There is a little trick to paint buttons: use a pin and not a brush!<BR/>Regards<BR/>Rafarpardohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092946570314337520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-51404902692783376692008-05-27T16:28:00.000+01:002008-05-27T16:28:00.000+01:00Hi TonyThanks for that.

They went for over £50 but not to me sadly.<BR/><BR/>I am trying to be restrained on the buying front at the moment as I have over 300 vintage figures in the painting queue plus those USA Swedes.<BR/><BR/>Having said that I am about to recieve another 90+ USA version castings. They include Austrians and - at long last - some Prussians !<BR/><BR/>Glad you enjoy the blog.<BR/><BR/>Regards<BR/>IanStrykerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14258922461691204362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6875985959507775409.post-43525784716932271102008-05-27T16:09:00.000+01:002008-05-27T16:09:00.000+01:00Not a comment specifically but wanted you to know ...Not a comment specifically but wanted you to know (if you don't already) that quite a few original Hintons have popped up on ebay recently.<BR/><BR/>No interest personally just like your site and your project aims.<BR/><BR/>Tony Smith<BR/>Tbilisi <BR/>GeorgiaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
