All Righty ... What are you doing today ?

After 12 hrs of driving and 860 miles, with an overnighter, Aimee and I arrived in Wyoming for some well needed R&R. Only plans for the week we have so far is some trout fishing in the Big Horn Mountains and maybe a round of Golf. We already visited Fort Phil Kearney and Custer's Battlefield last year when we were here. Initially we looked into going to Cody, WY for a cpl days but we decided with gas, hotel, food and museum fees that it was to expensive. Maybe another time.

Went to open several bottles of paint today...

JUST KILL ME! :bang head :bang head :bang head

Stuff I seldom use is perfectly fine, stuff I need is shot... of course! :vmad

Hmmm.... Wednesday looks to be the earliest I can get to the LHS...

Don't want to say it, but some of these bottles are 10 years old... Damn, they just don't make paint like they used to!

Hi Barney. The old Humbrols kept very well. Mater of fact I still have some and they are quite usable.

The newer ones, not as well. As for the enamel MM. paints they have never kept for me if I opened them twice :vmad I've been told there is a way to make them keep but in my mind the top it comes in with should be sufficient :coolio

I never had a bottle of Tamiya or Gunze go bad on me and I've had some of the Gunze's for many years.

Depending which Vallejo's you use ( and how you use them ), you might need some MM acrylic thinner to thin them out a bit.

Do you airbrush or hand paint ? It migh be time to convert to Acrylics . :tomato

Ditto on the 30 years . Don't believe the new ones will fare as well after they have been opened though. A real shame that their product has gone so far downhill .

Shalom to you Peter !

I tried acrylics.. the only ones I seem to have any luck with are Agama from Poland... of all places... I get them from Jadar Hobbies....

I love my Vallejo paints. When I brush paint with them I use a little Liquitex flow-aid to thin them down.

We are planting a new Anglican Church here in Lakewood. Carol is the treasurer and I am Chief dog robber... Today, I replaced the 9 year old laptop we had inherited with a refurb... and spent 71 minutes talking to Skip and Pam at Windows7 Tech Support. The Product key for this computer was invalid and it took me that long to convince them I wasn't trying to get a good code for a pirated product.

Have I mentioned how much I hate Micosoft Tech Support?

Picked up the latest issue of Fine Scale Modeler the other day. While flipping through it I saw something that looked somewhat familiar. Seems that they published a photo I sent in of a Tamiya Zero I built and submitted like a year and a half ago. I completely forgot about sending it in. Also didn't realize that they pay you for them :yipee :yipee :yipee Free modeling cash :D

Congrats Ryan! Personally I think Fine Scale doesn't publish enough photos, especially given how many pics they shoot at Nationals and other shows. In 2007 they left their "We want to photograph your model" card on six of my models at the Nationals. So, I took them over and had them shot. Not one of those pics ever made it into the mag. So, buy a lottery ticket, you just won a lottery! :eek:hyeah (y)

Now, what did you buy with that cash and when are you gonna get it built?! :good:

Also, Barney: Which state is Lakewood in? There's a Lakewood here in Southern California. If you're here, maybe we can get together sometime.
