Thanks FT. Yes I did pick up the Vallejo putty, but I haven't tried it out yet, I've been using the Mr. Dissolved Putty a bunch however.
Yeah, Hobby Wholesale is great, one of my favourite local stores. I heard that they are expanding again - they own the whole building and will be taking over all of the retail space. You going to be coming to Edmonton this winter, -30 degree centigrade. ;D
