Years and years ago I painted a tallship with real oilpaint.
Well painting is not the good word, it was more coloring a
picture with paint.
In Germany they"called it "Mahlen nach zahlen", what means in
Englisch "Painting in numbers.
The result is not so bad i.m.o.
Its dirty so it has to be cleaned but I don't know how.

I successfully found you, Bouler! And, although you said "no big
deal", I feel I should still re-apologize for being so dense I
didn't catch your sig. Now, as to your Renault, is that at all a
popular brand of car in the Netherlands?

Renault, Citroën, Peugeot, Volswagen, Toyota, Mitsubisi and a lot more.
I don't know what the most popular car is.
I like the styling of Frenc cars, so you see all is very subjective;-)

Here in the U.S.,
Citroen, Puegeot, and Renault have all made attempts a couple of
times to penetrate our market but each failed. In the 1980s, when
Chrysler was collaborating on some engines with Peugeot, I had a
Plymouth Turismo 2-door little FWD car with a 1.6L Peugeot 4-
banger in it. Got terrific gas mileage but seriously lacked
power. Styling is a very personal thing, and personally I find
French styling to be pretty ugly but what I see posted in the
a.b.p.autos group of modern cars, I think it is improving as in
their quality and reliability.

Check back into the "wallpaper" NG, I'm posting more cars
pictures right now. I'll try a few more series and evaluate the
interest or lack thereof.

I will find them later these day, I'm away this evening.
I had the most wonderful Peugeot for 25 years of luxury and sports car
like driving. It was a 78 station wagon, but it drove so perfectly for
all the time I had it. Cost very little per year and I finally let it
go after it sat in my garage for another 2 years. I never drove a more
comfortable or better car and I have driven Mercedes, Toyota, and most
all of the usual cars.
