Using household stuff.

[CJSomerset]

I've just finished a BF109 by using some stuff that I had lying around.

I managed to make a great looking wet oil patch on top of the engine block by painting it with soy sauce. ( didn't come out so well in the pics). It worked well on the white decals as well, giving them an older yellower look.



I also found all the elasticated antenna rigging that I'll ever need, hiding inside an old bundgy strap.

Anyone else got any tips for using things that we might already have?

I would never waste Soy sauce like that Far to tasty.

Ok, first up a weird one. The fluff you get from your clothes drier can be used to make grass on your dioramas. Just spray it what ever shade you want.

Rob your wife/gf nail files for sanding and polishing

I don't do dioramas, but if you send me your address I'll gladly post you the fluff from our dryer

Soy sauce won't work for me, every time I looked at the model I'd fancy a stir-fry.

just brilliant, and if you look at Frans taking the pillbox you will see some Italian herbs to go with the Soy sauce, although im not sure how that will work....
