Thanks for the kind words. I hope to have the grey freighter finished reasonably soon (a couple more weeks). The monstrous red freighter has been in its current stage for many months already... I have no idea when (if) I'll ever finish it. The tug (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.build, lugnet.space)

BRASSO is brass polish. That is the brand name. My bottle says it's made in Canada. This product is ideal for removing decals without damaging the bricks. You just have to scrub quite hard and for about 5 minutes for each piece. Nicholas Allan (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.build, lugnet.town)
