We would spray our 'matt' models with more of a satin finish as they looked 'right'. Not sure why. I use brush on Vallejo matt lacquer which works for me as it's not too matt.Steve J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12143308117853983963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-85231479031287883642020-06-10T19:46:25.943+00:002020-06-10T19:46:25.943+00:00Thanks Keith, making this base the start of new pr...Thanks Keith, making this base the start of new project has been quite motivational.

Re ...Thanks Iain, I knew you would like the piece.<br /><br />Re the glue, I have bought Roket Plastic glue, which is non-toxic, minimal odour. It is a weld glue, but not as instant as the revell Contacta glue. Also, I have decided to glue in the summer outdoors in limited batches, masked. I then leave the figures for a few days in a shed to 'gas-off'.<br /><br />I need to build up enough summer stock to be able to paint through the winter. The breezy weather we have been having also helps with the above.Normhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05031444717952755557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5368677310334370714.post-360503565923040482020-06-10T14:07:20.601+00:002020-06-10T14:07:20.601+00:00Lovely looking artillery piece!
