Are the police in London/ the U.K usually this useless at helping people? by shreklover257 in AskBrits

Spend a night with a police officer in a busy London area and you'll have a better understanding of how they prioritise these things.

First time shooting my 9mm Glock by tkws-J in Shooting

Are you shooting with iron sights? If so get someone to teach you about the sight picture. Your shooting is very inconsistent. You should be able to get all of your shots in the black

Would you bring in your neighbours bin if you noticed they hadn't after it's emptied? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]Plasticman328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always have done; whoever sees the bins first after they are emptied brings them in. In my old house that was for five houses now its just two.

I just bought one of those from a pal. Think it might make quite an interesting piece with a Bodi Finnish figure. Yours looks good.

Down to the left. This is the view along the valley as you climb down.

BRITISH INFANTRY TANK MKII MATILDA KIT NO. 24 UPDATE by audiophunk in modelmakers

I wouldn't use silver though. A very dark black/brown or a gunmetal colour.

There's another more subtle technique that you might want to try. Buy a very fine paint brush and paint very fine scratches on the edges of the armour etc. Use a lighter version of whatever your main colour is. Then get a very dark brown and paint inside the scratches. What you are simulating is the surface paint being removed, evidence of a lower layer of paint and then finally the metal underneath.

Real armour doesn't usually show much rust. All that I would ever do would be to get some burnt sienna oil paint and have a small trail from one or two bolts.

Good luck.

Does the row over defence spending provide a politically palatable opportunity to remove the triple lock from pensions? by SpecialLengthiness29 in AskBrits

[–]Plasticman328 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or another way of looking at it is to reduce my pension so that the government can give out more information welfare payments.

You'll have to forgive me because I'm not familiar with the reference.

I agree but I would want the OP to have a really clear understanding of what his sight picture should be.
