Mate of mine actually came up with a three tone dessert camo paint from a single Citadel pot! Still can't figure how he did it, I've never been able to replicate it but it looked great!

He probably stirred it once clockwise, the 2nd time anti-clockwise and the 3rd time with both brushes at once.  :lol:

Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

and one enterprising soul from the motor pool sent some hapless boy to get a fallopian tube from the stores who redirected him to the medical centre......  :blink: :blink:

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest.
Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

sending the apprentice to get a metric adjustable wrench (spanner) always produced a few laughs, along with getting sky hooks.

I went for a Long Stand in the site office. Foreman thought I was a new guy so I stayed there, nice and warm, for about an hour til it stopped pouring with rain!  ;D

As a Student Apprentice in 1962 my welding instuctor sent me to get some 'teak welding rod' from the stores..........

But I saw through him and went to the Pattern Shop where I'd been the previous month and got them to turn me up a few lengths of dowel and  put them in a welding rod box before I returned to the Welding Shop.  ;D

The instructor's face when I handed him the box was PRICELESS!  :thumbsup:
