Can't see that video for some reason. Think this laptop needs to get the road

Some (slow) progress with my bus kits...... The red looks very pink in the photos, I think, but in reality it is a spot on red. Paint came with the kits. Lovely things these. Well done Mr. Poots

Which is it @Jamie Davis?

Dopes! My wife ordered a dress for a wedding online, and the wise lads placed it in a safe place alright. In the blue wheelie bin Without telling anybody where it was

Or daunting?

Well rule one on this part of the forum is that you must provide photos of articles for sale along with prices. That didn't happen obviously. So off to a bad start. @murphaph, we probably won't hear any feedback if it's negative. If someone scores big we will definitely hear about it. To be honest, the list I got didn't seem to contain any mind blowing bargains. Think I would rather deal with "a man we all know".

I have been in touch with him a couple of times, latest being over the weekend. I have decided not to purchase.

Or maybe I should make myself known to this Mark dude (whoever he may be). Seems like lads in the know might get a teeny bit more considerate service. Blow ins like me, not so much. Just saying..........

You sure do have a lot of planes!

Well that was what I would have liked/expected. Oh well, maybe next time

Irish cement wagons are excellent Noel. What's the story with them? Who weathered them?

Agreed. What a beautiful photograph

Mother of Jesus! This layout is out of this world

Excellent Noel. Love the dude leaning against the door frame in the first pic

Thanks for all the replies lads. Maybe it was just me so . TWICE. As I said, I have always given Marks my online orders whenever possible, and visited the Greenogue shop a couple of times when I was up in the big smoke. I will continue to do so, to support Irish businesses. I appreciate the point that "a quick email " isn't always that easy as this causes delays over and back, but if a system was put in place whereby an email could be sent when stock is out and customer is given 24 hours to reply before incomplete order is posted, I think it might help. Or try and keep online stock lists up to date on the website. I would have said nothing if it was only the once, but as I say this is two orders in a row. Very annoying. Anyway, rant over. Thanks again for the replies

262 views and one solitary reply. Methinks there is a lot of keeping the heads below the parapet here. Hmmmm..............

Grand its enamel so, white spirit or petrol will do the job. Thanks again lads. White spirits did the job. Brush is as good as new again

That's the question the man asked at the beginning of all this after all

Every day is a school day. Final result anyway is that white spirits did the job. Brush is back as good as new. Thanks again for the helpful replies

And you use the same brand of cling film as I do

Defo not acrylic. Will try the other methods- never thought of petrol as a cleaner. All the helpful replies are just what is good about this forum

Thanks for the replies lads. I will try the toothpaste one maybe, or white spirits, as suggested elsewhere on the forum. If all goes to all I will raid the wife's nail varnish remover, as I think it contains acetone.

Thanks for the reply Tony. Unfortunately these paints came with the bus kits and are as blank as blank things. Don't think they are acrylic as I use acrylic all the time and I know they are water based. These came in blank tins without even the colour written on them. Nearly sure they are cellulose based as they have a strong smell. Thanks @Galteemore. I have white spirits, so I will give that a go. I ignored white spirits as I always thought it was "lightweight" when it came to cleaning. I failed to clean BIN primer from brushes on a previous occasion using white spirits and was advised to get meths for the job. Horses for courses I suppose. Thanks again

Lads, I need some advice on how to clean brushes after painting with the paints supplied with Jim Poots bus models. Tried meths as I assumed paint was enamel, but brush is now rock hard. Thinking of using commercial thinners next?

Sorry , only saw your reply now. Thanks for that
