One advantage of Gelatinous paint is ...

I may have complained about it's gloopy sticking powers in the past, but a mere five minutes ago I was breathing a rather profound sigh of relief as an old "opened" pot of Games Workshop Codex Grey bounced off the "den" carpet, leaving it ... completely unstained :)

Just as well I was trying to 'eek' the last out of the old rather than to move onto a new (in fact the Vallejo paints are very handy with their drop dispensers for avoiding paint spillages)

Hope everybody else's Xmas preparations are going better than mine :)

Important presents still to buy, no idea what to get, sounds almost like one of my infamous wargaming battle plans ;)

Watch out for vallejo as well. The nozzle of my German Grey got clogged. So looking down into the nozzle and squeezing as hard as I could the top flew off and my face turned Panzer grey and so did the ceiling, except for the outline of my head.

Something about this story reminds me about the time I looked down a "blocked" hosepipe and then my older "brothers" fixed it ... hmmm!

Was the Modern Art on your ceiling appreciated by a wider audiance?

Lucky escape there. Geordie! I've gone for a wooden floor on my games room...

Ah the joy's of UD's (Unauthorized Discharges). I once had a SLR blank round go off in my face while checking anothers chamber to see if it was clear...It was not!

Paul, I don't know much about guns but "ow", that sounds as safe/pleasant as my wife's "tingle" she got when she was wiring the Xmas lights this year

As least I trust it wasn't a relative or close member of the family?
