So, I'm making these two Monogram Classic cars - a Cadillac and a Packard, both together so I can spray two chassis simultaneously - and I've sprayed the Caddie in two beautiful coats of light and dark grey and the Boattail in Chocolate Brown and Coral Beige and I'm just getting to the stage of putting everything together when I decide the Packard could do with a Brown coachline along the beige bodywork.
Now, I use automotive acrylic sprays for my cars and decant from the rattle cans into little hotel-type shampoo bottles, before putting into the airbrush. So I give the chocolate brown shampoo bottle a good shake and unscrew the top...... aaargh, paint explosion, brown paint everywhere.
Splattered Cadillac, Packard, shirt, trousers, wheels, tyres, workbench.....
Do you know that scene at the breakfast table in the movie Trainspotting, with the soiled bedsheets?
I've got to step back, take a walk outside and decide whether to bin the lot, or strip everything back to plastic.
Sheesh, this is a hobby? I do this for fun?
