Do they still make Metalcote Chris? I've not seen any for ages.

I'm not sure Kit, which is why I picked them up when I saw he had them.

There's a couple of traders who still stock the enamels at shows, Mr Model is one, and it's worthwhile checking their racks

Well, I'm damned, I thought they'd stopped making it ages ago and gave up looking. As Chris says it does give a great metallic finish even when brushed.

It's good stuff, although I've had duff pots (we're talking years back). The range could do with a few extra shades as well. I've got a vague feeling it used to?

With all of the Ammo..Vallejo and so on acrylic paints I've got there's still a very nice pile of Humbrol paints in the paint stash 
Still have a heap of enamel paint and a wee while back my Humbrol rail colours acrylic paints increased dramatically with a wonderful score from trademe 
These paints I really do like ..great coverage and very easy to work with and the odd ball colours are brilliant even tho they are British rail colours 😀

Probably because not many traders stock Humbrol, let alone their enamels at shows Kit.

I know they used to do specific rail and wargames colours in enamel (the wargames ones, especially the uniform colours, can be very useful) didn't realise the rail could be got in acrylic ?

I didn't know about em either ,but awhile back I found this colour called dirty black ..brought it and loved it right from the get go Chris ...there's a good amount of em too ..not sure but I think 26 colours in total 🤔
These are great paints mate so I get these where I can find em ..ive now got a heap on em 
What I didn't know was the enamel for wargames and rail ..this is news to me bud ..so I'm gonna go looking ..these might be useful 😊

The Wargames ones were sold in specific sets (rather like Hataka nowadays) so you had Napoleonic uniforms, ancients (a very useful set) etc, but they only produced them for a few years and I haven't seen any, other than mine  , for eons. Always worthwhile keeping an eye open though 

Just had a look at the stash as a memory was trying to force it's way into my concience, and the Wargames colours were part of the Authentic Colour range which mainly consisted of of "matched" aircraft and armour colours.

I broke a mount on one of the small skis sanding the theatre band today.
Once it was glued I began painting the topside camo.  One coat of one colour on.
Not a good finish as it was over 30℃ and the paint was drying rapidly.  Its sortable, but i'll probly break something else sanding...

Well this is one thing I can be certain about Chris ..if you ain't seen these in eons there ..then they're hens teeth here 😬
Still tho..do ya think that's going to stop me looking..then nope 😆
Cause if ya don't look ya don't find ..yet strangely I seem to get the opposite of that alot..I ain't lookin but I'm finding 🙃....go figure

Much cooler today so paint went on as it should.
I managed to sand back yesterdays lumps without breaking off anything, made good, and added a second coat of the first colour.  And then a partial first coat of the second.
