Earlier this week I posted a "blog" asking for help re cheap rip-off air brushes.

Went down stairs this morning looking for something else, and checked a few of my(10)  boxes, BIG ones, and low and behold what did I find.... A braided hose for my 'rip off air brushes'.

A couple of questions : one for Aussie Modelers, and two a question re the old "Atlas" Water Tower Kit # 703.

No 1.

Don’t know if anyone has thought about this.  Painting HO scale figures is a right royal pain in the butt.

I have 360, now about 180 unpainted H.O. figures from PREISER.  It takes me about 6 to 10 mins to paint each one, even on a production line basis – 20 figures at a time.

I was just wondering if anyone has thought about making a two, three or more piece decal set of: clothing (including workers in high vis clothing) hair, shoes, stockings/tights, and other items of clothing, as a two or three piece set of decals.

Has anyone had this problem with M.E. weathered code 70 track.

I have been setting up a diorama to tune my scenery skill, (at the moment I don’t have the space for even a small layout). I am also trying to improve my painting/weathering skills.

Just for something different..!!!

A publican ( an ex train driver) in Bendigo, Victoria ,Australia has purchased a E-8 look-a-like known locally as a GM 25 and is turning it into a bar for the beer garden of his hotel.  It seem like a good modeling project for old E or F type loco's.

Here is a link with video to the web page (from the Bendigo Advertiser newspaper)
