Back at the start of the year I bought myself a cheap Chinese airbrushing booth to give it a go. Until today it has been safely in the box. Today I decided to give it a go as the temperature in Brisbane was forecast to be 39C (but only got to about 37C) and I elected to stay inside most of the day (apart from having to do some chores)
The LPG (propane) tanks I am painting are the kit PK gave me to do for the Club layout. So here is how I went.

| Tanks to be painted however I need to mask up and remove the platforms |
 |
| Platforms removed my using glue to 'melt' the bonds |
 |
| Tanks masked up ready for painting |
 |
| Booth setup in the laundry with exhaust tube out the window |
 |
| Tank ready for airbrushing on turntable |
 |
| Tanks airbrushed in Tamiya white acrylic |
On another note yesterday was also very hot and I decided to go to the Banyo Library to a MERG presentation by Davy Dick, over from Scotland on his annual holiday to the Sunshine State. His talk was on layout sound and the various ways to enhance a layout's animation. Very informative as always and a hell of a lot cooler with the a/c than RMCQ's monthly meeting in the tin shed yesterday (36C)! (Sorry RMCQ but Davy only comes out once a year).
