I am currently deployed to Bahrain, I just made a relatively large order to Games Workshop, to practice my painting before I go home and paint my real Army. However little did I know they cannot ship me aerosol can...As this is my preferred primer method I am slightly disheartened....

So to get to my point, does any Dakkite know of any hobby stores located in Bahrain so that I may get some primer and possibly some other paint colours that i did not think of when i ordered my shipment.

(hopefully If I do find one I can control my impulse buying......probally wont be able to....lol)

If you are stationed in Bahrain, I'd think you could find spraypaint in your local PX/BX. If not, ask them if they can special order some for you. Alternatively, make friends in the local base maintenance facility and see if they'd be willing to give you a can of black primer. Just don't use CARC.

OH thanks forgot that the PX will special order gak....was really hoping to start painting this weekend though.....oh well that will be a last resort going to hit up all the malls this weekend to see if i can find a hobby store

Dang, I don't know how long that's been around but I wish I had that website over the past two years.

Your best bet is to have your people at home pre-prime your sprues and send them to you. Better for you, better for them.

As far as the hobby shop run, i'm going to go with a negative, there.

Of course that doesn't stop you from asking one of your locals to go get you some.....
