Maskols a possibility, I've got some of that.  No progress over the weekend, at a wedding yesterday, Huddersfield show today.  I'll probably have something to post tomorrow.
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Well, I've got a real one now.  My brother just announced to me today that he's coming over tomorrow & will be staying with his kids for the next three nights!  No chance to get any modelling done in between the 10 year old turning the place upside down & the teenager being bored, but still expecting to be kept entertained!

Decided to risk it & strip the lot.  I realised I cocked up a demarkation line on the lower fuse, so I thought, what the hell!  Hit it with the Fairy Power Spray & realised the problem I've had before.  It was coming away fine, until I partially rinsed the model to see where I was going.  Then suddenly the paint clung like crazy, wouldn't come off.  I dried it off complelety, hit it again, it came off again, but when I rinsed the gunk out of the old toothbrush, I got a pebbly effect.  I assume this problem is unique to Humbrol acrylics, as I guess someone else would have had the problem by now.

Anyway, it's largely stripped & I'll give it a rub down with a green scouring pad to get rid of the worst.  I'll start again closer to the weekend.  Wish me luck!

Yeah, it's driving me nuts.  I'm determined to get it finished, but at the same time I just want to move on to the next project.  I'll just slog it out I guess.

Ron, I hate to say I'm just about at the giving up stage.  After the stripping problems & shipping the kids off (did actually manage to get some modelling in, with some Star Wars Easy Kits I bought for them (me???) ;D)  I attacked it again yesterday.  Thought I'd take a little bit better care of the PSR since I was back to plastic & thought I'd try superglue....

F**k me, it's awful.  I've sanded superglue before & it's not my favourite filling medium but never had problems like this, it's set like concrete.  I've hacked at it with a scalpel to remove the worst, but it's still hardly responsive to sanding.  Unless anyones got any good suggestions for getting it off, this ones going in the spares bin.  It would be easier to start another Tunnan kit, which I'm considering, but I've got another project on the go already.

Moss here is your chance to practice some filing......use real files......WRAP them with aggressive sandpaper . When you get the superglue down CLOSE to but not INTO the plastic then go back to your favored sanding medium. :blink:

I've used 180 grit sandpaper which is the most aggressive I've got.  I might be able to find some stronger decorating stuff in the toolbox, but it's a hell of a job.  I'm slightly annoyed because I asked in the shop specifically for superglue for filling, I didn't expect it to set quite so hard.  The rate I've been going with the 180 grit, it'll take days to sort it.

I'm pretty sure it will be esier to buy another Tunnan & start again.  I'm ditiching this for now, it's well past the 'quick build' it was supposed to be.  The intention was to pop it together to get me out of lull so I could concentrate on some longer projects.  It's actually made me look to another quick build!

Bad luck, Mossie. It's a shame you've had so many problems with this - I was looking forward to seeing it finished!
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

They had a three in my LMS when I picked it up.  I might get another if they've still got any when I next go in.

,,,,and it will be finished.
I have inheritted this piece of sh..................adly rejected model from Mossie at SMW 2009 :rolleyes:

It will be finished, the challenge has been accepted.

JayBee has spoken ( and may come to regret it, but I do not think so!)

Mossie has done a damn good job so far, and while it may require some drastic action to be taken, I am confident.

Thanks for passing it on Mossie.

No problem mate, glad you can use it!  I'll have a dig around in the box, see if I can find the other bits & bobs.  Have fun! :thumbsup:
