What primer?
Canute replied to Brewerpaul's topic in Painting, finishing and weathering products and techniques
Tamiya Fine Primer in a spray can works well, goes on thin. It has fine size pigment. House paints are coarser, since they're formulated for covering parts of your 1 to 1 scale house. Make sure to mask the vessel so you don't spray paint where you don't want it to go. -
1930 BENTLEY 4.5 LITRE by MadDogMcQ - AIRFIX 1:12th Scale

Like Mark says, looks OK to me. Proceed slowly and keep the glue blobs to a minimum. Enjoy yourself. -
Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Canute replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Yeah, not bad for an air-dale, Hank. Those things go from bag into printer and back. I saw one of my co-workers drop a red cartridge on the floor/deck in our Mission Planning area once upon a time. Took hours of scrubbing to eradicate. Vowed never to do that. -
Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop
Canute replied to Hank's topic in Modeling tools and Workshop Equipment
Oh, my buddy was the only one messing with the copiers. He came into our train club and offered the plate glass only. I think everybody took 2. Changing toner cartridges is as deep as I want to get. -
Converting a Backyard Shed into a Model Workshop

I got 2 pieces of glass from a Xerox tech who had removed them from decommissioned copiers. Good sized glass, so I glued down some sandpaper to one to sand parts. The other is used to square up assemblies while gluing. Cleanups are a single edge razor blade to errant glue blobs. -
Either one would be good. Northern Italy was nice, Germany was fun, too. If he doesn't like it in either, he's spending too much time on base.

Canute replied to Papa's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Yeah, for painting fine lines like canopy glass separators in 1/72 scale, 1 would do. -
Dornier Do-217K-1 by Papa - FINISHED - Revell - 1/72 - PLASTIC
Canute replied to Papa's topic in Non-ship/categorised builds
Coming along nicely. You need a 10/0 brush (I think that's the size), like OC has used. Two bristles. And use under lots of light and magnification. I need frequent breaks, due to concentrating so hard to paint something so fine. -
A long time ago, I was in the 307 Tac Fighter Squadron, flying Phantoms. In Homestead, Florida. Now, it's in Aviano AB, Italy, up north of Venice. That unit has a long and colorful history. Nice work, Javlin.👍

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
