A new ‘this is what I like to build, pinned post’…variety being…well quite an interesting challenge I suppose…🤷‍♂️

I swear my paint bottles move towards the build area like those statues in Dr Who move when you *blink*…👀🫣

Sometimes posting photos is just very useful for a build in that respect…👍😊

It really is good…I had been wedded to Tamiya acrylics and still use them because I have a lot of them but now the majority of my painting is done with SMS paints…I think it may take a while to run down my Tamiya stock but they still have their place for sure…😊👍

Not for normal use…you may choose to thin it in some circumstances but nope it sprays beautifully from the bottle…

For those with a keen eye…I just noticed this and have deployed clamps and glue to fix it…🙄🤦‍♂️👍

Just some ‘no it’s not all glued together yet photos’ but I would say that the fit on this kit so far is excellent…the best AK kit I’ve built thus far at least…really enjoyable…

I have pretty much switched to them for all my main colours now…they mostly don’t need a primer (apart from maybe yellow so far) and spray beautifully. The colour range is great too and they are very helpful if you have questions too. So…brilliant I’d say…

Progress! The US sand brown seems to work nicely to help show off the bright gas cylinders…

A second box of gas cylinders to paint now…I’m going to use a second set of colours just to preserve my sanity and make it a bit more interesting…🤷‍♂️😊
