How long was the beard in process?

I used to do sheet metal prototyping by hand with a 30 inch sheer/brake and a drill press. I get it Paddy. I had a part on my Ju87A PE that was bent way past 90° to 150°. This is Eduard PE which generally works quite well. This instance was an odd one that I am sure a lot of folks...

That torso is looking really good Steve! The blending between the shading and highlight parts is very well done!

For those here in the US, we went off Daylight Savings time today, so move your time pieces back an hour.

@Greg Kimsey , @Sharkmouth Something I found while working on the current howitzer build is that the various super small bolt and nut sets with the 1.0mm and smaller don't stay in stock long. I was able to get the larger sets fairly easy. Just a couple three weeks ago I found the Meng Small...

@Sharkmouth I have seen these same items on Temu, and have avoided them. In the plates that I have, 400, 600, 1200, 2200, and 3000, I have used them all. Believe it or not I have used the 1200 about the most. The 400 gets used occasionally for doing odd jobs, along with the 600. The 2200...

Anytime I have had something like that, I either find something to fit the holes, or take a small drill and make the holes fit something that I have. That process works better with pre-planning and making the holes bigger before taking the parts off the sprue.

Your ability to do quick 3D parts in Blender that look really good is astounding Greg!

When I had my leg surgeries and gall bladder surgery, it was in at the crack of dawn, and out by noon. The gall bladder surgery I went home and was going to lay down, that didn't happen was too uncomfortable, so got a blanket and pillow, went out and sprawled sitting up on the couch and zonked...

Different skill sets. Those parts you were trying to work with are just another Tuesday for me at work. Sorry to hear you were having so much trouble with it Paddy. A big Attaboy for giving it a go!

The site still exists, but is basically inert. I have several older Pocher kits, but am not looking forward to dealing with them. Might just go ahead and sell them. I have so many other kits to build that I will probably enjoy more.

Something I have found with mine is that it "seems" to clog, but it is really building up a blob of paint on the needle that sticks out. I take a Q-tip, poke it on the end of the needle, spin it, and pull it back off. Blob is gone and the "clog" is gone. Turns out it isn't internal, as when...

I have notice this morning that this beastie is on the way.

Quite impressive Tim! Keep up the good work!
