The model looks great but it's bloody AWESOME in that diorama, can nearly taste the beer and sausages as work on it progresses! Thanks Deano, I have been meaning to finish the diorama for a while now, but I am a little reluctant to, because it does make for great pictures. |

I got all this stuff to paint, but it's just too darn cold! Might have to look into making a spray booth for models. |

I got all this stuff to paint, but it's just too darn cold! Might have to look into making a spray booth for models. I can paint at near zero degrees mate, a paint booth made from plaster sheet, and a halogen out-door light.... works a treat, i could not stand not being able to paint for months on end. |

Like Dale says, I couldn't stand it if I had to wait. I made my booth from scratch and it works great for me. Go for it bud. |

Ok, So I took DeeCee's advice and set myself up a paint booth. It aint too pretty, but works well. So managed to get the Vette clear coated. I gotta say, the clear really made this Tamiya paint pop! Final assembly has started, hopefully done by the weekend. Enjoy, thanks for looking.   |

I agree with Dale that paint is going to look killer with the bmf on it
