  1. And the old Air France dolphin livery gives every ugly bucket an idea of grace and beauty
  2. Short C-Class/Empire Ain't gonna happen, but nonetheless
  3. A dark Lord of the Sith going after you with his wicker if you don't behave! Naw, actually one of our 'Bufdis', a guy serving a year of volunteer social service in our house after school in his disguise as Knecht Ruprecht . A ton of black theatre make up, I think he's still scrubbing his face
  4. I'm certain, when the job is done, he's happy to accept your Porsche... ...maybe you should consult him in time for equipment and finish details
  5. Wow! Haven't been here in a while and just read this one back. Very educational and inspiring. Makes me want to get back to two ideas I stored in the back of my head on a similar scenes, though they might be a bit to ambitious for the beginning. Now I'd like to see how that continues
  6. Never ever return thinned paint into your jar/pot/container/... It might start to gel up and render your paint useless in the end. Made that experience with Mr Hobby, Revell acrylics, Extracolor. Not sure with MM, the reason there could be their crappy lids. For transfering, I usually use an old, bent airbrush needle. I run through quite some of them...
  7. I like to pretend that as long as I turn my back at the shelf behind me, its not an issue... ...oh wait, there's a shelf in front of me, and one to the left, and another one to the right...
  8. While smaller airframes like the '109 come indeed in those pesky side opening boxes, Revell's big scale bombers and the larger jets come in a box with a lid. Not as sturdy as Trumpy's boxes, though.
  9. I have no doubt about that, having seen two M2 kits in person and having heard from the one or other guy who were lucky surviving building one...
  10. If it wasn't for the vortex generators, a 1/32 Javelin could also serve well as an ironing board or counter top...
  11. Yeah, I'm surprised, too. It's been a while Navy aircraft were blue...
  12. Would like to try them (I like to try anything I can get my hands on, actually), but I can't get any MM products besides the standard enamel range anymore. I loved their acrylics, but as said, I don't have any source here. But indeed, glossy acrylics, especially clears usually give me a hard time, too...
  13. I read about Tamiya acrylics with laquer thinners long ago, but my last try was one heck of a mess. Yet, I read that story again and I decided to give it another try tonight, and woohoo! Just came back from my modelling table and even though my thinner here is the usual hardware store stuff and thus surely not the mildest option, it went down super smooth and troublefree. Finally I can really use all the Tamiya bottles I aqcuired over the years and are definitely not cheap, but tried to avoid, because they behaved like poo in my airbrush. Many thanks, guys!
