Some nice stuff there, I really like the Hercules. wish I could have had that much talent building models when I was your age. Keep at it.

Matty, did you apply a clear coat to those bad boys? If so, what did you use? I'm trying to work out what is the best clear coat alternative in Australia.

Awesome jobs!

Some realy top notch work there Matty - well done.

Void- I've been using "long life" floor polish you can get it at supermarkets or Bunnings, in a yellow bottle. Works well as a clear coat, but doesnt play nicely with Microsol.....

It's a bit unfortunate the Future isn't stocked in Australia. I thought about shipping it via Amazon - 6 bottles for $41 + postage. I could probably start a small business shipping it over and selling it to Aussie modellors

Rookie, going back to the problems you had with Long Life - was it because you applied it too thick? I have some at home, just not too sure whether I should use it or not. Let me know what you think.

it's probably under a different name. i think it called Johnson's clear or something like that, Down Under.
