  1. It required , partially, changing the font size used on my kindle fire tablet. The problem hasn't been solved as things pasted from internet sources come out in large font. I have a feeling that this problem is very specific.
  2. My last use i cut 40 masks, worked perfectly..... I noticed that the cutter did not stay in place every time when lifting the cutter while the blade was still in the material I was cutting..... Perhaps the blade was sticking to the adhesive on the backside of the vinyl I was cutting and it was pulled out as opposed to falling out?
  3. It should be inside the adjustment spring...looking from above you should See it as a silver disc....Early examples of this cutter required assembly and I believe 2 of these magnets were provided.
  4. The magnet is in the holder....Even with the magnet the cutter sometimes falls out..
  5. Grape seed oil. Applied with a cotton swab.
  6. Tried something different.... It seems to work.
  7. No, tried that.....still comes out huge despite size of source font.
  8. Hey, looks like a great kit! Nice work so far.....will be watching.
  9. Amazing detail and painting skills!
  10. It's the angle of the firewall that's not right is what I heard....I did buy a aftermarket firewall that's supposed to fix the problem, but I'm not convinced. We'll see. The replacement firewall/wheelwell was made by Master Details....but I read that even that has issues. https://www.largescaleplanes.com/reviews/review.php?rid=2354
  11. A trip to my local Ace Hardware resulted in this purchase...... Tamiya's Grumman F4F-4 Wildcat (61034) in 1/48. Not armor, or large-scale......but ,still a nice little kit. I have a couple of the 1/32 Trumpy kits of this.....but I know this will be a smaller , Yet less frustrating build.
  12. I too have hoped fo a large-scale early model Sherman.....I' m guessing That Andy's next release will be a Lee and a Grant, which will be cool. He stated; that he will be announcing an american and a British tanks and they won't be a sherman. A Lee, American....change the turret, A Grant, British.
  13. I have somewhere between 120-130 kits in my stash.....seeing that some of you have about 300 kits, I don't feel that bad now. I now think that I'll mark 300 as a goal...then stop...Yes, that sounds reasonable to me,... Don't you think? Yes,.....that's what I'll do...not crazy at all.
  14. I just moved a lot of model kits out of a bedroom closet to do some cleaning. I now , temporarily, have a tower of model kits in my living room....and that's only about half of my stash......I buy too many kits.....I think, ....I'm not well. I wish I had a wife to tell me to stop!
  15. Looks like a great subject. I like the big scale kits....I had a look at the big Trumpy SU-100 in my stash...may build it soon.
  16. As you well know, I like to use the signature function to add literature quotes to my posts.....it's just something I enjoy doing. Lately, I've been unable to do so. When using the paste function, and then pressing save....the quote appears in a larger font than previously, and it has made adding signatures nearly impossible! Why the change? Any attempt to use the size function to change this has not been possible....Why? Paul
  17. Love the Kingfisher.....yours, ...coming along nicely! BTW.....some time ago, at another residence....with a pond..saw an actual King fisher diving for food....pretty cool...living there for almost 35 years, witnessed this only once...a pretty cool, early morning Saturday..
  18. Cool, I'd love to get a WNW kit....the only one I think I'd be able to accomplish would be the little Junkers monoplane....or a DVII....without much rigging.... Also ...a bit too expensive.... Oh, I could buy one....but to screw one up....that would be well, heartbreaking!
  19. More on my Tamiya Brummbar build....... So far a trouble free fun build.
  20. Working on Tamiya's Brummbar....this is their 2017 release. The kit has built up great so far, although I still have a ways to go. The upper hull and roof in this picture are not glued in yet.....their fit is just that good. The tracks...although "rubber band" look ok.....I may use them, but last night I remembered I had some T-Rex studio tracks that would work with this kit,.... although those near microscopic resin track pins look formidable.... And fragile.
  21. I've had no problems with Tamiya decals lately.. The last few tamiya kits I have built they were just fine. They responded well to the decal solution I use....Walther's Solvaset.
  22. Looking great Peter!......Thinking of starting a Tamiya kit this weekend. Looking at their Late Brummbar..... Well, I literally have a closet full of Tamiya kits...The Brummbar has been calling to me. I'll be following... Thanks.
  23. A couple of minor items today..... First, from Tamiya, is their TAM 12666 1/35 Tamiya Panther Ausf D Photo-Etched Grille Set. For the Panther kit I got recently. Also, from Eduard; EDUEX666 1/48 Mask P-38F P-38G Lightning (TAM kit) for the Tamiya P-38 I got recently.
