Very pretty. Thanks for sharing.

Also look up leather punches.

I doubt Rust-oleum will supply that information to you personally. They will probably refer you to the MSDS for each product. That will give you all of the useless information that you need.

Good luck with that kit. I had that very kit years ago and it had terrible fit issues. Never fond of ERTL kits after that.

True.

The white plastic salad bowls, served at informal parties are made of polystyrene. A little heat with hair dryer can put an indent on the bottom.

A very simple but clean build with super color choice.

Looks like plenty of room for an air mattress and kayak.

One problem with the USPS is the delivery drivers themselves. They’re paid hourly. Do you think if they have a light load they’ll come in and punch out early. NO WAY! They’ll find a nice quiet cubby hole behind a gas station somewhere and take a nap till it’s time to check out. I know of a postman who naps behind a social club in my area almost every Wednesday around 2:30 and doesn’t leave till 4:00.

Why the concern? Can’t you just prime and paint over it?

A little time consuming but If you start with fine polishing cloth and work your way down to coarser grit you won’t damage the clear any more than it’s damaged now. Then you can work your way back up in grit to a satisfactory level. If the scratch is deep you could then go to sandpaper proceeding the same way.

Exactly.

Really!!! Just keep experimenting on your model. If you don’t like the paint job, soak it in lacquer thinner for a couple of days and your problem will disappear.

We are all craftsmen. Some to different degrees. A craftsman never stops learning. Especially from each other. That’s why this site exists.

I bought this felt material at Hobby Lobby. The best way I can describe it is in powdered form but I don’t remember what it was called. I remember painting a base color then using 1/1 combo of Elmers glue and water, brushing it on then dumping the felt onto the seat. Tamp it down VERY lightly all around, let dry, then tap out the excess.

Try McMaster Carr catalog They have stainless steel wire discs cut to diameter. You can choose the mesh opening size. Listed as a 25 pack for $16.00. Check your profile for PM. A little trick I’ve learned I do not wish to share with everyone on this site.

Pretty !

I would have liked to see how the excess trim was cut.

I especially like the the ceiling fan you painted on the roof. Even though it’s not centered.?

Dettol on ebay

I think that inspection sticker is expired.

I have no plan on flying any time soon so I’ll stick to my general rule when painting. Thanks for the info though.

The dew point is actually a better indicator. Most people consider a dew point less than 60 degrees to be comfortable. Anything over 65 gets a little sticky because there is more moisture in the air. More moisture is your enemy and one of the causes of blushing, a milky haze on the paint surface.

Finally got it! Delivered by Pony Express the next day.

You put the parts together, then apply the glue at the joint. The glue spreads through capillary action.
