You know John that there are a couple of companies that build LARGE metal radio control tanks that are only a bit smaller than your Tiger I in the photo. Those tanks weigh in at a couple hundred pounds each.

Remember he has been doing this stuff for quite a while and like many of us we do things "just because we do it that way" Mostly out of habit. If he does something you want to learn, I am sure Ian will be glad to try and help as most of us are.

As Bob (moon puppy) said, you just need a simple app for photo stuff. Someplace in the tools is one called resize. Most of mine have that under Edit. When you select that it will give you a box for horizontal and a box for vertical. Usually all you need to do is enter a number (1280 for...

Hey Saúl, I can say with honesty that I am interested in the 1/16th stuff unless Tim has a use for any. I have more than a handful at this point, and a couple more coming soon.

Dude looks great John. Let's see the next one.

You guessed it! Though it is not the only place where stuff like that takes place. Any more I really try to vet where things I am buying are being shipped from. Some places, like Poland, or Czech Republic, or occasionally Ukraine, I have no problem.

I always resize my photos to no more than 1280x 960. That will show to a max size on the site and keeps the file size in the 300k range. Anything larger is a waste as the photo will only show to a max number of pixels online. By having smaller resolution files they don't clog up the downloads...

There is another thing that you have not taken into account. As I have been a bit involved with the resin figure hobby for a number of years, there is a segment that steals by recasting limited edition figures. Sometime they are good quality, though mostly not so much. The problem is that the...

I did manage a little work last weekend and earlier in the week even with the 12 inch incision in my left thigh. Can't just sit around and do nothing. (drives me crazy) During the Zoom meeting I did this part. Drilling through the large hinges was easy as they are about 1mm diameter. Just...

@jknaus I have to go along with Ian on the RT-Dio kits. They look good and could make for some nice fill on dios.

Very good! The added camo adds a lot more interest to the build.

Welcome Mikolaj! Always enjoy seeing new work. That is an interesting boat, tell us a little about it.

That as well. We are seeing the sheeple doing all kinds of crazy illegal stuff here in the states and I am sure it is going to end up with a big flip on them before too long.

He is looking really good John!

Yupa, 'Dey be quite problematicated!

That's the one I met you guys at last year. Might not make it either. Have fun and take lots of photos.

Yeah the political correctness and censorship is such a stupid pain in the can.

@jknaus I have the original release on the B-17 as well as the Memphis Belle release. They are nice kits and I have seen a few built up. Yeah bare metal can be a pain, but as I have learned, the better the surface prep and base paint the better the finish. Yeah I have a bit of practice to do...

Since my left leg is still healing up and this is next weekend, no way am I going to try for a long drive anywhere for the next few weeks. It has been a bit over a week since the surgery and while I am better my left thigh is still quite sore and healing. So, maybe next year.
