That said, these threads are entertaining 🤷♂️ Fellow model builder? Are you sure "Mr. Anonymous" has actually built anything lately? He seems to be too busy with theoretical musings about model paint gravity. I no longer give him any advice, but I am reading all the replies from everybody, including Mr. Crazy, as I find it all very amusing. What's funniest here is that he received a pretty useful reply from the paint manufacturer, which he chose to ignore and continue his quest for perfection on the first try. This thread is the silliest thing I have seen in a very long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Well, that's why I'm still watching the comments here. Just no more advice from me. Not worth wasting my time and energy tryign to provide some of my hands-on experience to "Mr. Theoretical". After readying all the threads he has posted here I also begun suspecting that he is just having fun with us, but he might actually be serious (in the type of questions he posts, and in ignoring all the helpful hints). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will aid in my goal of 100% unobtainable perfection in detailing my model that I’m stressing over so much, that I haven’t started on yet. Hey…are those available in purple?😈 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. But I have e-mailed Newell Brands to request this information, and also exactly how many passes are required to get complete opaque coverage, and what weather conditions are most favourable. Ooh…darn it, I forgot to ask them if each pass should alternate directionally or be parallel? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I can see where knowing how to reload shells might come in handy in our favorite hobby. That way, when you mess up a paint job, you can take the model out back and shoot it! Put it out of its misery! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted it to reveal my discoveries on my own to share with you all like a good soul. Sharing is caring. I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. Oh, Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.
