    I know that my question might have seemed silly or even redundant. The reason I asked was to determine if the airbrush body causes the needle to flex/bend once it is installed and left in the airbush for a while.

    What can be achieved with 3D printing these days, just blows me away!

    Jeff, before you did the latest swap to a new needle/nozzle combination, were you able to first verify that the new needle being installed was perfectly straight?

    This will be my 900th post. It has taken me almost 14 years to reach this milestone. I believe that at one time, it took 1000 posts to achieve Ohana status. If that were still the case and I continue posting at the same rate, I would not be Ohana until over a year and a half from now! LOL

    Not that it affects my decision to attend, but I am curious as to why this major event is not listed in the Upcoming Contests section. I think that Tom Geiger may have already explained the rational, but I have forgotten the explanation. In any event, the attached picture may be indicative of my level of mounting excitement! LOL The mug was filled multiple times this morning.

    You buy the way I dream! Mega awesome acquisitions!

    Tom, the print looks really well done. What will you use to fill in the missing components? The hood is integral with the body, and yet the chassis is open where the engine would be located.

    Bruce, might it be worth your time to reach out to Casey on the forum. After all, Forward Resin, has many offerings.

    Some of the parts look to be in pretty rough shape; the dash and console. Good luck when restoring.
  10. Bill Eh?
    That is a an awesome addition to your very historical collection. I'm reasonably good at disassembly and reassembly of modern airbrushes. I would be terrified to even think about taking something like that apart for fear of ruining a part.

    If in fact it is the old Miss Deal kit, I wonder why Atlantis doesn't just release it as the same. I thought that the Miss Deal kit was a fictitious livery. Would it be because Revell still has copy a copyright on this?

    The lister mistook the scale as the MSRP, but took off 5¢ LOL

    I am subscribed to Just Rolled In. His videos never cease to amuse me, but often have me wondering how someone can allow such situations to occur with a vehicle.

    How long did you wait before spraying the TS-80?
  15. Bill Eh?
    Similar to Indycals in that there is no carrier film and each graphic has to be cut out individually. The resolution appears to be quite crisp. I'm still at the stage of removing the moulded-in exhaust from the kit. LOL

    Jim, I'm not sure if you have Badman decals already. I bought mine through eBay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/123598535625?hash=item1cc70bfbc9:g:tecAAOSwk~VcYZgO

    Lifetime supply.

    Based on Daniel Himmel's (Straightliner59) very helpful recommendation, I purchased some bees wax candles. I will try it on cutting blades as a lubricant, and if needed as an airbrush nozzle sealant. The amount is probably overkill, but I'm thinking that this will be a lifetime supply! LOL
  20. Bill Eh?
    I just added this to my hobby shop, or possibly grocery store shopping list. Thanks Daniel
  21. Bill Eh?
    Daniel, thanks for this additional tip. Would this apply to any saw blade be it Dremel or razor saw? I know that bee's wax can also be used to seal troublesome nozzles on airbrushes.
  22. Bill Eh?
    Thanks Dave. No matter which method I choose to cut the tube, I will definitely use a lighter to heat the tube before and during the cut. Greg, although I have a few razor saws, I have been using the saw and miter box box from UMM. I think it is time to invest in a larger miter box, like the one you have. LOL
  23. Bill Eh?
    Thanks Rancdy. That was how I first tried to make my slice. The depth of the miter box was such that I could not maintain a solid enough grip on the tube. It took a chunk out of the razor saw blade. I might try this again by placing a strip of styrene in the bottom of the miter box to raise the tube. Thanks Peter. I do have Dremel style rotary tool with cut off wheels. I will try this method as well. If I cut it correctly, it will only be 1/8" wide by 1/10" long. Thanks for the suggestion Brian. With the hardness of brass, you can see the lack of success that I had with this method. I may need to try this method again if the prior two methods don't work. Thanks to all of you for replying with solutions to my problem.

    I have tried to cut a 2.5 mm slice off a 1/8" K & S brass tube. I have tried using my K & S tube cutter with no success. A friend suggested using an X-acto knife by rolling on a hard surface. In both cases the blade wandered. I have attached a pic to show what happened. So those who are familiar with and work with brass, how would you go about ding this? Any advice would be appreciated.

    Something I made a couple of days ago. The "Pringles Evergreen / Plastruct / K&S organizer. I finally got around to organizing my inventory so as to make it easier to find/use. The first pic shows the way it used to be. The next pics show my inventory in a somewhat better state of organization. It is easy to add more Pringles compartments as necessary. Currently I have them organized as Strip, Rod, Tube, Miscellaneous, and Brass. As Jim King (CabDriver) has stated, you can never have too much structural styrene!
