    However, there is no direct conversion suggestion from named Floquil colours.

    It doesn't specifically list AK but does match to Vallejo paints which should help convert Vallejo to AK

    Sanding sticks/pads.   Or 

     

    SANDING-WAND-SET

     

     

    I have the sanding twig set and the sanding wand set plus a set of flexible approx 1 inch square rubber sanding pad of grits from 3200 to 12000. I think I got the latter from Lee Valley

  3. USLSS : The United States Life-Saving Service was a United States government agency that grew out of private and local humanitarian efforts to save the lives of shipwrecked mariners and passengers. It began in 1848 and ultimately merged with the Revenue Cutter Service to form the United States Coast Guard in 1915.

     

    Nice model drawing! Are you going to do a Build Log of her? That would be a very interesting build. 

  4. Yea, today an IBM System/Z mainframe can run 24/7/365 for something like a century, maybe longer - I forget,  without total mainframe failure. If a component does fail, the millecode/microcode and Operating System isolate the component, take it offline, dynamically reconfigure, and dynamically "phone home" with the FRU number of the part the Field Engineer needs to bring to fix the machine.  And all the while the system keeps right on running processing credit card transactions or whatever without skipping a beat.

    Let's not hijack Rik's build log !
