    That is a new way to mix paint. The paint on the tracks looks great. Take care. - Paul

    What a good idea for mixing up the paint, I also find it painful shaking paint pots in fact I don’t anymore I just stir it to death. Is it a special clamp you have to fit in the jigsaw? Thanks, Mel

    • @DiggerEvans
      @DiggerEvans  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hiya Milford, Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment, the clamp is a standard small slide clamp that was a couple of quid from eBay, it needed a little grinding to fit well, the jig saw is a standard clamp that has two Allen bolts to hold blades, I just ground the clamp a little to the same size as a blade, not thickness though that can be left alone it's just hold the clamp in place, I can show it in the next video if you like, many thanks

    Hi Digger, I have a air brush but not used yet! only because I don't know how to, did you put anything in with paint, as I keep seeing expensive thinners for air brushers? All the best Glynn.

    • @DiggerEvans
      @DiggerEvans  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hiya Glynn, this is supplied ready to use but can be thinned with ordinary whit spirit, as long as you clean the brush afterwards it will be okay, I'd have a practice first on some paper or card until you get confident, next video will be more in depth, many thanks
