What colour attracts giant gorilla's?   

[Maenoferren]

good point she might look like a giant banana if she is yellow!

OUt of interest are the flying dinosaurs the same as the flying dragons?

The flying lizards have their wings close to the body, you've got some of these I think?  The flying dragon has it's wings extended out, flames from the mouth, and no horn on the nose!

You'll be fine: undercoat white if you're painting yellow...or if you've already undercoated black etc, paint the I-want-those-bits-yellow white first & you'll be coolio 

[Maenoferren]

yeah was thinking white, orange, yellow- orange then yellow,then yellow-white for highlights but then again It will probably be white, yellow, yellow wash finished

[nikharwood]

What? No multiple layers with wet-blends? Heretic 

[Maenoferren]

They are all wet blends, I can never be bothered to wait for the layer before to dry

It is Blue, as is a portion of the kitchen wall..... I found a can of Ultramarines blue and thought yeah blue, gave it a dman good shaking and somehown, not quite sure how it kind of went kersplat and went in every direction except the plane. For some strange reason I decided to cover more than normal with paper (Normally I do it in the shed but it was raining) the paper got 95% of the paint, 4% got me and only 1% go the wall....oh am I in for a bollocking tomorrow!!!!!!!

  Mate: you are having a top Friday night, eh?!!

If you've not had a drop now - best correct that right now & at least you'll have something to blame!

[Maenoferren]

Fear not I survived, the wall is plasterboard anyway and needs covering -phew. its a nice blue to be honest. I will finish it off tonight, wondering how to have it in flight

[nikharwood]

Nice 

For planes I tend to use a 50x50 base & either drill out a nice hole & use dowel or plastic rod which is then embedded into putty on the base...for lighter planes I'll use a large paperclip bent around & glued into a groove I file onto the underside of the fuselage... the clip is bent into a triangular shape for gluing to the base [& again covered with putty]...

...if that makes sense   

[Maenoferren]

Cheers Nik I will see what I can find loitering around here
