Re: F1 Race in Miami Florida in 2022

Did anyone attend the race? I didn't go and I'm 5 hours away. My wife and I agreed to make a date of it in 2023 but then I saw the average ticket price was $2,400. Screw that! I don't like Miami anyway.

Re: Benetton B195 Academy

Very impressive! I might have this kit somewhere in my closet. After seeing the effort and skill it took to achieve your result it is going to stay hidden!

Re: Your primer preferences?

I'm a bit strapped for cash right now so I tried decanting an older can of automotive etching primer and used it on a 1/43 white metal body. Ewwww, gross! It came out green and lumpy. Thankfully, a thinner bath fixes all white metal paint issues so it was good as new shortly after. I sprayed the tin...

Your primer preferences?

I'm sure that all of you have experienced issues with obtaining supplies given the pandemic, political unrest, alien visitations, etc. Zero paints have been especially difficult for me to obtain without paying unholy shipping fees and as a result I'm now facing two repaints because mixing and matchi...

I love it, very well done! I especially like that you've included the "Big Mo" figure.

Re: Has anybody ever seen one of these?

The absolute last thing in the world that I need is a 1/4 scale model of anything so of course I want one now.

Re: First attempt at 1/43 - Benetton B191b - Martin Brundle

...! I don’t understand why they aren’t more popular.
Fat fingers and poor vision are my excuses. :) I have been thinking about having another go with them, though. Nice looking build!

Re: The Idiot's Guide to Airbrushing for Newbs

Thank you all for the positive comments! This is the 3M respirator that I recently purchased and I am very happy with. It is comfortable with eyeglasses and the drop down option is nice so that you don't have to remove the whole thing if you leave the area for a moment. The filter cartridges need to...

The Idiot's Guide to Airbrushing for Newbs

Edit: I modified my endorsement of cordless airbrushes. I'm the idiot in question. :) This is my hard-earned airbrush advice for newbs. I suck at anything requiring a delicate hand. I always have. I can build practically anything but it won’t look like what a true craftsman can produce. That’s my l...

Re: mc laren mp 4/6scale 1/12

I was thinking that maybe I'm ready to start tackling mine but after seeing your work the answer is "Nope! Not yet." :)
