I haven't used spray undercoat for donkeys years because I spent just as long painting in the bits the spray missed as it took with a brush. I use Poundland enamel matt black applied by brush...works a treat for me. Plus the fact that 10mm chaps don't take that long to undercoat.

Peter, thanks for the video link. I did do the uspside down thing, but I don't think I ever managed to exhaust a can of its contents before getting a nozzle block.

Never had a block myself, but don't use that much anyway. I stopped using spray cans after getting white haze from spray varnish.

If he gets in trouble from Mrs Toxic for doing stuff in the extension, spraying figures in bed would likely result in " Toxicpixie the Eunuch". :D

A tip is to invert and spray to clear the tube and then take the nozzle off and keep it in a jar with enough turps in to cover the nozzle hole. When I tried spraying this worked for me every time.

That wouldn't go well for anyone :)

Although it's one way to deal with a clogged nozzle...

I had this once, but i leaned a trick, from the interweb somewhere, that if you let the affected area dry then respray it the varnish goes clear....I was skeptical but tried it and it worked!

Bunny - like the look of your KoW armies. But I was particularly interested in your LoA units and spent a good while perusing those posts, lots of inspiration.
