Many thanks for the kind words gents, much appreciated
Paul: yip, it was fast and dirty, no time for previous paints to dry and powders were added into the mix with paints still wet
Matt: well I am not yet scraping the bottoms of my various bit boxes even if I have sold two cardboard boxes of few kilos of weight each last year... So there's still something left, I'm just running out of those big round bases soon. But then it's time to use plasticard or wooden ones.
Hope to splash some paint on the databank base today, the Android colours sound good for a gritty surrounding of dirt and rust... then again dirty white would be nice as well
