Good lord man! That is so realistic. Your skills are amazing. I just sit in awe looking at your models. When I was told you usually throw them away I was stunned. It physically hurt my heart to know that! I am SO glad you have found an outlet for someone to enjoy these masterpieces.

Really looking forward to this one. I am a sucker for this level of detail! F-16's are fantastic planes and one of my favorite builds.

I agree, it looks good to me. Neat and tidy!

I have tried that too. It seems to work about the same to me and the airbrush needle is easier to keep up with than a needle needle in my chaotic work space. I may try it again and insert it in an eraser stick to give it a find-able handle.

I am using the tip of a messed up airbrush needle, so it is sparingly applied. I have tried putting it on one piece, then the other, then both. The ladders work because I can lay the piece sideways and gravity holds it in place until the glue sets. I am using BSI (Bob Smith Industries) brand. I...

As you can see my PE skills have not improved. I am going to the hardware store to see if I can find some Loctite brand CA glue. I would put superglue on the piece and hold it in place for a 25 or 30 count then let go and the piece would fall off. After ten times the superglue would have a...

It was exciting to see you and Bruce take home hardware also. Modelers Alliance made a good showing I think!

I am trying to keep her "clean" but still make it "interesting". The wood deck parts are pretty much done I think. I continued using Golden High Flow colors to paint the wood but added some extra colors to the previous mix. In the end I had Titanium White, Titanium Buff, Raw Sienna, Transparent...

This is a great idea! I won't hollow out the tiny car parts but for larger figures I can see this as a smart move for curing the innards.

There were some excellent models on display! I am extremely pleased with my gold medal for Mineko, as she is my first ever show entry. I did not expect my other two entries to do much, but had hopes for her. I am worn out from six hours of riding LOL. It was an almost last minute decision to go...

Thank you! I wish the photos were better though; he looks better in person. Painting figures got easier for me when I started using oil paint instead of acrylic. It is infinitely easier to use for painting figures.

PS: the parts came for my printer and I have them installed, but don't have any more resin to test print. But step one is done!

Master Cylinder: It's getting easier to make these! Thank goodness LOL

Brake Booster. I am going to make it in two parts, well three. 1 is just the Brake Booster as you see it here. 2 will be master cylinder alone. 3 will be the two parts combined.

It's not a dumb question and one I ask as well. Why were there EVER wood decks on any metal ship??
