Memorial Day 2015
Well, it's Memorial day and I was hoping to get some work done on some modeling projects, but regular life got in the way. I was able to take in some war films in a War movie Marathon on Antenna TVwhile working on bills and paper work.
The first film I caught was "Castle Keep"
I really Liked this film!

Then I saw just some of "Beach Red"

I was able to see 3/4 of Anzio

And finally I watched all of "The Bridge at Remagen"

Acrlyic Pumice Gel for Basing and Terrain
I accidentally bought Vallejo heavy Gel Gloss 26591, and did not know what to do with it. So while searching internet for practical use of gel, I found This VIDEO on this product for basing, and it seemed very interesting. It took me a while to track down this exact product and it seemed expensive at about $16.oo, however it seems that it may save a lot of time and hassle, so I think it may be worth a try
