I use mostly Vallejo for airbrushing, the dropper bottles make it a lot easier to decant the paint into the brush.

Not had any joy with them for brush painting but good with an air brush. But I like rattle cans for pre shading.

Might be that. I can’t get to my local shop, but even with delivery from another place I’ve used before same items cheaper than the big river named online store.
It is the 100% price hike since lock down that annoys me.

My local model store (15 minutes away) changed hands, and only does a small selection of things now, focusing on warhammer and similar.

The next nearest is in a different county, and they’re still in tier 2, while I’m now in tier 4.

I used to love being sent to a hearing in Horsham. They had an independent board game shop and independent modelling shop in the centre of town where I spent far too much money. No idea if they are still there.

Did you know we can approach games workshop. D join the schools league. A box of paints and miniatures for free

I tried that, and they said no, schools and scouts only?

Really. I got 3 sets. 1 for wing,1 for my
Squadron and 1 for another squadron. T

When abouts? I asked a while back.

2 years ago I got the main packs. Then emailed about 2 months ago to get the yearly 10 miniatures and I just need to go pick up.

I have approached a few companies and gotten a few bits and pieces. I know a few others have as well.

Just in case someone doesn’t know…
Airfix run project Airfix…
It’s a highly discounted opportunity to buy set airfix packs. It runs on and off through out the year and you can register your interest here:

Has anyone managed to get any kits through this? I registered for it a few years ago and often check the web page but have never managed to get anything.

I emailed other companies and got some
Bits and pieces.
