I've got a suspicion it was for a Multicab vero or two.

I did a Tayda order a couple of weeks ago, putting some 2n3904 in the cart for a project, getting a few extra thinking I'd use them down the track.

Now, I have no idea what I got them for...

How's that? I haven't been impressed with many remasters. The Grim Fandango one introduced playability problems and we preferred the unremastered Monkey Island.

I enjoyed it.  It's particularly worth playing for the directors commentary.

I never played it when it came out originally, so I'm happy to play it it's high res glory.

Trackmania Turbo.

Just finished the remastered DOTT.

I've got some epic pedal plans this weekend:

Boxing:
A simple 1 knob gate I found on I\/Iark's forum.  First attempt at a waterslide decal.

A 2 in 1 dirtbox.  This one is a bit different in that the two dirts are not stackable, in that if the pedal is not bypassed you chose between one (Wampler Cracked AC) or the other (MI Crunchbox).  My waterslides just wouldn't stick to this box (I've tried a couple of times, the box has been resanded a couple of times already!) and I've gone back to an inkjet sticker.

Rocking:
Seventh Heaven on vero.

Adding a tap tempo to a vero of Valvewizard's Small Time delay.

Multicab sim.

Simple Cabsim.

Build:
Couple of buffers and splitters maybe.

Edit:
Have to get the PIFs in the mail!

Gudday all, anyone in Melbourne looking for waterslide decal in Melbourne, I'm going to recommend these guys:

They're happy to be mentioned here, but RING and organise a time before going around as they are a small operation and don't answer the door if they're doing an order and can't stop.  I haven't tried the paper yet - just picked it up today - but they stock the white and clear.  Very good to have a chat to if you have any questions and the price was very reasonable.  I'm actually looking forward to sanding the two boxes I've messed up recently and having a go with the waterslide stuff.

Me?  No, I use a rattlecan clear that I usually cut and polish.  The best I've found is called 1k, but it can be tough to find.  It often gets used as a base for touchup paint if you go into a shop and get a tint mixed.  I used a laquer on a few builds recently, and that went on really nicely.  I've had all sorts of grief in my search for a good rattlecan clear that doesn't chuck a mental with various undercoats and inks - I've tried all manner of enamels, acrylics, brands.

Edit:  This is the stuff I use.  It seems to play nice with the etching primer I use as a basecoat:

It's a lot more roadworthy now.  I've gooped it up to the eyeballs with a silicon gun - nothing inside is moving anywhere anytime.

Unfortunately the pictures aren't showing up.

Fixed it.

I put my order in last week, friday to be exact, because I needed the stuff and didn't want to wait.  I am so, so, so, pissed.

Oh, f**k off with the perfect 1590a builds already! 

Here's mine. It's fairly choccas, but it does the job..

Thanks. I'd seen Glass Coat in there but didn't know if it was the right stuff.

I'm going to try it shortly because I have a couple of builds that are going to get sanded very soon if I can't get them fixed up. I'm trying out Rustoleum 2x Clear loves the sticker paper on top (but needs a stupid number of coats) but absolutely hates etching primer (sides). Used sanded the dudes back roughly and used etching primer on the sides of one (looks okish) and Rustoleum 2x black on the other (looks like crap).

I just use whatever I've got lying around normally.  I've got stacks of builds that are a mix of carbon, metal film, greencap, box, ceramic, those little blue monolithics...

Where do you get the stuff in Australia/Victoria/Melbourne, and what is it called over here?
