Gloss Varnish for modelers, Pledge changes a logo, but keeps the formula the same






































For years modelers have known about Future Floor polish as a cheap, effective and durable product for gloss clear coating models.  Several years ago the Future logo and formula was bought by Pledge.  Well, recently Pledge "Floor Care Finish" has started disappearing from store shelves.  There are people selling it on eBay at down right goofy prices, but it appears this was just a rebranding effort by Pledge.

Hobby Hack for Space Marine Shoulder Pads





























I have been using corks for painting sub-assemblies for a long time, but when you have 14 reavers to get through thats a lot of corks for bits and bobs.  I have seen people paint pads by taping them to a flat surface but I really wanted the ability to work with a lot of pads assembly line style and access every angle.  A good solution dawned on me the other day.  Old plastic sprue!  With some quick clipper work and a little super glue to add a handle/stand I had what I was looking for in about 10 minutes.
