale Hemi Engines

I gave a kit to a friend of mine recently.  It was a 1/72 Hasegawa
Tornado kit.  I had the kit for about 15 years in my closet.  For a few
years it was stored with the rest of my " stuff " in a storage locker
that was not " air conditioned ".  The decal sheet looked fine however.

Again im not happy mixing the colour for normal green, the mixes i have done
are too light, too dark.....
Ok whats the best colour out of a humbrol/revell tin or Tamiya jar even if
it needs white adding

What Tamiya model does this engine go into?  My Tamiya M48A3 (1/35
TAM35120 M48A3 Patton) does not have a removable engine deck.
Any suggestions?  I have asked several vendors that sell this kit but
no one seems to know.

Will there be any Models put out for the ''Transformers'' Movie that
will come out in July.
My kids are really pretty big into the whole Transformers thng.  I kinda
think they are pretty KewL as well and I hear that the new Movie is
