  1. With Vallejo I thin even the Model Air. I'd rather spray an additional layer than having to unclogg the brush. Tamiya I thin down 50%, same reason. I only use the brand's thinner. I am still working out how I can spray lifecolour, since I can't get it to work properly with my brush H&S or Black Bull both gravity brushes
  2. 200 shouldn't be an error but success in browser responses. Must be something else Steve. Something for the nerds to solve. maybe rights on the filesystem after an update or so ... Would miss your rants though
  3. DKM Graf Zepplin, definitely. Not much German ships, and most German builds are either Scharnhorst or Tirpitz.
  4. That's a quicky, mate. If you want to touch up brasswhich has been added to your build you might want to use Liquid Surface Primer from Tamiya to cover the brass first and then add the colour. I like the stern part of the ship, there is quite a lot to see.
  5. sorry Jules, I need that for the byrnes thickness sander and gov'ment taxes
  6. On top of your car's dashboard ... might come in handy in traffic jams ... Looks far more crisp than the first one. Practice ...
  7. ... and hope behind and in front there never will be friendlies ...
  8. I'm wondering how you can keep all those lines apart ... it would turn me crazy (fortunately that has already been done in other ways)
  9. Thanks Sam. Hmmm ... yes those quads would have made her look top heavy ... lucky I didn't get the octuple ones ... she would be hangin upside down. At least I've got a valid excuse to buy another appropriate build. It would be a waste to have those quads laying about, now wouldn't it ...
  10. Amalio sends in the cleaning crew before he opens the photo studio. marvelous work, which isn't usual, although, it may seem that way since your standard has been high all along
  11. It seems to me you just wanted to start with the fun part. Magnificent. You know that now you have to make your build look as much beat up as your lamp
  12. The funnel colour ...most probably a light grey, something like "off white" And I thought it was a cover up ...
  13. *** E.J. wrote. The brass really make the different parts come out instead of dissolving in the general blue-ish/grey background. Beautiful model
  14. I know the feeling, the most important reason I do not celebrate my birthday, I lost a close friend that day whom got shot for the keys of his second hand car. It's so useless, and, although, people say life goes on, which is true, it can be quite joyless, at least for a while. Besides, everyone needs time to learn how to give such pain a place, possibly without forgetting. Eventually you'll pick life up where you left off ... it doesn't make it any easier to deal with. My sincere condolences ... I wish you strenght and the wisdom to cope with it, and hope she shall remain in your memories as the person she was to you.
  15. Steven, I would have expected the deck of the raised forecastle to be more horizontal, especially if some fluid would leak on the now raised deck, it would run aft, which doesn't sound to logical, and somewhat perilous.
  16. Impeccable, a real feat to create such a life like example of the lamp at such scale .... When soldering such moving items at this size, wouldn't it be easier to use GAW's resistance soldering method as he uses on his full metall models? A further question springs to mind: Did you use a slightly oversized wire for the rotating tab's locking "tube". If not, wouldn't that make it harder to enter the locking wire?
  17. Most pacific camouflage is quite boring I found. When I look at the destroyers from the RN, RCN, RAN, and RNZN it's mostly more singel shades of blue/greyish-blue. Thorough paint job, Jack. Did you draw the patern on the hull, or use masking tape?
  18. Sorry to hear you are having health issues. Hope you'll get better soon
