It seems Acorn Models stock both Milliput putty and Testors ‘Dullcote’ varnish – at least according to their web site. I regularly wander into Acorn Models in Auckland and I’ve been looking for these products for a while in New Zealand, so I can’t believe it took me long to figure that out.
Ordered a Natolis long grass product from PitYak studios in Wellington recently. I was thinking of using them to detail the Mordheim canal, but will first experiment with them on a WHFB water feature I threw together last night.
Yeah I’ve found Acorn quite good in terms of range, if a little expensive.
Don’t buy any microballoons if you need them. I have 98% of a tin that is not being used. It only came in 500mL tins, and the stuff goes sooo far that a couple of tablespoons will extend a couple of drops of epoxy resin into a large amount of extremely strong filler.
I’m struggling to think of a use for micro ballons in my stuff Ben :)…however do you still have any of that Woodland Scenics water effect stuff left? He asked curiously?
