Looks great Jem.... Remember that lunchtime in the london Cafe? I noticed whenever the word rust came up, your eyes sparkled!

Really nice stuff there..... mst be some use in the prop world.

I done a whole guitar in that stuff, well, a product like it.

Try using it with some crackle finish paints for an interesting effect.

Remember it well Jeff and it's when you mentioned how cool it would look on a crash helmet that my creative juices got flowing. Took me ages to find a supplier and finally found the company in Germany.

All down to you mate otherwise I'd have never been wise to the fact that such a thing existed.

Amazing stuff Jem.

Once I get my new kitchen decorated and out of the way I am going to get on with trying to build my 1/48th scale Testors SR-71 Blackbird model. Based on the one at Duxford.

I have not made a plastic kit of anything since the early 80s so I doubt it will be very good but i am going to try my best.

So far I have removed some of the panel lines and scored them back in. I also done a bit of painting on a "aftermarket" interior for it just to get in the swing of things. Bought an airbrush during the week and I am dying to try it but have to finish the kitchen first. Using somewhat larger brushes.

Keep us updated on progress Dave. Don't think there's been a more dramatic plane built than the Blackbird.

What are you using as a base kit? Please don't tell me you're starting from scratch

I've gone off rust painting stuff for the moment. My next project is converting a 1930's pinball machine into a coffee table - as you do.

Very cool what decade is that Jem 40's ??

Cheers Steve. Dated 1936. I've got four others (all different and made in the 30's) that I'll get round to restoring too. Have to say that it was a really enjoyable project.

I had a table top pin table when i was a little kid. The widow next door gave it to me. It had been her husbands and he was killed at sea in WW1 so it must have been a good age.
I remember it was quite big and heavy. Probably an oak board about 20-30 inches long? Maybe smaller. It seemed very big to me at the time but I was only very little.

The steel Bananarama! steel pins and were trapped at different numbers to make up your score.

I loved playing it so much that in the mid-late 60s my parents threw it out and replaced it with a smaller modern one made of plastic. This one was light and portable. Probably about A4 size.

Once I was old enough to get into pubs i could never leave the tables alone. I never took to video games and the like in pubs. But I could never resist pinball tables.

Damn should have gone with my first thought (30's), due to the paint style and decoration.

Very nice Jem love it, good job.
