Yes that it a long shot of my first ever re-paint - converting the American DH.4 into 25 Squadron RFC version, it getting their.. fence permitting, lol

Hire a lackey to do the fence Chris, whilst you get on with the meaningful job.
You can always plead post wasp sting paralysis.

Chris if its not got Bristols leave it to someone else to paint.

**Popsical** · 08-14-2018 12:06

I've ignored my shed to paint planes!

**gully_raker** · 08-14-2018 17:11

One must get ones priorities right Chris!
Damn the consequences!

now thats an excellent idea. not only will it give the fence some pleasing imagery to admire but the likelihood of you being tasked to paint anymore fences will go down precipitously killing to birds with one stone as it were.

Actually that is an excellent idea and I've been thinking about putting up a fence. You could cross the pond and visit and paint a scene on mine as well.

**Hedeby** · 08-16-2018 08:42

What a great idea, lol

**Hedeby** · 08-16-2018 08:46

Beat me to it! If you muck up the job without making it look obvious...

You will lessen the honey-do list in hurry this way. Of course if you get caught, well, we disavow all knowledge of this conversation.

**Hedeby** · 08-17-2018 09:44

Thank you all for the superb advice chaps

**ReducedAirFact** · 08-17-2018 10:16

Did you paint the fence in Five-Color French Camouflage?

what conversation

?

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 08-18-2018 09:33

How many pots of vallejo did it take Chris? To paint the fence I mean. Your model shop must love you. Cheaper to use a 4" brush and some cheap Fence Paint mate.

**Hedeby** · 08-18-2018 13:04

Lol , you try painting 28mm vikings with a 4" brush

**Lt. S.Kafloc** · 08-18-2018 14:46

Dipping is quicker, especially if the tin is a big one.

**Rebel** · 08-18-2018 16:11

Did you mean Dripping? I used to love a beef dripping sandwich in my youth. That would have been in the years after the war, that's WW2! I'm not that old.
