Vallejo or AK air "Should" work. It is the flow improver in airbrush paints that allows it break tension and release. Adding flow improver to a medium or fluid viscosity paint should also work. However, there are paint refills for Molotow paint markers that are specifically designed to do just...

Thanks for the belly laugh Tim, you frikken genius you! I am still chuckling over it...

no no no...we want to see the model...not your reference photos! No kidding, I had to go back after about 6 pictures because I thought they were your reference of the real things but realized...hey, wait a minute. WHAT? This is flipping witchcraft! and it's not fair to the rest of us :notworthy

I had to read to find the name of this ship as it looked familiar. Fun fact, my ship, the USS Canopus (AS-34), relieved the Simon Lake in Kings Bay GA in 1985. I was part of the ship's company (did not work on subs...well...once I did) as an IC5. I stayed on the Canopus until discharged in 1987...

It looks great to me!

L. O. V. E it!! Holy Moly, that is brilliant 🤩

It's only a flesh wound Bob!

You've definitely got it down to a science! I am looking at my stash to see what I can try this on 🤩

Well, you got a literal out loud gasp from me when I saw the photos. That thing looks like actual metal!

@Cheyenne that goes in my bag of tricks! Thank you 🤩

Alright, spill it. How did you get the excellent affect on the chassis? Inquiring minds want to know! This whole project has been fascinating

I like it. It looks interesting and not just blah flat yellow

Every time I prime the pieces on the sprues I say I will never do it again...then I do it again, every time. What is wrong with me!?:bang head I DID minimize future clean-up by cutting away most attachment points and ejection pins then cleaning the (minimal) mold edges. I am not sure you can...

As of today it is not available for me to order yet. I can pre-order though. I have this and the Mustang pre ordered

Same...but still...

Red Sonja, She Devil With A Sword. From Conan's world and the land of Hyrkania. 3D printed by me on Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra 16K. Great printer BTW. The STL files are from VX Labs. I believe the person who sculpted it is named Megha. I painted Sonja mostly in acrylics with some oil paint details. I...

Hey Paul, mom has her moments. Thanks for asking about her. It is a trial for me for sure as I am not a caregiver by nature. I am hanging in there. Getting back to modeling hopefully can help.

haha, yeah, that was just showing what I had to work on while I waited for the MRAP model to come in, but didn't want to start a thread on it. Good things. The Camaro kit is in its box on a high shelf...

Front brake lines. I used .010 fly tying lead wire I added the aluminum (I guess) pieces to the engine. One of the pipes on the passenger side was too short so I used .062 solder wire with pieces of orange wire casing for the couplings. I obviously have some weathering to do on the yellow part.

Rear brake lines. The fittings may be out of scale but it is a decent look (IMO anyway). Now in to the front lines!
