Lovely looking paint job sir. Re the black basing, what paint mix and psi did you use? The final effect looks very cool.

Cheers :cheers2:
Its been tried and tested, it works! So don't blame the system if you're no good. :doh:

Paul did it for me.
As for the club, ive looked into it before, but Mondays are hard due to other commitments. I think the Dartmoor branch is more practical for me anyway. :th:
