Too bad. I guess they didn't evolve with the times. Speaking for myself since I am not at all skilled with paints and chemicals, the only reason I was able to get back into modelling is these Japanese hobby supplies. They have a really long shelf life, and dont go bad as soon as you open them. Amazing stuff compared to what I grew up with, and got me turned off the hobby because I just couldn't get anywhere.

Holy smokes! That's some detailed work for 8th grader. What year was this? You even got the Itano circus going.

So cool. I'd like to see a video of you airbrushing with it!

I only recast small parts for lighting, such as engine parts. I've given up on buying expensive containers of silicon molds, so I use the Blue Stuff now which is fine for small parts. So I'm thinking of vacuuming AFTER the resin is in the molds. Any vacuum improvement over my own mixing will be great. Your link looks exactly like what I'm planning to do, except I'm using a specially made vacuum food container. And he got excellent results too.

Mechtech, Talking about using household appliances, I've got this vaccum food sealer with an external pump and container. Do you see any reason why this wouldn't be good for vacuum a small dose of resin? Any advice/precautions appreciated.

It's used for inhaling asthma medicine with a mask. I never felt it was that strong. But Google tells me that these things are doing 1.5-2 Bars, which should be perfect for airbrushing.

MT, I've got my kid's nebulizer in the kitchen hamper. They've outgrown it, but I knew it could come into good use one day.

Nice. It needed to be done.

That's going to be hilarious with the plane flying around. Can't wait to see it. Very envious of your gears...

Looks sweet. But what's an Ai Upgrade?

That's Hilarious. Cat's love your cardboard boxes I guess. Sleeping in your territory is how they strengthen their bond with you.

derex, Could also be that your two different types of primer didn't get along. Different chemical properties.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarg!

Thanks for the photos! Very nice build. Going through it now carefully to see what I can learn.

I get the Ulfa razor saws. You get 5 for the price of one. And I suspect Tamiya uses their blades.

Dang, pengbuzz, you pulled it off with a smooth finish.

Same here. More...

Looks great. I have a kit of that. Planning to do something with it one day.

That's so cool.

True, but my point is that anyone can learn Arduino without being an electrical engineer. You're a good tutor, but a lot of tutorials over complicate the issue, when it can be really simple for our modeling purposes. Cool thanks. I ordered the issue.

Strange. I find Wave kits to be sturdy styrene. Does the box look like this (so we can avoid this line? https://www.ebay.com/itm/VOTOMS-Scopedog-Round-Mover-ATM-09-ST-Wave1-60-Model-Kit-Series-No-01/154076931252?hash=item23dfb364b4:g:zo4AAOSwg6JfVYo2

Classy! Nice job on the painting and shadows.

Exactly what I was going to say. Sheesh, that YF-19 sits on my shelf like the unloved step-child with those bizarre wing tampos!

You are now SDF-1girl. And if I only had the space...

Gundam Sentinel. Hmmm... Never read that one. Sounds perfect: UC timeline, Hajime Katoki, hard sci-fi sequel to Zeta... I'm doing a mega UC rewatch right now, so I will get on that after Z. And weathering some Zakus while I'm at it (a dremel will be involved).
