People erroneously think that yacht varnish is thicker/stronger/more durable than normal varnish. The only difference between them is that the former has an ingredient that allows it to flex with the wood it is covering. Not much flex in solid metal figures and some plastic are way too flexible anyway.

Truth.

Do you decant it to stop the stuff getting a impenetrable skin in the tin? I actually use the enamel gloss from Poundland...no complaints so far and I've been using it for about 5 years now.

What scale is your yacht?

1:1 scale..........but for yacht read Airfix kit.

I am looking forward to the day when Aldi sell me a 3d printer for $300 and a printfile that does me a 1:1
Spitfire which works just like the real thing.

I may have found my Christmas present

Overpriced. They are flogging it here for $300. At that price, how bad could it be?

Yay! Now I know you lot of giant preferring reprobates won't be that interested but my first order of H&R Condontierri chaps arrived yesterday. When painted I will have 5 pike blocks, 3 units of Gendarmes and 3 or 4 harquebusiers.

Is Condontierri a kind of cake? The Gateaux wars?

No, you're thinking of the Confectionierri. Condontierri were disaffected public transport workers who were made redundant when driver only busses were introduced.
