Rust-Oleum won't give me straight answers to my questions about Testors enamel weights.

I do think we should all remain civil to a fellow model builder.

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.

Apparently there is a direct correlation between reloading ordinance...and painting your AMT 1968 Roadrunner body! ?

 

It's ordnance, not ordinance. And Plum Crazy wasn't available on the '68 Road Runner. Didn't come out until the '70 model year.

Yeah, but it's so much more fun than watching re-runs of "Cops".

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).

I'm having a problem finding reloading dies for my plinker.

Sorry, I don't have an "Associate of Science" degree, so you shouldn't expect me to be able to spell.

I guess spell check doesn't catch everything.

Better put that on the grocery list.

I think I might know where you could score some 55 gallon drums.

I think that's become the general consensus.

Obviously I’ll be eventually? working with fine tip: 

As evidenced by the photo, the tip of a normal Fine Point Sharpie is a whole 1/8” wide, whereas the Ultra Fine Point Sharpie’s point is only 1/32” wide. 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??

I probably will have better luck finding them than a friggin' steak.

You have to be a colonel first. Why is "colonel" pronounced "kernel"? I don' see no steenkin' ARGH...

You... you madman! Have you any idea the the difference in weight between purple and black ink???

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?

The tiny metallic flakes will surely ruin any chance of good coverage with the marker if I don’t add .0271 grams of paint thinner.

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!

What gets me is that all his questions pertain to the same subject and could have been posted in the same thread, IMO.

I did not make this thread to ask for advice from others. I already know what I need to know now that I'm left to my own devices. 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.
