Hello.

Hi!

      And Welcome. I bet you'll fit in here fine! Remember we are all about Models and the stuff it takes to build them, That's Figures too!

Hi Earl! Welcome to the Forums! Glad to have you with us.

Stay Safe.

Thanks! Out of curiosity, how long before my posts don't need moderator approval?

Welcome Earl. Glad that you arte with us.We might learn a thing or two from your painting knowledge of painting. 

Thanks guys. Yeah, anything I can share to help build the knowledge base. I've had to do a lot of solo problem solving with wierd (usually not model related) projects. Like my art cars. For example: You can use Liquitex Gloss Medium and Varnish (not necessarily High Gloss Varnish, that's a different product) as a primer in order to paint stainless steel. Or: Use white vinegar instead of mineral spirits to dust after sanding automotive primer. Removes dust just as well but won't attack the primer's binder. 

Welcome to the FineScale forum, Earl!  Did we "meet" in the Scale Model Addict forum, too?  Your handle is familiar.

I look forward to seeing your work!

Best regards,

Brad

aboard, Earl...always nice to have another inmate in the asylum! (If we behave ourselves, we get pudding! ) But, seriously, I think you'll enjoy your time here...it's a good group with all sorts of interests and varieties of work and levels of experience on display. Best yet, no 'prima donnas' (at least, that I've come across); everybody's more interested in sharing than ****ing on each others' hard work.

I personally have been building planes, cars, ships, armor and a little of everything else since the '60s...and I still learn things here on a regular basis. We seem to try to stay focused on the fact that hobbies should be fun. The challenge...a little 'showing off,' from time to time...and the occasional weird off-topic discussion, are all just bonuses.

Look forward to seeing your stuff! 

Hello all, and thanks for making me feel welcome. Baron, I think we did meet over on SMA. I posted this Dougram on a few different forums to get different perspectives of feedback. Got a great reminder on accentuating contrast from a guy on reaperminis.

Thank you for the info sir. Rather annoying but I guess I can understand.
