Mark Bilas of Wolfpack Decals passed away earlier this month of a heart attack.
His website is still up with no notification of his passing. There is a concern that unaware modellers will place orders and then get pissed off when they don’t get their decals.
Might want to let folks know that if you have made a purchase then please be patient while the family gets things sorted. Also, if you plan on placing an order from Wolfpack please hold off until the family can figure out what to do with it.

I would love to hear a “PE Whisperer” show where old newbies like me can learn that PE requires specific tools to be effectively applied.
Another technique piece would be on masking, including which products work best. I have some Vallejo mask liquid and it simply is worthless. 3M Blue tape, so so. Tamiya 2mm flexible tape – OMG! The stuff is really nice. But am I applying it and cutting it properly? Especially on the old Hasegawa 1/72 H8K Emily that has the glass frames molded on the inside and the outside is smooth? I’ve got pics, I’m getting better but … this baby won’t be winning any contests.

The humble Marble Tile
Useful as a level surface for aligning pieces, flat sanding, height gauge use, cutting. Sure, machined steel engineer’s blocks are probably better but not by much.
