    I thought it was. Then I couldn't find my tweezers.

    Working at my bench, I needed my tweezers to hold a part in place while I glued it on. Except I couldn't find them which I found odd until I looked at the state of my bench. I think I've reached the point where a cleanup/re-organization may be in order. Carl

    That's a nice airbrush there Paul. The cutouts on the back are nice. I love Iwata airbrushes too. Almost all of mine are Iwata.

    It would be great to go and meet a bunch of you again but it'll have to wait for another year. The trip to Taiwan has tapped out the travel fund. Carl

    That looks great Kevin. Well done! Carl
  6. BlrwestSiR
    Guilty as charged!

    Most of my tweezers are probably best called twangers for the sound they make as parts go twang flying off then.

    That's looking very nice there Dave. The fuselage /wing join looks to be a nice fit.

    I was trying to find the one I use made by AK until I noticed it's made by Ammo. It's called Ultra Glue and is what I used to replace Gator Glue. I have that around too for paper models. Never thought to use it on the plastic kind. Carl

    Go to the dark side and build a Bandai Star Wars kits. Any one of them. Their fit makes a Tamiya kit look like something that was made in the last century. Or should I say the last, last century.

    Nice recovery there Kevin. I'm sure you'll be glad to get this finished.
  12. BlrwestSiR
    Like Paul said, some amazing work and techniques. Carl

    Coming along nicely. I've found that Mission Models paint needs a primer other than their own to stick to kit plastic. I've had it lift far too often otherwise. Carl

    More work on random started models that are on my bench. This time it was fitting the chassis to a Land Rover Defender. I'm using the recent Revell kit with a conversion from C1 Models The stock body: The conversion one. Hopefully when I'm done, it'll look something like this.

    That Panther looks fantastic. For the zimmerit, I did a wash with a dark brown to bring out the various creases and then a light drybrush. Carl

    I wonder if the matter finish is being affected by temperature and/humidity. I've had matte get a frosty look when it's too humid out.

    Maybe see if you can find any pics of the actual aircraft to confirm which prop/spinner it had?

    Wow, nice pair of kits there Rob. You're really building up quite the collection of MFH kits.
  19. BlrwestSiR
    I don't think so. I purchased it in the fall and it was a new item. They smell similar to AK Real Color paints.
  20. BlrwestSiR
    Nope, you're not going colourblind, although I am. Here's what it looks like in the bottle. I've never seen a paint settle like this before. Here's a different colour. The pigment separates out completely.

    Nice decal work there Rob. That's a lot of rivets.
  22. BlrwestSiR
    That'll buff out.

    A bit more work on the Horten. Did a coat of paint to see what the nose looked like. Then a coat of paint on the F-16. Finally, I tried out a new paint by Dspiae. It's supposed to be purple. I had to thin it considerably to get it to spray.
  24. BlrwestSiR
    That's a funky looking van there.
  25. BlrwestSiR
    Great job on that spiral Dave.
