But I don't see paint bottles... go and buy some. They are not too expensive. I like either Vallejo or LifeColor.
Great shelves by the way!

Spud- I'm getting myself one of the Big Fella for Christmas! Me and him share the same birthday and my paternal grandfather served under him during the civil war. Here are my latest and (probably)last additions for 2013; Sorry for the stock photos- camera needs recharging. My first ever full resin/wm kit- ( not counting the 2A7 'cause its a conversion) This is the one I'm looking for some help with the instructions on. And this beauty ::)Now off to hide 'em while Mrs H is in work P

Cee Bee, as I remember you are right about the package. I think I used a pair of kitchen shears meant to cut small bones to get them out Dicky,

Some super purchases lately chaps. Tony those racks are really good! may have to invest in one or too great find mate. Well here is my latest purchase, couldn't resist it and I've not been near a model shop for 4 weeks! Bit of a celebration today as I can now drive again, would you believe it's nearly 4 weeks since my heart attack? so this was a treat I feel I deserve

Cheers Dicky I see my consultant on Monday so we will see what he says. Work has written me off until the new year as there is no way I can go back at the moment and carry out the job I did before and there are no light duties to speak of. All the better to get through the stash!

JHC Pete- sorry I missed your news about your heart attack- but very glad to hear you are on the road to a full recovery. Nice addition to the stash there -and from what I've been able to glean from looking around it seems to be going at a fairly reasonable price too. Paul.
