It's looking good Jeff, sorry about the tail wheel. Wish I had one in the stash, I'd send it to you. No sign of it yet?

 

[nsmekanik]

First I'd like to thank everybody for stopping by, sorry I'm not the greatest for leaving feedback but I do really enjoy everyones builds and appreciate the tips I pick up along the way :drinks .

Thanks for the offer of a replacement tail wheel guys , I do appreciate it but it's all good. Fortunately I model barefoot, despite having scoured every inch the floor on my hands and knees(much to the amusement of my beautiful bride) all I could find is a lot of ugliness that generated a serious compulsion to vacuum. Apparently I didn't do a very good job or the time space continuum :zen isn't all it's cracked up to be cuase I find this :woohoo:

imbedded in the heel of my foot later on in the day

Yes it is......on it's 3rd paint job...I plan on getting it right eventualy :dance

Shirley Jeff will not be amused with the inference implied with this particular usage of his identity

Not to worry Tim, Bob has quite a knack for renaming his members of this forum. :geek

Sorry Tim....and don't call me Shirley..

Glad you found the tail wheel, could have been worse, you could have sat on it.

 

[nsmekanik]

Could have been worse, you could have sat on it.

Had that been the case I'm fairly certain that the event would have rendered it completely unrecognizable..............

I might be but my models certianly aren't

 

[nsmekanik]

A while ago I received an airbrush as a gift from our very own Mr. Paul W.......

Thanks Paul .
Well this old girls been around the block a few times, and if I have got the story straight it was probably a demo model at one time or another. I've always wanted a good gravity feed airbrush to help do those mottles we all know and luv so much, but i just haven't built anything in a while that has really been in need of seriously fine paintwork and that damned 155 is such a bad habit that I am loath to reach for another even though it really is need of a little Badger luvin.

The 155 really is no slouch when it come to fine lines and the like,

but as it's a syphon feed getting the line started without a splatter is a bit problematic sssssooooooooo..........here we go Paul this ones for you.

I need to practice a bit more I think as no improvement over the 155 as of yet more becuase I haven't done this in years and it's my first attempt at mottling with WEM paints. I'm having difficulty with them as I'm getting a pebbly finish so needless to say I didn't get as fine a spray as I would have liked. Any advice on thinning them would be appreciated, at the moment I'm trying MM thinner and Lacquer thinner.

 

[Adam]

Yes Tim they need thinned a LOT more than say MM enamels or the like. The paint is really thick out of the little tin. I've had good luck thinning them with lacquer thinner. For mottling I would start at about 60% thinner to paint and might go as high as 75%. It just all depends.

Glad you found the tail wheel, could have been worse, you could have sat on it.

gives a whole new meaning to "tail wheel" !!!

nice going Tim !!

 

[Sherman 18]

Now the airbrush can make lines!

 

[Paulw]

well Tim I was more than happy to send it out to you. You see when I first had it it did a TA 152 but a 190D is close enough.
