  1. Pulling up a chair to watch this work. Thanks for sharing.
  2. Coming along just great, Denis. Busy boat, you have.
  3. I think you'll find you want to use the .5 mm needle for acrylics. They have larger paint particles than solvents, but you and your family will appreciate the lack of odors from spraying the solvent based paint. Kurt's booklet is excellent, as are the videos Ron T bookmarked for you. All I can add is practice with whatever brush you purchase.
  4. It was easier for me to tell folks I was an F-4 pilot than explain what the blue blazes I did in the back seat of said beast. Did you ever touch the flight controls in the cockpit and attempt to fly the bird?
  5. OC, your skewed placement of the farm buildings will look good. The KGL lads look good, so the Rifles will be in good company, too.
  6. OC, I like your dio at a slant. Looks better than the straight away version; better visual interest.
  7. Another trick for snipping small parts off their sprues is to do that inside a large, clear plastic bag. May want to "liberate" one of the large Ziploc or similar bags from the pantry.
  8. Ron, some good ideas for ensuring flatness. I've been fortunate to have a friend who repaired copiers/printers once upon a time. He gave me some of the glass plates from the tops of these machines. They're flat plate glass and the edges are protected. I keep one for gluing various sand paper grits to and use the other as a build board, if I don't need to pin parts.
  9. Don't stint yourself. You've got a great build going here. Keep on truckin'.
  10. Denis, the resin dust can be irritating, so mask up if you're sanding. I know, just what you don't want to be doing, but the stuff can bother your respiratory tract. The boat is coming along well.
  11. Outstanding news, OC. Well above and beyond the norm. Now it will be done correctly. 👍
  12. Two's in for you, bud. Real spindly looking critters. Gonna be fun, I think
  13. Yep, that's the best Well Done you can get.
  14. What a bummer, OC. I'd have had a few choice words about his lackadaisical manner of delivery. Fragile-smagile.
  15. We have several gas fired heaters at the Hendersonville, NC train depot. Very similar in appearance, and keep that drafty old barn of a depot pretty warm when they get cranked up. Great detail, Gary.
  16. The metal trucks are old Cape Line die cast trucks. Those molds may be ancient. They look OK, but don't roll real well. But, they may be the only one making a particular style of truck. Don't know if Rapido makes trucks for your vintage cars, Andy.
  17. Superb job on this gem. Thanks for sharing your work.
