I have not had too much of an issue with the paint, but the glue was a whole different story. I have an Ambroid Pro Weld bottle and a bottle that was filled with Zip Kicker. They were both the same size and fit perfectly into these plastic connectors I found at Lowe's. I added a small wad of...

There are some PE micro versions of the frames in 1/72nd and 1/48th, but they are so-so at best. The ones I have seen built usually have issues with keeping the PE straight and unbent, so nah.

There were maybe a handful I could not relate to or understand, but most I got fully. Been around way too many ex military including my brother who was in Airborne in Italy back in the early 90's. He was always the ornery one that would come up with the odd ideas to pull, and usually could...

I could see what you were doing for the mesh texture, and that kind of shows what you did. I get it. A while back I bought the blender book that James got. I tried to get into it, but the damn book was starting off with Cameras and views, and all that basic "Make a scene" crap. After a bit...

Shouldn't the insulators for the wires be ceramic looking? Other than that, Oh My!

As to the plastic tube, maybe black and dark green with sea weed around it and hiding it.

I think James got the cutter to remove the 3D print supports quicker and easier without breaking the parts. I have been using the heck out of the special parts cutter I bought a short while back. It still cuts through plastic sprue, gates, and plastic whatever, like butter. I have been very...

OK, what did you do to get the texture on the radiator core Greg? I get the assemblies for the "parts", but have not seen anything where someone explains how to get the texturing on the solid object so it can print out. As to the mods Greg, the more care you take with accuracy on the scratch...

Sorry to see the paint spill Bob. It always hurts when there is a waste like that. At least it wasn't all over the build so that is at least the other thing that could have happened.

@Greg Kimsey You have to take care of your mom Greg. We were glad that you were able to show up even for a little bit.

Here are a couple of photos of Jef V's 1/16th M3 half track. O-M-G!!!

Don't ya just hate that! Now to solve that problem. Aluminum tubing isn't a possible solution either what with the bends. It will be interesting to see how you proceed with this Paddy.

I now have a BIG M10 on the shelf for down the road. I am enjoying the big armor builds.

Cool Andy! I want to see how you finish him up.

The deicers were rubber and mostly were a semi gloss to gloss. If they ended up dead flat, it probably meant that they were ready to "not work properly" due to the rubber breaking down. Yes, the Connie is a very large aircraft. Not sure but I think it is larger than a B-29. One of the...
