Do you believe what others say or fact based reality?

I like his reviews becuase I can get a idea on how the kit goes together rather than just what parts are in the box. When you are reviewing the large number of kits in a year there are going to be some compromise to the build quality. And I think the same goes for his paint brand choice is the most cost effective. Exactly. And as pointed out that there are other youtube channels that venture into the more advanced building techniques.

Refresher course in common sense should be mandatory.

Times are a-changin.

It is amazing that there are people who can walk and chew gum without a phone app.

I personally wouldn't use 2k clear it r really nasty. It requires more than a face mask. It can be absorbed through the skin and eyes so a suit is requires and a face msk are needed. A nice glossy finish can be achieved with lacquer with a little more work. You still need a good quality facemask.

Hope for the best but plan for the worst.

Definitely nothing to be embarrassed about. Nice looking model.

Impressive work.

Customer service seldom exists these days.

Nice work. Shows what can be done with one of the early technology kits.

I see Lego and Gundam as something positive. Those are making something rather than play video games Unfortunately there are those who are not that open minded and have the attitude that if you don't build models the way I do then it's not acceptable.

Great news. May you have a speedy recovery.

Ate too much fast food for years and now i can't see my toes.

If it's too good to be true it probably is. Greed for wealth perverts.

Free is the most expensive word around. Trival tasks have a way of taking far more time and effort than you often expect.

We had a birthday party this weekend for my niece's husband. My great nephew who will be 7 on Halloween this year's l8kes to draw so I gave him some crayons and some paper for drawing. He decided to do some drawings of each of us and I was impressed that he has a knack for drawing what he sees. Second we had a party a couple of weeks ago for my sister. Instead of shoving a cell phone in his hand my niece has him draw or they play tic tac toe. I decided it would be fine to do a doodling game. I would add a shape and then he would add to the drawing. It was fun. I made a comment about how much fun it was and my niece said that he had wanted to play that game when they got home. I'm pleased it was a big hit. I thought it would be fun.

Hoarding TP is silly. I'm going to hoard model car kits. Oh wait I already am.

I think this is a gtrat illustration of the issues caused by mixing paint brands. My guess is that you may have painted the hood a little wetter and got the reaction. Staying with one brand of paint and paint type when painting.

Video stores are extinct becuase of streaming services.

Thanks for digging into this. I agree with your comment on this not being an outright ban . Contrary to what some want to believe Tamiya paints are not the focus of this moratorium. It just happens that Tamiya to use this chemical. I'm am curious what products use this chemical.

First off saying there is a ban is an overstatement. What is actually happening is a moratorium . There was a similar situation a few years ago with Tamiya having to change the labels on the spray cans and it was unavailable for a while. Sounds like a good time to buy and learn how to use an airbrush.

Good choice on not clearing. Can't see that it would have improved and potentially might have messed up a strategy paint job.
