Here is a quick update, then back to cleaning up the mess. Any time I do machining, I end up with a bunch of aluminum trash and what almost amounts to shiny glitter. If not careful it ends up all over the house. Once the mess is cleaned up I will have to get on to other things...

Yeah too many of the pre done paint racks take up too much desk space and don't hold enough paint. That is why I built my own and they have a 5 -6 inch deep base and are 24+ wide and quite tall.

I know, was just giving some insight and things to think about as I have built 3 paint racks.

Looking good Tim! I had one of those "run all the time" compressors years ago. It always ran hot and finally threw the rod for the piston and became junk. Went through several more variations and finally just bit the bullet and did a search for a small quiet tank airbrush compressor. Found a...

Hey Bob, I built mine out of acrylic that I bought at the hardware box store. The best one I did was for the Vallejo paints, and it gets used a LOT. Things to consider: Being able to see/ read the color of and/or on the bottles Basic strength. A lot of bottles on it will make it heavy. My...

I also can supply defunct watch mainsprings. They can be brittle, but heat them real good (till they start to glow) over a candle flame and they will bend quite well and actually be springy. They are some steel alloy and can be quite strong for what they are. Just PM me if you want some.

I finally found a place that had some H&S parts "IN STOCK". Coast Airbrush supply in CA (of course it HAD to be out in loony land) Anyway they had the parts so I ordered plenty.

@jknaus Don't feel bad James. I just did a BIG order from Andy's with 1/16th figures and some tank and jeep goodies and bundles. I justified it all as it isn't a new kit as such but support stuff for existing kits. Figured it would be wise to get the figures and such while he had them in...

Too bad we can't have an impromptu chat while you work in the evenings or on weekends if anyone is on and interested. Not a formal get together video chat, but more informal if anyone is on and interested.

We have been having a little rain here in Memphis. It's kind of getting the grass to grow, but all it is really doing is making the weeds grow.

Well Rich I guess it is still "Stay home and model" time.

Looking really good Gary!

I worked on one of those drafting tables for many years.

Famous last words. :wow:

Of course this will be all covered up with whatever in short order. It's the nature of flat surfaces in a hobby environment.
