Well I was planning on doing some AB work today, but one step outside told me no. Missouri heat and humidity 😩. But I did bring my AB in and will give a good cleaning......harv

Harv

Do you feel the added weight of the attached moisture trap when air brushing? Do you paint outside in the garage all the time? You're way tougher then me

Keep 'em comin

Peter, no not really. Infact,  I think it gives it more balance.  And I paint in my old garage.....harv

Harv

Any reason why you prefer the moisture trap on the AB rather then the compressor?

I'm a down the middle of the road kind of guy - I don't like the heat or cold. 60F is perfect for me and of course, no humidity.

Keep 'em comin

Actually,  I have two traps. One on the compressor and the one on the brush. No real reason....harv

[Peterpools]

Thanks Harv

Keep 'em comin

Hi Ron. I guess you'll have to wait a bit longer. I put it aside to work on the Wessex. But thanks for the shout out....harv

Yes, it's been almost a year !! But liking Gaz build, though I'd try my hand at Archers rivet set....harv

[harv]

I don't know. Not impressed.  I dont care for the fact they are black.Thinking about getting the HGW set....harv

Good to see you back on the Würger. What's not to like about the rivets Harv, maybe except the slightly off orientation .

Cheers Rob

Rivets look really good and once your hit the priming and painting stages, their color shouldn't matter or am I missing something, like always? 

 

[harv]

Peter, thanks. I was hoping sand the paint back so they sorta show through, like Gaz build...harv

[Peterpools]

Harv

Got ya, then you're so right, the black rivets don't work.

 

[GazzaS]

Glad to see you back on this, Harv.  If you get the HGW set, make sure they are for the specific model you are making.  I bought a set for the Hasegawa G6 and they didn't fit the ZM g6 well at all.

[Martinnfb]

This set is not exactly correct, the oval rivet pattern should be running around the cover , not within. The HGW set has it right. I will check back on you in a year ?

[harv]

Ordered it today....harv

Details, details, and more details.

I remember the good old days when just having close to good looking rivets was a treat - many moons a go for sure.
