Watching to see how this turns out. I still have a lot to learn about painting and effects.

I see, said the blind man, when he picked up his hammer, and saw. I like my 3 jaw version. :dance: It holds .013 to .125 with a simple hand tightened chuck and runs true.

I am good with the small bottle that I have. The plus part of that is that I "know" it works. Thanks for the offer Saúl. Maybe Tim could use it?

A good photo can solve a boatload of questions and give solutions for what Paddy is trying to do. His bolt head looks way too large and from the photo above there isn't a bolt head there anyway.

I showed what the USCHI does. It works quite well and gives a fairly realistic looking color. As Saúl stated, if you are using an unknown, test it on something first. Brass being an alloy with usually copper and zinc where bronze is copper and tin. Both bronze and brass may include small...

Figured you would get a laugh. :bigrin: The Nashorn looked good in trying to figure out if they messed up, but it kind of blew me away when I found the surfacing on the hull. Almost every kit has issues as they have to be engineered and molded. Some things can't be worked around due to the...

All resin it seems has an issue with shrinkage. Quite a while back I started the Italeri 1/72 Me323 kit. It had a n issue with the lower outer wing on one side where it was warped beyond use. I had the Gigant glider kit which used the same part, but didn't want to pitch that kit for one part...

I finally got the pre-paid order from Squadron. They finally got the item in stock (it was a new release). I did the order back on April 1. (No, don't go there) (Yet :wow: ) Anyway it showed up yesterday, super fast, 1 day shipping from Squadron! And I have to say I am impressed. Trumpeter...

Instead of doing paint on that brass barrel, use some blackening treatment on it. After soaking for a little while it builds up a flat black coating on the brass. I take it out rinse it off and then gently rub it with a paper towel. That removes the flat black and burnishes the brass to a...

Nothing against Costa Rica, but the markings just look wrong. :bm:

Hope the exam works out just fine James. Arnold is almost easy. I found I could impersonate the Louisiana Senator Kennedy the other night. Then I had trouble getting back out of the slow Southern drawl he speaks. Have not tried it since as I don't want to get stuck that way.

Thanks for the link Saúl! As I have the (now rare) HPH 1/32nd PBY kit this will be a big help with details and structures when I get it built.

The Dremel speed control has a lot more in it than a light, switch, and potentiometer. There is a small circuit board inside which makes the Dremel work really nice. Flex shafts are great for heavy duty stuff, but as you found out the hard way, they can twitch and cause all kinds of issues...

Enjoy James! Hope that the display all goes off without a hitch and that the weather is nice.
