How many paint jars do you have and what is you preference?

This is the one and only time I am going to post about this here or anywhere as I have many, many better things to do than babysit the Forums. Please stop posting about the recent threads that went sideways, and what happened, and why are they like that. It has been addressed and dealt with. Start treating every other member wth respect no matter what has happened in the past; the tit-for-tat stuff ends now.

If I see another report connected with this issue in anyway, I will begin banning the accounts being reported and the person making the report.

I'm off-line for a week, and miss all the "good stuff" .

Look's like he took a page out of Photobucket's book...... all his post's are gone.

Do we need to pay a ransom to see what's really going on ?

He's apparently back now.  He's restored his profile.  And he replied to me in one of his posts, asking to "end the feud".  I told him there was no feud-he made some posts, people called him out on them, and he decided to pout.

I asked if he'd started building anything, in the meantime and told him if he had, he should post about it.

But it looks like the moderators may have deleted that particular thread, because I don't see it anymore.

Tons of mostly Tamiya acrylics. I mix my own colors, so the lack of specific colors is not an issue.

I recently discovered a LHS which is a good source for all things Gunze. I'm slowly collecting the Mr Color line bottle by bottle.

Over the years I have accquired an extensive array of Vallejo Model Color acrylics. 

During the Tamiya scare I collected MM Acryl and have nearly used them up now. 

Gosh, a lot. Many are duplicates of regularly used colors, some brands were bought for test purposes or a special color, as I'm absolutly no good at mixing colors. What comes out of the bottle is what I get.

White Ensign Enamels 69 tins

Vallejo Model Color acrylics 49 bottles, Model Air 23 bottles

Testors square bottle 20 bottles

Model master acrylics 76 bottles

Model master enamels 65 bottles

Model Master laquers 2 bottles

Tamiya acrylics 15 bottles

Tru North enamels 6 bottles

LifeColor acrylics 6 bottles

AK acrylics 1 bottle

Plus clearcoats, thinners, additives and rattle cans, etc.

And a few items on the bench and in the spray booth

Somewhere around 315 paints plus all the oddball stuff. 

Wow, even surprised me.

If I'm not mistaken, didn't this exact scenario play out a year or two ago?

If I recall corerctly, this is his third or fourth user account. He's spat the dummy several times for being called out for resurrecting ancient threads. This week, he's also pulled up a number of 16 year old threads and put up generic responses as if the question was asked the day before. 

    So short of sounding as silly as the OP, at 51yrs old I still feel alittle" bullied" kinda like being a nerd, model geek, glue sniffer is a bad thing, VERY GLAD for you old timers who bring reason and peace to the forums.  GLUE SNIFFERS UNITE!!

Because he was trolling to see if he could stir up arguments, got called out, and collected his jacks and went home.

 

Now there's a concise explanation if I ever saw one.

Why are the original posts being erased? Found two like this so far, from the same OP.

 

 

 

 

Nevermind, I found the thread that turned sideways.

 

 

 

 

me too. Missed the good stuff lol.

 

The joke on the OP is that he thinks by deleting his posts, they disappeared. Not.

Now that's the mature thing to do.

I see! So my well thought out, balanced, reasoned, informative response to one of the threads was a waste of my time!

where do I send my bill, and anyone have an email that I can subscribe to every junk mail sender I can find?

More than a hundred bottles and tinlets of enamel, laquer and acrylics. Of note are my Pactra paints, more than 40 years old and still good. I even have the Russian ans US WWII set still factory shrink-wrapped. The other set are the Humbrol ( WWII RAF enamels) and Gunze acrylics ( USAF, USN, A-10, Israeli).

 

Oh man those sets bring back some memories!

I have too many, but not the right ones for any current project...

 

Man, this hits home and I'll bet I'm not the only one.

I have enough, until I need more...

I would say about 150. 

 I do try to check the enamels and cull out any bottles that have gone bad from time to time.  The Tamiya acrylics last for years. 

I've kept any special mixes as well, for touch ups if needed, but many enamel mixes do go bad.  (Turn to rubber)

I still have a bottle of Pactra Olive Drab that I painted a 1/25th  Tamiya Centurion with in 1977.  Haven't checked it lately.

I like that paint rack, Ted.  Where'd you get it?

 

Thanks. 

I made it out of some scrap 1x4s and 1x2s.

56 bottles of Tamiya paint. I have some dupicate colors for mixing and some bottles of colors I've already mixed and will use again.

Very nice paint rack, and good use of "unuseable" space. Just for grins, there are 2 bottles of Floquil Grimy Black listed on ebay as of last night. One for $46.00, and the other for $51.00. I really like Floquil, and have a good bit of it left, but I believe I'll pass of these........

Tom

About this many.  The rack is about 7 ft tall.  Built in the wasted space behind the door.

I'm trying to think of a snappy response to your "logic" but all I can do is laugh.
