Country:  | I agree with you Matt partialy only.Mostly there is no need to wait but painting is the final and the most important thing in modelling.All effords have taken so far coould be wasted.All paint makers tell us that all their paints are dry in 6-7 houres for oil enamels and 3-4 houres for acrylic ones.I think it is not true.All paints no matter of what kind these are, need 24 houres for drying basicly.Metalizers need even a week.I remeber when being on the first level English course I was making a model of HMS Ark Royal for my friend.I had to put some amount of a putty on surfaces under the water line in order to get these smooth ( the model was made of cartoon).Then it was sanded and sprayed with the green paint with the resin base.The paint needed almost three days to get dry.I sprayed it in the late afternoon then the model was put away for some days.The next day shortly before we went out our room my friend dropped into and touching the sprayed model with his fingers he asked if it had been dried.Unfortunately it still wasn't and he left his finger-mark on the nice green smooth surface.I was so angry of him but he said it was his model and should have been signed.Horror......Therefore I like better waiting to hurry.

I too recall the horrors of working with metalized paints (silver. aluminum, metal, etc) where even hours late a finger print could occur. So I acquiesce. You are so right sir.
Man I wish I had time for all the models in my attic...
I just don't want to wish away my boys time at home. Different times. Different focus.
Thanks, Wurger.
Oh and btw the eyes are good.

Country: | Hi Guys... It's Saturday and I just finished painting the Stuka. Here's some
pic's as it was taped and then painted. The last pic shows my "paint booth".
After it dries for about four hours I will un-tape and put up pic's.
Charles
