Not work so much, take some vacation... and sleep more.

I was wondering why so many fireworks all these years... Now I know. Happy Birthday Ken!

I can review, do a video I believe. I'm happy with it so far, it's not the quietest compressor I've heard but you have have a conversation with it on. I'm thinking of making a storage box that will isolate it and make it quieter as well. I'll try to get something up on YouTube this weekend...

I am new to airbrushing as well, it does get easier. I found that once you have good equipment (Badger AB for me) dialing the air pressure and paint viscosity to get good results became so much easier. I also found using ink while practicing at the start worked well and was cheaper. I also...

I have started work on a similar train layout. Starting modeling again has motivated me back into trains again as well. I had also been to Walthers showroom, where they have an HO layout with some similar stuff. I've been planning to do my new layout with a steampunk theme, but still having...

I finally got the Badger 105 "Patriot", I've only used it for about 10-15 minutes so far but my #1 concern will be a non-issue with this AB. It is EASY to clean! On top of that, it disassembles & assembles easily. Compared to the the HF AB, it's a pleasure and that is with only using it for a...

Was shopping at Home Depot today and came across this compressor, they had a unit out of the box so I plugged it in to see how quiet it was. Not very noisy, actually. I picked it up for $54. This unit is going to be just perfect for airbrushing! Just thought I would share, I haven't fully...

RocketSilo, I know... To be honest, I keep going back and forth between the two. I hadn't heard anything "bad" about the Neo that put me off buying it but I have always heard great things about Badger (they are right near where I grew up in IL) AB's and I do believe in buying quality...

That just might be the best use of Twitter I've seen. I don't really see it's value, of Twitter, for the most part but this is a pretty cool idea.

The currently seems to only support 6-string guitar, standard tuning. There is a multi-player option, but I believe it's for rhythm & lead sadly. I've been impressed with how well it works (detecting chords, notes, bends, etc). I guess what comes next is going to depend on how popular the...

I saw that as well ShutterAce, it's NOT an Iwata AB. Odd way to hedge the companies reputation in the "cheaper airbrush" market. In any case, I think I will end up getting a Badger Patriot, ended up finding it on Amazon for $69 with free 2 day shipping (Amazon Prime, it's worth it). Perhaps...

I knew there was a reason I didn't bother much with Guitar Hero, Rock Band, etc... Instead I practiced on a REAL guitar. Now, if you don't play and always wanted to. Great time to start! And if you do play and consider yourself in the beginner, intermediate and even advanced skill level...

I've been looking around for a couple more armor models in 1:72, any recommendations? First preference would be any country for WWI, then Germany in WWII followed by US in WWII. The next couple of kits may decide if I stay with 1:72 or not... Thanks in advance! -CS

I am going to put this into a diorama, I'm thinking of picking up one of those Woodland Scenics landscape kits (the mountain one, probably) and playing around with that. I have another Mark IV (Male version) to put together so perhaps I'll put them both on the same dio. I think I'll be ready...

Thanks for the recommendation RocketSilo, I hadn't looked at this AB previously. I have not been overly happy with how the HF AB performs, but it was cheap and gave me a somewhat decent baseline. I may decide to go with this option rather than a Badger Patriot/105, since it will be about half...

Tanks find mud... or make it. Maybe the top half is too clean? Looks really good to me! -CS

Re: Bad Kitty!! Inspirational work! I have been following along and your commitment to getting the details right is commendable. You really have a great eye for making the model and it's environment look real. Thank you for sharing your process. You have videos on YouTube? -CS

I've been looking at everyone's excellent work, decided to pull out a kit and start it... finally. Took advantage of my daughter's Harry Potter movie marathon. It's a pretty simple kit, close to done with probably about 2 hours total effort. I haven't really put an armor model this small...

Ha, just watched Blade Runner today with my oldest daughter (her first time seeing it). Great movie, book is fantastic too but quite a bit different. Scratchy, your modeling is unbelievable! I am following closely, taking notes. I think I'm going to try to pick up this model, looks like fun.

Looks like my last post was lost... Hmmm, not sure what I did with that. Anyways, the AB is pretty decent but the biggest issue I have right now with it is cleanup. It's a PITA. My next AB must be easier to clean! The cup is pretty leaky too. It just seems like it should be easier to...
