Hey everyone

Posted by MikeV on Tuesday, July 25, 2006 10:21 PM

I have been working long hours so no modeling is getting done and I have very little time for all the questions on here. Sorry guys.
I get up at 4:30am , leave for work at 5:30 am, and get home at 7:00 pm.

I figured as much, but you dropped off the boards so quickly, I got kinda worried.

Last person I knew who did that was Trowlfazz... Sad [:(]

So long folks!

Thanks Bill.
Don't listen to these Iwata advocates either, they are all miscreants! Laugh [(-D]

Eclipse is an American Company that they copied because they can't think of their own name. Tongue [:P]

Just like Badger copied their name from the Pendleton Badgers!!!! (Oh wait... that team was from Third Rock from the Sun... nevermind...) Wink [;)]

Welcome back, even though you airbrush with a gun named after a fictitious football team! Laugh [(-D]

I know how the work thing goes. We have 11 engines in the shop right now. It's crazy and the overtime is in full swing.

Try to check in from time to time. Especially the F15 GB. Big Smile [:D]

Was worried about your sudden disappearance Mike, glad to hear if was nothing serious but just a work thing. Wink [;)]

Don't let them run you too ragged for too long, you need that unwind time.

Don't let the guys here badger you about helping them defend their choice of airbrush against the Iwata crowd, there's no money in it. LOL Besides, the choice of AB doesn't really matter. Smile [:)]

Take it slow and easy. Thumbs Up [tup]

Hey Mike,

good to see you back! Did I tell you that I own all these now... partially due to reading your posts here and there? Big Smile [:D]

- Badger 100
- Badger 100SG
- Badger 100G
- Badger 100LG
- Badger 150
- Badger 155 (x2)
- Badger 175
- Omni 4000
- Revell Student

So far I've only used the first four and really like the gravity feed brushes, so I am thinking of getting rid of some of the bottom feed ones. Do you think any other Badgers/T&Cs would spray finer than any of the ones I already have? BTW, do you know where I can find a parts diagram for the Revell Student/Vega 600?

Stick around this time!

The only one that will spray finer is the Sotar 20/20.
Not sure about the diagram for that airbrush as I am not familiar with it.
There is a diagram of the T&C Vega 600 here:
