Yes,

Cyril is really an Octopus in disguise to use all those airbrushes he has, but his paint finishes are superb.

Me, I'm only a half Octopus or is that a 'Quarterpus'.

Glad you like it anyway, happy spraying.

Hi Guys,

Bill has been in touch with me and I will be posting his 'theme' shortly. Just need to ask him a question about it before I post it.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for you wishes of good luck, however I'm still in limbo at moment, no op yet!

Hospital cancelled late afternoon day before admission, so playing waiting game at moment.

Still to be converted,

Hi bridlufc,

I fully understand your 'Bigging Up' idea for the club and I think in time we could do as good a job as others. However, lets not try to run before we can walk. This show is a toe in the water, this time, and I think that we will learn some lessons this time for future occassions.

There might be obstacles to overcome, things we had not properly considered, such as, timing, staffing, etc, etc.

These will be able to be discussed and worked out for our next attempt and perhaps we WILL be able to have invited clubs, traders to attend with us.

I know my hair is Silver Grey already and yours is too, but I am not ready for 'white' just yet!

But, I do appreciate your comments and enthusism for a show. Good on yer!

Hi All,
Yes, I would like to say it was a very pleasant day out with some great 'guys'. A lot of fun, banter, great models, and lots to buy, some more than others (not me luv, If my wife reads this).
It was nice to see that my previous demonstrations of how to lay the table coverings had been totally absorbed and after some minor corrections and gentle slapping of Cyril you got there in end.
It was also nice to see how well Cyrils training for the Olympics has come on. He did the trip to the coffee and Bacon Butty shop in record time!
Great Day, Guys.

Hey Guys,

I'm still alive!! just a little bit worn out!

Yes, I agree with the others Joe, it looks like our British weather has played tricks on your paint. I found out this to my cost once, thought I had primed properly, mixed properly, but had not counted on hunmididity and warmth when spraying. Lost a lot of paint, had to go back to square one and start again, and sprayed when it was cooler(not cold). and it worked.

For me it was a disaster, but in a way a blessing in disguise, as I do not spray in hot humid conditions anymore.

Good luck chum, pray for cooler dry conditions, mix your paint well, prepare your surface, have the right mix of paint and thinner, then PRAY!

If the modelling Gods answer all will be okay if not, Samaritans can be found at..............

Good luck,

Bigkev
