That is some collection. Impressive. I have a few of them including some Im Focus. If you haven't yet, keep an eye out for Clay Blair's two volumes of Hitler's U boat War. He has every single recorded sortie of the war, but very well written, so it's breeze and gives you a real comprehensive...

Apparently compressed air tools go back to 2000BC, but in 1799, Englishman George Medhurst invented the first motorized air compression system that was used primarily in the mining industry. Stanley (the steamer guy) got an airbrush patent in 1876, so maybe steam? Most AB patents just list...

Will do. You need a video just to hear the thing. It's like those whistle rings we had as kids.

I finally gave into my latest obsession, the Paasche Turbo AB. I remember the guy at Pearl in '82 laughing at me a saying 'don't even think about it kid' when i asked about it. Who's laughing now? Theres almost no info on these, they are from the original 1850 design and have been out of...

Nice stuff going on there guys. I'm trying to get the mojo flowing, been a tough summer for bench time, either too hot or just not feeling it. Looked for a quick something to get interest up, so I grabed this little geM: Tammy's Brit Welbike set. Besides the control lines/linkage, rifle strap...

Yikes. I cannot imagine what you are going through. Stay safe.

I still have a lot of leftover Vallejo inventory from about 12 years ago. It's not responsible to sell it, but I've been using for my own stuff all along, especially since I got the iModel kit app years ago to mix anything from on hand colors. These are both MA and MC, have been sitting stored...

It's happened ever since a chimp hit another on the head with a stick. Samurais and 'shiny armor' went away soon after gunpowder started propelling lead. Think WWII where entering the Battleship was still king, then obsolete in a few months. Think of all the technological leaps in those 6...

It amazing how deeply they touch you. Sorry to hear this Barney. 17 is a good run, not that it matters to the pain you feel.

When we bought the house 22 years ago, I eyeballed the walkup attic for a playroom for the kids. By the time I go around to actually doing it, I rediscovered modeling so split it into a bench area for me and playroom for them. Now it's currently just mine, bench on one side, studio on other...

Fantastic.

Finally got a chance to put the new airbrush through it's trial run. I think it's time to retire my Iwatas. I grabbed a Tammy V1, Extra Thin Quick, built and sprayed. I basecoated with the .4mm needle/nozzle, then swapped out for the .15 for the mottling. Sprayed like a dream. Vallejo, very...

Superb.

I was binging the 12 O'Clock High TV series (all episodes on youtube). Watched 'Greyhound' over the weekend. I thought is was well done, typical of a Tom Hanks WWII film. I don't think it would be well received to a general audience since it sort of relies on knowing about the very small slice...

That's fantastic.
