Open days 2010 Saturday and Sunday.

[Paul Morris]

Hi Fellas.

Just to let you know that we will be there Saturday and Sunday.
I have been asked quite a few times about zimmerit application and having spoken to Gill and Mark regarding this subject, if there is enough interest I will be happy to do a demo some time Sunday morning to tie in with Lee's Airbrush workshop...should be a laugh at least.

Looking forward to seeing you all.

i will be there in the front row for a close encounter of the zimmerit kind,looking forward to it paul, regards simon manning.

[Paul Morris]

Hi Simon.
Looking forward to having another chat with you mate .

Here is an open offer. I have asked Gill for a spare peice of ally plate to do the zimm on but....if anyone has a tank that they are going to Zimmeritt that is not started and you want to bring a piece along unpainted ...and not the whole tank I will use your tank part for the demo... this will at least get you started.

First come first served.

Cheers Paul

Here are a few pictures I took during Paul's demonstration:

Ready to get started - or maybe wondering why he'd volunteered



Eagle eyed viewers will see Mark's "Super Mini Mill" behind Paul - I wonder how big the full size one is

Kneading the two parts of the Milliput together:



Anyone else reminded of a certain Black Lace song

Many thanks to Paul for a very enlightening session, and most timely as I have a Mid Tiger on the bench which will be in need of some Zimmerit.

[Paul Morris]

Thanks Adrian.
I do hope it was of some use to you, if you had said you were going to have a go at your tank I could have done another piece for you, to be honest it could not end soon enough I was more nervous doing that than I was in the plane .
Any way glad you enjoyed it feel free to ring up or mail me when you start I am always here to help if I can.
Cheers Paul

Hello Chaps

I have tried Pauls way in doing Zimmerit with Milliput and its a lot quicker than my way but is hard on the Thumbs. Nice one Paul.Hey ive learnt something

Lee

[Paul Morris]

Hi Lee.

Thats good I think I did mention about it being a bit hard on the thumbs at the open day...but listen when you have done quite a few your thumbs will toughen up
and see it really is true you are never too old to learn something I am going now before you get upset ha ha
Cheers Paul
