Sorry, no photos as yet.


I'm struggling to get the blue panels right. I tried using the extremely thin blue method, but found it hard to spray. I think I need to hold the airbrush further away because the paint was pretty runny as it hit the surface. Also, I got some bad bleed through my masking tape. The more viscous, the easier it's going to be to get under the tape.


I got a very light little bit of bleed on one of the flesh coloured panels. Since it would require alot of work getting the mix right again for these, I just gave it a little sanding to take the blue off. It worked OK, but it's left a slightly light patch. I can live with it though, it's no worse than some of my other mistakes.


Now, the UK Future experiment continues. I tried putting less flat base in the mix and still I got some white build up in certain places, especially around the edge. I'm thinking now that this is because I didn't use the correct future to water ratio. I used 1:5, when it's recommende as 1:4.


I'm just about to try this out again. I'll come back with the results later.
