Ah and if you want to make your own X20A Thinner Measure by volume :- 2 Parts tap water 1 part 99% IsoPropyl Alchohol +2% Acrylic Retarder Fluid . That'll set you back about 70p / 80 US cents for a 250ml bottle ....instead of £10 ....BANZAI !!!! 😬

Normal everyday things rebranded as "modelling" for a 1000% markup .......every time I read "sanding stick" ............ I giggle. Good tip on the sprue goo though , I normally gravitate to Perfect Plastic Putty because I hate sanding and I can feed it in with a wet brush, but might well give it a goo . FYI Tamiya extra thin is ..............according to it's data sheet . Neither chemical too hard to find. Butyl Acetate 123-86-4 50.0 ％ Acetone 67-64-1 50.0 ％ Data Sheet Tamiya Extra Thin.pdf

No , not for that reason ..😁 ..from shaking with wits out of paint bottles to mix them up, esp if they are a bit older . I bought one of these Timodel Shakers a year ago , was a bit dubious how effective it would be , as it is a rebranded generic chinese nail polish shaker. However after using it for a while I can report it works well . With new paint if you added some thinner to the bottle @ 15 seconds and your good to go. Also works for rejunvinating older paints that have settled. For ancient paints I give them quick stir to break up the sediment and then shake them for 30 seconds , with good results. I work mainly with Tamiya, Alclad and Vallejo FYI This one is battery powered ( not great) but works far better on a mains lead . Comes with a UK plug too . Paid £28 for mine from Jadlam , they are on eBay for the same. I've no relation or stake in the company , just a surprised happy user .

Does this mean my investment in Twitcoin is fake ? Dammit .

Guy who bought that one (Number 57) has never rode it AFAIK , just had it in his pub for decoration . Worked fine, fully road legal etc in 2015 , but he just wanted a garage queen . Refused a test ride when he picked it up . A few of my builds ended up like that, just decorating garages. TBH I didn't care, it paid the bills that month .

Fudge !! ......FJ1200 goodness ...my current 1986 early FJ ...large aircooled 4s from the 80's are my thang , in 40 bikes I've only had one with water cooling. 10 years ago I built custom bikes for a living for a while , all based off Viragos . Nice ot look at, horrible to ride, but they sold well .

Re Enactor Fail

Built that back in 1977/8 around when it came out ( my Uncle used to buy me the largest kit on the shelf for Xmas ) . Really fancied building it again , but the prices in the UK are seriously crazy for such a old kit. Look forward to seeing what you make of it . Sea or Stand ?

Makes you wonder how they managed to bin the only British Indian on the entire forum who also had a 100% "good reputation " , almost like there's a second agenda for some MOD. BS ..100% BS . Oh well hope guys like tanks .

Maru my friend , just went looking for you on that other forum 🤧. Found you here instead. What the Furry ?? I'll not repeat what others have said as I'm in agreement mostly , but I'm just amazed after so many years and so many positive posts , who the heck could get upset ? And by what ? Frankly I'm quite appalled , I thought it was broader church than that . At the risk of upsetting anyone it's only gluing bits of plastic together , what the heck is there to get upset about .
