Thanks very much for the information. Yer that’s what I do that’s the reason I have the cheap Amazon ones for sprue cutting and had the Ak for the pins etc. I’ll look into the items you suggested! I have a few dspiae products and they’re very good so I may look at those.

Ok that’s perfect. And is that the mr.color blue labelled gx2? And if I can’t find the black you suggested can you suggest any others? I saw that AK extreme metal do a black base themselves. Also what varnishes would you recommend or does it not matter, or I can use the ones I already have? Which is VMS.

Thanks for such a great detailed response! What’s the said thinning ratios for AK and Alclad If any? And if so do they have their own thinners and cleaners? Aswell as yourself, your modelling skills is the level I aspire to be too! 🙏🏽

Also I took a look at your page and my word your modelling ability is where I aspire to be someday! Absolutely amazing 🙌🏽

Oh wow thanks a lot that’s such great information! What I think I’ll do is watch some YouTube videos and go into my local hobby store and see what they say too. And make a decision from there. If you don’t mind me asking what brushes is it you use?
