Tumble dried models

throw some dirty socks in there for that subtle worn and weathered look.

Weathering is supposed to make it look bad... not smell bad

Gawh.... I'd be too terrified to put a model on that rack for fear of it falling off somehow and burning down the house in a unforseen way. But niftey idea.

That's my kind of luck

Isn't funny how when you're a modeler, the world falls into 3 categories:

• Model
• Tool for modeling
• Potential tool for modeling that the use just hasn't been discovered yet

I love the dryer idea!

Wonder if the dishwasher could be used to wash a kit before building? And the crockpot..... gotta be a use there.....

Get a cardboard box, line it with aluminum foil and install a 100 watt bulb in the top.

Makes a great drying oven especially with a towel draped over the front.

Microwave anybody ?

Plastic ala mode -l

Just got a new dryer that has a sweater rack.  It clips inside so a sweater can lay flat to dry without being tumbled.  Set on the delicate cycle, barely gets warm, and it is a quick dry booth with filtered air.  Works great… just don’t let the wifey see you do it.  That is a 1/144 Fw with a 3 inch wing span but there is room in there of a fairly big plane, tank… whatever.

Actually, that aircraft was 1/72 before tossing it in there!

ROTFL!!! 

You guys are deeply, deeply disturbed ...

Which is no doubt why I feel so at home here.

Berny... if you are gonna throw it in the dishwasher... why did you weather it in the 1st place?

 Nice to see I am not the only one the washes "disposable" food stoage stuff.

If those are disposable, then I won't have any bowls left!!!!

Wow , this is a clean and dry thread !

It should get the Good House  Keeping Award .

what if your wifey hijacks the little rack and makes it so that it falls off during the cycle?

LOLOL
