Graham, ask and you shall recieve.  It is done. BTW, by trade I'm a middle school math & science teacher.  Just wanted to let you know  Make sure you do your homework

Er, um, uhhhh, I said I hate hate math, yaknow, double negative?! But I'm sure I'm not the only person here that didn't like algebra 1. Well, Science is really fun at least. I'm doing biology now and that's great. But I loved physical science! Is that the stuff you teach? (jeez! I can't even get away from school on a modeling forum! )

I sprayed the tiger yesterday so tonight or at very latest, tomorrow when Christmas break starts, (yay! er, darn!) I'll have all the time in the world to stop procrastinating!

You know Graham sounds like a good guy.  I just found out that he's only 14 and here I was thinking he was our age.  Plus I love his VW diorama.

Oh, you are just so kind! It brings a warm feeling to my heart...

Thanks guys for your comments.  Much appreciated.

Roy, I usually turn the air pressure up a notch (25psi) and close the nozzle until barely anything comes out.  This gets a little touchy as the tip gets clogged up now and then and I have to open it up and blow it out once in awhile depending on the type of paint I'm using.  Using brand name thinners with retardants is crucial with acrylics.  The higher pressure helps to prevent thetip dry on the nozzle and keeps it from clogging as much.  HTH.

Put the mystery machine down as the 1/72 Heller MS 406.  Given all the other Heller kits that came with the batch it is most likely that one.

I enjoy teaching Earth science the most.

Does this mean the VW will be finished soon

Yup! V-dub pics will be coming! Not to mention the start of a zillion other projects. Hey, I'm the procrastinator! At the bench, or doing homework!

You're a good man

No, good miniman!

If it works for you

Why are you not working on the VW?

Easy! Easy! I'll get to it, later. Right now, I'm trying to finish up a history paper. If I get to the resin tonight, I'll tell you!.

Whats in line next for the bench ?

I've got a 1/72 jeep from the academy ground vehicles set that I want to bang out before Christmas.  I'll be gone for part of the holidays so won't be much bench time.  After that I've got a Revell of Germany Hurricane Mk IIB and a Tamiya 1/72 Corsair.  I also have to see what my secret santa brought and the In my stash vote is coming up.

Speaking of the In My Stash GB.  I see you'll be doing the He 111 Zwilling to go along with that Gigant your building!

Hmmmm I think their are a lot of 1/35 fans out there , reguardless If it does not get picked - I will move it to the front line of the bench. Gotta have a tow somehow...

ps  I sent Roy the Link for Frozen Hog... I am getting excited, this year if It works out  I will leave a week early so I dont get shut down by road closures...

Thanks Dave for the how-to.  I updated the roster for you.

Who told you

They said you already have one so I put it back on the shelf

Guys, take alook at my early Christams/Birthday gift

Paasche Spray Booth  I love my family

Roy - Very Nice What a Fantastic Gift and to get it early. You are very fortunate to have such a Wonderful Family. 

I can honestly say that is a very nice booth and you will like it ...

Just to shake things up around here I cut a hole in the side of the House Thanksgiving morning (why do something when the hardware store is open) just to shake things up in our neighborhood..

Everything went smooth (missed the studs) and I don't have to use the window anymore. 

My bench only looks this clean for photos..

When is your Birthday ?

Thanks Sean  My birthday happens to be the same as my dad, 30 December.  I like the way your bench looks and the paint rack is great.  We were redoing our basement but it has been put on hold till this spring.  I get a corner of it for my hobby bench.  Funny thing is, mine will most likely look like your's 'L' shaped  I also plan to do a paint rack much like your's also.  Right now I'm using the extra bedroom but space is tight.  I will have to vent the booth out the window for now

BTW I think that I'm a very luck man to have a wondeful family as I'm sure we all do.

Dave & Sean, could you guys PM me your mailing address?

Roy,

Nice looking paint booth, will have to get one eventually.  Might just build one myself if it is cheaper.

Summit, great looking bench, wish that I had that much space, but I am pretty limited on the space side.  Will be doing something about that soon though I think.

My Ka-50 Hokum is finished!!! Sitting on the top shelf now.  Not sure which one I will be moving on to next.  I'll try to post some pics later on.

Matt

Roy - I noticed on the list you had me listed for a P-51b, it should be a D.  Other than that all looks well.

Gee Roy, maybe your family is trying to tell you something (like, your paint stinks) Lol.  Don't pay any attention to me.  I'm just with envy.

I'll send you a PM shortly.

Sean, nice work on the bench.  Looks very organized!

Heh, at least you can use yours when others are around! My mom hardly ever lets me spray in the booth. She does have asthema but I'm using acrylics! But the booth I have is nice... Pretty soon, you'll have to have an industrial grade fan pulling fumes out the window!

After I used up the filters that came with it I've been buying filter fabric in big sheets cheap and cutting out what I need.

 Ahoy! I am almost semi functional today. Was a really bad bout with the  medicine. Apparently I had a very bad reaction and it threw me for a loop. Still shaky but have to at least attempt to make good on my promise of 1 per week.  I guess the status quo is to post a before pic so here it is, The oldest unfinished build in my home. 

 The Lindberg HMS Hood and it has looked like this since 1977-78 school year when I got it at a slot racing car shop!  Dug out 90% of the parts and have them in a zip bag. The rest will be either from the spares box or scatched.  Nothing fancy intended as I have the new Trumpeter release but for nostalgia I think it needs to be finished. 30 plus years is long enough to wait.

Graham, here's the back of it:

Here's my 1/48 P-40.  Found out that these markings are for a training unit at Napier Field, Alabama 1943:

I have some paper that will line the inside of the booth.  Not ready to paint the inside yet

Well, here's my Vigilante!

I'll redo some of the pre-shade lines and start getting some paint on!

Cheers,

Azgaron
