Being able to see the colors, and/or labels is why I built my paint racks out of acrylic. The one with the Vallejo paints is perfect as it is only about 5 inches deep, but quite wide and tall. It is loaded with paint now and works quite well. The paint fumes get sucked out by my home made...

I love it! Leave it to Saúl to get to the bottom of the story.

Cool! I am going to have to delve into the world of Blender myself here real soon. My CNC unit should show up here soon. They are shipping the basic units already and the enhanced Ball bearing leadscrew version that I got is just now starting to ship. I was never really worried about this...

Glad you are doing better Barney and that you have not censored us out as well. I have been doing radiation therapy on my left thigh to (hopefully) prevent any reoccurrence of the fatty tumor that has been coming back and required 4 surgeries since 2012. I have to go in for 33 treatments. One...

I get it Paddy. Been there and done that. My one big FUBAR happened years ago. I was fairly new at an electronics company as a draftsman. They had me doing all kinds of stuff including artwork for silkscreens for commercial equipment. This was at the beginning of the home satellite receiver...

Keep on it Paddy! After doing such fabulous work on that engine, don't let a little thing like missing parts get you down.

After skim reading through the article, it turns out the plane was built for the movie "Those Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines". It also only flew at about 45 miles an hour.

Nothing a little sheet plastic, a knife, a couple of small escapement files and sandpaper couldn't do in an afternoon.

looking really good Tim! Yeah those many part assemblies are a bit of a pain. The 1/16th 234 Puma I have has two different style sets of suspension. One set which is tons of tiny parts and a second set that has the part count reduced by a large amount. Yeah, guess which one I will be doing...

Yeah, they have upgraded to Win 11 at work on some micro PC's. So far I hate dealing with it. MS is also pestering me on my PC about upgrading, and that kind of stuff really needs to be shut down. Supposedly with the software that the CNC machine is coming with, I can use STL files to...

@Sharkmouth Yeah, computer issues are a pain, and with all the Win 11 detriments and spy garbage they have built into It, I am now leaning toward moving to Linux. Am so tired of micro :poop: stuffing garbage down my throat. Lenovo has gone to Linux for their default loaded OS. If you want the...

You can never have enough storage. I have one old crystal cabinet that is on my bench that holds tools and small stuff. Then I have some tall crystal cabinets in another room that are storage for all kinds of stuff as they have taller drawers.

Holy crap Saúl! I had a memory card go bad on me at one point where I couldn't write to it, but it was still readable. What brand of drive is it? I only use Samsung drives and have had no problems with them so far. (knock wood) Have 5 drives in my machine. Two were originally set up as RAID...

I just have VERY sharp jewelers gravers and knives.

What actually bumped me to get the Reskit parts was they had the Boxes for the engine exhaust for the Mi-24 Hind. So I got the Hind parts and the CH-54 parts. Missed the tail rotor for the 54, so will probably order it at a later time with something else.
