I have the book on the way, but I agree Pup, the camera was there for the shot, why would it be on this side of the tents if they weren't supposed to be in the frame. Besides, I think if you're bringing down one of those, you've got the area well marked off. It's not like it was Ed Wood...

I forgot this, I looked into it a while back and the numbers 500-1500 correspond to the material used, I can't for the life of me remember what is was, so I was going to get some a try to make my own acrylic based stuff at home, mixing it as needed. I do that with bronze dust and microballoons...

Thanks Mike. I found that place earlier and spent a long time looking around. I do have the same length as their shortest on hand, but theirs might be finer. I put a bunch of stuff into the cart, but for some reason the base rate shipping of $11 bugged me for a few ounces of material. I'd be...

I'm with you here. I'd love to use it, AlClad and a whole host of other stuff that I just can't bring myself to use. Not that I'm question you guys in any way, I could only get back into modeling using zero to very low VOC stuff for health reasons. Even though I have serious ventilation, I...

I don't on hand, not sure if there is. That's probably what's bothering me, it'd be perfect as mowed grass in like 1/16. I was thinking longer so it'd be more like wheat or something I guess instead of grass. I see a search in my future...

I have the new 1/48 HK B-17 on order. I want to go belly landed, damaged dio. Full Shep Paine homage. When I got the Monogram version as a kid, I wanted to do that so bad, I actually spent hours with an old rusty hand saw cutting wood just to make saw dust. Imagine my reaction when I went with...

Just ordered it used in fine condition from Abebooks for $20.

I forgot about this: I was a big Montreal Canadiens fan growing up (and in my 30s too) and part of the playoff folklore was they skipped a practice and went to see the film as a team when it was in the theater. I don't remember the series, but found they entire thing online that'll I'll work my...

I've been reading Masters Of the Air, a phenomenal book about the 8th Air Force. It mentions the authors of Twelve O'Clock High since they were there in the thick of it and it got me to go back and watch the film. I hadn't seen it in years, I watched it whenever it was on TV, but I remember...

That is wild. I just watched Twelve O'clock High yesterday. Nice work John.

That is similar to the Aurora story compressed into a few year's time. Actually, once I read CEO, I knew where it was going. It may work with distribution, etc. but small boutique type manufacturers suffer with too much management. Aurora was three guys, they fought, had different views, but...

Yep, that's a recast.

Looks like prices went up since I bought, a trip zero is $10. May be demand as well. Looks like the restock is soon though: https://www.dickblick.com/products/winsor-and-newton-series-7-kolinsky-sable-brushes/ You can 10% orders and a bunch of other stuff is you look for promo codes. Keep in...

Oh yeah, I loved the video. Made me appreciate them even more. Theres something so admirable about craftspeople like that at the top of their game. Even though the ones I buy are probably the discarded hairs from those beauties or maybe even made by apprentices, I don't know, but I do know...

I've bought more kits and modeling stuff in the past 6 weeks that the last 6 years I think. I single handedly stimulated a couple of economies, especially NH's Scalehobbyist and TX's Half Price Books.

Saw that. Keep in mind those are big ass ones. I use only their Series 7 for miniatures and the triple zero I used on the 1/35 eye that's my Avatar was $8 from Dick Blick. Being that I have never spent more that $15 on one and the ones I have that are well over a decade old are still perfect...

Wow.

Another winner John. I finally got the book and you inspired me to get a kit. I was going to get a few Fine Molds, but then I came across Wingsy and the reviews were good. I ordered it from the Ukraine, so we'll see how long it'll be but I'll build it as I read. I opted for this:

I voted yes, but I haven't done any type of instructional video before and am not sure how well I could pull one off. I'd love to do something of figure painting, just not sure if I can get it together enough.

What a great piece!
