Thanks Carl....I'm very pleased with new Trigger.

You wouldn't believe the trouble I had getting this thing!!!!!  Sent from Chicago to Beach Park Illinois, (43 miles) It took a week for UPS to send it.

multiple rescheduling of delivery dates (5). On Monday I watched tracking all day, only to have the driver say "It's not on the truck". On the phone

with them multiple times. Major headaches. 

Craziness. I had much less trouble when I ordered from Iwata, even when it had an error in the address. 

Speaking of Iwata, have you seen the special they have on?

Picked this up about a week ago.....

From Harder & Steenbeck,  it's their INFINITY CRplus 2024 Solo O.25mm Titanium.

Well,.....What can i say?  This thing is gorgeous. I've been very happy with my Iwata brushes but I've

Heard good things about this brand and I wanted to see what all the fuss was about. I hope to give it a try

this weekend.

BTW......this was the inspiration for the Trigger swap for my Iwata. I liked the wide trigger pad on This brush.

 

I hope this sprays as well as it looks😀

I use different iterations of the CRplus since years and absolutely love them as an ex engineer. Easy to maintain and always reliable, you´ll love it Paul. I personally use the Giraldez edition since one and a half years, it´s my favorite, despite it´s strange trigger, but have the regular edition as well.

Did another trigger swap.......This time on my Iwata HP-C+, once again, using Iwata part I-545-4.

Making this solid, well-performing, air brush even better.

 

A nice change.......And yes, I need to cut my nails😶

The picture of the Squirrel? Well,  that's just a bonus picture.

I've been feeding squirrels........Mostly peanuts with occasional cookies. They take food from my hand😀 A chipmunk

eats from my hand as if it were my pet.....Shows no fear or hesitation..... Perhaps that's not an ideal situation🤔

I have been also feeding squirrels, usually with Canadian or US dollars,  every time a new model is released. Recently there were lots of them, for instance Airfix 109 is on the way as we speak, or type

Oh, I've been doing that kind of Squirrel feeding as well. Everything in 1/16 scale ends up on my list! I also have that big ME 109 on my mind .

I hear Gecko is going to come out with a 1/16 Marder but, knowing Gecko, it probably won't be seen in a year. Feeding actual squirrels isn't cheap

either .....in fact, they're becoming increasingly obnoxious; demanding to be fed all day. Most of the peanuts end up buried in my yard......This instinct

drives them into a frenzy. I give them cookies because I know they will eat them right away and not waste excessive energy trying to run and bury them. This "Golden age of Modelling"  Is as hard to resist as it is hard on the pocket book.

Interesting, because there was one at my LHS today as well. Might have even been bigger than the one at your LHS. Guess I'm as weak as you.

right?
