Hi Mike,
Thanks so much for starting this thread and thinking of us newbies. One of the main reasons I took the plunge to start this great project was the support that you and other folks are happy to provide on this forum. The tool tips are much appreciated too, I thinking of holding on for the free items should I go for the subscription. Is this a 'no brainer' ?!!!
Cheers
Andy

Mike I have followed a number of your build diaries, they're outstanding by the way. I see you have built a lot of models, tell me where do you keep them all, or do you give them away.
Regards John

Regards John Hi John, Thank you for your nice comments, all the current models you see are either in the progress of being built, or stored untill I get all the parts.I do not give them away, and they are kept in the conservatory. I take my time, plus I have a very demanding job, I have to have lots of models on the go because I am a perfectionist, and I like to get them as accurate as possible Kind Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Mike,
Is wood primer needed with sanding sealer or is it all in one and suitable for painting straight on?

Hi Rob If I use sanding sealer I do not use primer and vice versa if you want a good Brushable white wood primer I can post a photo in the next hour Regards Mike MWG BUILD DIARIES: HMS VICTORY, SOVEREIGN OF THE SEAS, SAN FRANCISCO II, HMS HOOD, HMS ENDEAVOUR LONGBOAT, HMS VICTORY X-SECTION, 007 DB5, NISSAN GTR, CUTTY SARK, RB7, AKAGI, BARK HMS ENDEAVOUR, HUMMER H1, MITSUBISHI ZERO.

Hi
Well I am a complete middle aged newbie to this but couldn't resist when I saw SOTS. Have been researching the Forums and got myself hooked on Mike's so will be following his build with anticipation.. Tool list was suberb and am well on the way to obtaining all that is needed. Have also purchased HMS Victory but this build will be the priority for now... Looking forward to a very enjoyable build... Your posts are brilliant Mike, keep them coming...
