Hmmmm ..... When I started making kits in the 1960s I made my own filler from clear dope and talcum powder, as recommended by Alan Hall in the Airfix magazine

There's no convenient way to stir inside the bottle, so I'll just use it up as a slightly thicker liquid glue, and buy some tube putty

Following my recent Post on sprue goo, I now need to buy some putty A Search through the Scale Models Shop shows that my choice seems to be - Vallejo AK Interactive, green or white Mr White Putty Is there anything to choose between them, or any other comments, please?

Well, this hasn't turned out very well I added some chopped sprue to the bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin, the amount based on several YT videos ...... shook it regularly for about half a day and left it overnight All that's happened is the sprue has clagged together on the bottom of the bottle to...

Thanks for your replies I have Milliput, Mr Surfacer, and various bottles & tubes of glue The presenters of the videos seem happy enough with sprue goo, and I have a bottle of Tamiya Extra Thin that's under half full, so I've started to make my own, partly out of curiosity However I suspect...

My tube of filler putty is more or less finished, and I thought that instead of buying more I'd try making my own sprue goo, but I have a question - In the past when I've used too much tube glue this has softened the surrounding plastic and taken ages to fully dry and harden How do I prevent...

Welcome to the Forum and back to the fun! Modelling is still sort of the same - gluing bits together then painting - but it has become more sophisticated I think perhaps the biggest changes have been the introduction of sprue cutters, acrylic paint, and an airbrush There are loads of YouTube...

Yes - as I understand it, plastic modelling putty was developed in the USA by Custom Car enthusiasts and car body repairers To repair car bodywork you use a 2 part epoxy filler, but this is a bit coarse and tends to leave air bubble holes and other minor imperfections and unevenness, so they...

For most of my modelling career I've used Squadron Green Putty, and I've been happy enough with it; unfortunately I hear it is no longer available But besides that, as I haven't been making as many kits as I used to, my current tube of Green Putty is drying out in the tube, despite keeping it in...

Best drummers? ......Besides Ginger Baker? Ah well, now we're getting into the inevitable and never ending discussion and argument of - 'my favourite guitarist / drummer / keyboard player is more obscure than yours Nevertheless, the best drummer I have seen live is Jon Hiseman

I don't really like punk or metal, I prefer slightly earlier stuff - The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones of course and others like Cream, Captain Beefheart, & Traffic; Prog Rock such as Pink Floyd, & Gentle Giant, and especially The Canterbury Scene, such as Soft Machine, Caravan, &...

Just cut down a couple of your older or worn brushes For general brushes at reasonable prices I can recommend www.abcbrushes.co.uk

Yes, I use the brushes from the Airfix starter kits as well, and I think they're quite good I haven't had much success with very cheap brushes, they tend to splay very quickly, or the bristles fall out as I'm using them Although that was years ago and they probably had dirt cheap natural fibres...

Well, lots of ideas, that's what Forums are for .......... decisions, decisions However, there's only one way to find out what you like and that's to buy one or two of each type and see how they compare And don't forget ABC Brushes; their mixed pack FS-2, 10 brushes for £12-50, is good value...

Here are some comments on Winsor & Newton brushes, with typical prices for a size 2 brush #7 Kolinsky sable £20-68 Obviously an excellent brush but I find them a bit too soft and no matter how careful I am they always seem to wear out on me Sceptre Gold 11 £5-39 My preferred type...

Sable brushes were recommended as for a long time they were the only decent fibres available, but they always seem to wear out on me- or perhaps that's just me However, in recent years synthetic fibres have improved considerably, and I like Winsor and Newton Sceptre Gold 11 brushes; in fact I...
