I have been following this often heated discussion. Part of the issue is some of the discussion is too general. As pointed out Duplicolor has more than one paint system. So if you're had good luck with it which system are you using. The same goes for Rustolum. There are different spray nozzles.

Accuracy for some is measure with an micrometer, mark with chalk, cut with an axe.

It is. Scott built it in a series. He is the publisher editor of the new magazine.

This one seems to be fighting you. It doesn't look like crazing to me it looks like the paint dried before it hit the model. What are you thinning the Tamiya paint with? What thinner to paint ratio are you using? You might want to use more thinner. How close are you spraing to the model.That is the other possibility if it's too far back. I'd wet sand and try thinning the paint more.

And if that wasn't dumb to send up with issues it turns out that the NASA suits aren't compatible with space x suits complicating using space x dragon for a ride home. Arrgh!!

Stunning work. A tutorial in s c ratchbuilding.

The bad news is the astronauts may not get back to Febuary. The good news is Ford will have the parts to fix their cars.h

Francis hoping you are well. Looking forward to your next update.

Can can dancing became popular in the 1840's.

Fired is what you will be if you are always late to work.

That's fine. If 3 months is a better cycle then do that. However change the magazine to be a quarterly and do it like clockwork. Saying the magazine is bimonthly when it isn't is confusing and creates the impression is running late.

Great news. Thanks for the update. Hopefully you guys can get back to the bi-monthly schedule.

Also AMT did spray lacquers that were friendly to plastics.

Any estimated ETA? I'm sure I'm not the only one wondering about when we will see the next issue. the next issue.

You can accept the challenges of life and become a better person or use those challenges as an excuse to do nothing.

Love the upgrades. Very nice work.

That is great news.

Beholder could be thought to be a bee hive.

Sad thing is that the charger won't be driven because it's so valuable. It's an investment.

What baffles me was the decision to OK the mission when there were known problems. It's different if there was an unanticipated problem while in space. The Challenger disaster happen because the o-rings failed because of a known weakness becuase of the cold. You'd think they would have been more cautious.

A couple of things. How long did you let the primer dry? Second if you can't fix the crazing I'd suggest doing a patina paint job. I've seen a few trucks done that way. I know that may not be what you want to do but it's better than buying another kit. Wow I'm impressed it looks like you managed to save the body. Nicely done. .

Seems like the magazine is becoming a quarterly rather than every 2 months. 224 June 26 223 March 4 222 December 1

I see this as a good thing. More coverage of the hobby is great. There are limits to what can be put in an issue. Besides a little completion is healthy as it keeps everyone on their toes.
