Looking good Gus, you would almost need a clean room environment to properly deal with all the dust………one reason the small amount of resin I do can be submerged in a bowl of water………….

Very poor year for me, just one completed. This was the Italeri 1/35 Elco 80' Torpedo Boat PT-596 for the group build. On top of this, almost completed the Tamiya 1/32 Mossie and Eduard A6M2 Zero 1/48 but alas both were not completed. The Elco tops out at 28” or 700mm in length….

First try to replicate castseam. Is this too extreme? Should i make this thinner?
Please comment.
I reckon that looks pretty good, scale is right………still can’t get over the lack of detail you get at this scale. This going to look amazing when you have added your magic……

I had the Trumpy 37mm version .....but .....four parts to a track link .....200 links a side .....no metal AM available .....got "sold unmade" 🫠
Good Luck !
I think I’d even baulk at that, Magic Tracks are the best out there for moulded track links. The price of AM tracks is getting ridiculous, almost half the cost again of the kit……

Been using it today ,level of control at low flow and low air is outstanding , but that is comparing it to lessor airbrushes like an IWATA Neo / Gaahleri 39 , which are half the price . I'm loving the atomisation , having done nothing different with the usual Tamiya paint.
That’s exactly what I am missing with the Ultra. It’s a great airbrush but would love a little more control……..thanks PW ……
1 hour ago, DocRob said:I use the H&S Infinity since years and have nothing to complain. They are great and reliable tools and I won´t lookback to cheaper models, except sometimes, I use my Rotring´s for sentimental reason.
Half a year ago, I bought the Giraldez edition of the H&S Infinity, which is more than a slight upgrade. The trigger has moved forward and is much finer in movement, my only down fact with the standard infinity. The needle mount has been also reworked and you can insert the needle from the backside, without risking to bruise the tip. The quality of the needle and nozzle has also improved along with a better clarity of indication for the nozzle/needle/cap size.
The design of the Giraldez´s trigger will not be to everybody´s taste, as it is better incorporated with the finger tip, than the finger print area.Here is the comparison. I will do a further test evaluation, when I find the time and have tested the new kid under all circumstances:
This is the new needle/nozzle/cap marking with clearly visible engraved lines, better than the confusing markings on my standard Infinity
The needle adjuster above old and the much smoother working Giraldez set below.
Hard to see, but no hard edges endanger the tip of the needle, when mounted from the backside (new one right)
And finally, the guiding tips of the Giraldez model, not tested yet, but should come handy with freehand camos or figure painting.
Cheers Rob
Thanks Rob, even more to think about now………
Just need to look at the financial situation, really really want though…..
Happy New Year and for a healthy and prosperous 2024 to everyone….

In my opinion it has to be the Border Fw 190. The moulding is stunning, instructions and decal selection not so much. Saying that they have the power of their convictions and staying with a scale. They have to be applauded for the new Akagi and Kate diorama boxing.

New airbrush ....Harder & Steenback Infinity CR plus 0.15 / 0.4 needles .Treated myself....the finish is gorgeous .
I keep coveting the same set, be interested in your opinion. I have their Ultra but want to step up…….also how many airbrush’s do you need?

I also have the Dspiae cutter..... Very useful, especially when doing
the wheels on tanks. I use vinyl sheets for the masks...those intended
for use on Cricut cutters. These work well, and if careful, can
be used again. Nice work on the Zero!
Thanks Paul, didn’t have any big tape available so for the wing roundels I had to use DIY tape albeit some good quality one…….the fuselage were 18mm Tamiya tape……..

Having received the Dspiae circle cutter I thought I’d give a shot on the Zero. This cutter is the cheapest out of their range, this one at £20 next up £35 and top level £75. Very impressed…….

No. The gun only flipped out when serviced. The cover i left of. Why? Because the cover was left of in service often. Like on this white K
Great detail, just reading up the differences between mk103 and mk108’s as used on the Fw190 A-8 R2.
the mk 108 uses 30x90RB mm ammunition.
the mk 103 uses 30x184B mm ammunition.
So 103 more punch for your money. Toying with idea of adding them on to my Border Fw 190 build…….-
