Flying pollen - the pest for allergy sufferers & modelmakers

Today I want to complain about pollen.
As I´m an allergy sufferer the spring brings some inconviences because of the allergic reactions. This year it is very hard because of the long winter and the high temperatures in April/Maí. All trees seem to shoot their pollen at the same time...
But what the matter with the modelmaker in me? I forgot the high concentration of pollen when I prime coated the kits I shown you last week. I spryed them in my garden and guess what...? They are coated with pollen. Gives a nice, rough structure.....The kits are a mess. I will show you the pictures in the next days. I don´t know how to remove it, the only way seems to grind all the colour of with sand paper. Shame on me, with a little bit of using my brain I would have seen it coming.

But to another point. I would like to thank for the suggestions for this stylish blogger awards. I will answer all this later, but I´m very busy in the moment with my work. That´s why my Blog doesnt´t get his daily update and I fear this will gon on for the rest of the month. Please pardon my abscence, but buisness is buisness.....
Stay tuned!

Finaly I would like to welcome w40ktenerife from http://w40ktenerife.blogspot.com/
I´m awaiting a huge parcel with W40k Stuff in the next days. So I think there will be something for you in the next weeks!

  1. It's a problem I've encountered before so I spray outside and let them dry inside now especially because of the ducks aswell.

  2. I just have a box with a capping. I spray and for drying I put the capping on and let it dry outside because of the smell. But this time I was called by one of my sons and forgot to do it. And 20 Minutes later the mess has happened :-(

  4. The pollen here is so thick that the cars are all yellow and there is heaps of polar fluff all over.
    Can´t you put then in brake fluid, or rub them with a soft cloth with some brake fluid on it.
    It´s a good lesson for us all though, I probably wouldn´t have thought about the pollen

  6. That's bad news about the pollen on both the allergy and the kit front.

    Hopefully you will be able to salvage the kits
