    Tamiya AS color conversion chart for mixing Tamiya acrylics

    Hey folks I'm just interested to know if anyone has or knows of a chart showing which Tamiya Acrylics to mix to match their AS colors. Thanks ahead of time to anyone that may know. I know I can decant but I'm not interested in having to do that if I can just mix the colors with paint I already...

    Anyone else watch this after school as a yute? Man I did along with Johnny Socko and his flying robot. https://pluto.tv/en/search/details/series/5fab1057fd17cc001a009eec/season/1

    A1J Skyraider complete

    I finally got this Skyraider finished. A few snafus but overall I really like how it turned out. This was my first foray into a tri color camo scheme and at painting a camo pattern without masking. I'm pleased with how it turned out. This kit came with an abundance of ordinance and I am glad...

    Mig Metal Acrylics

    Just wondered if anyone has tried the Mig metal acrylic paints and if so how'd they perform. I just ordered a bare metal 4 paint set of them to try out.

    Starlink

    Just got the new starlink internet and if any of you are very rural like myself and stuck with Hughes net for service I highly recommend getting the Starlink. You have to get yourself on the waiting list, ours took 9 months to arrive. Now we are waiting for a pole to put it on and a longer cord...

    Iwata Neo

    Just received my Iwata Neo and all I can say is wow. Did a spray test and it puts my Iwata eclipse to shame. I can now spray at 10 psi no problem and spray really nice thin lines much thinner than I could get with the eclipse at 15 psi which is as low as I could ever get it to spray reliably no...

    Why do we?

    I just have to put this out there. Why do we as modellers spend painstaking time painting small detailed interior parts of models that will never be seen once the model is complete? I currently am trying to break myself of that habit, but yet I find myself doing it on my current build. Is it...

    Life in the Ozarks

    We are blessed to have an abundance of wildlife all around us and I just had to share this pic of our latest visitor. He actually showed up with 7 other deer which have all wandered by in smaller numbers all year. We have a doe that has been raising her twin offspring( the second photo) and...

    In a funk

    Man this sucks. I cannot get myself to sit down and work on anything right now. I typically take short breaks of a few days to a week in between builds but I've never shut down in the middle of a build and I can't seem to shake it. Been going on since a day or two before Thanksgiving. I've tried...

    Vallejo Paints

    Okay I cannot bite my tongue on this. I like Vallejo paints for their ease to use a brush with but for the love of God. German field gray is Green and deep sea green is gray. This does not make sense to me at all.

    Hobbylinc Georgia

    Just wondering if anyone is aware if Hobbylinc in Georgia is having problems. I haven't been able to access their website for a couple of days and their contact number can't even offer support right now. I hope this crazy world hasn't ended their business.

    Diorama WIP

    Getting started on my next diorama and I thought I'd try doing a WIP post. I had a sudden thought pop in my head to do a continuation of the Sniper Dio for some reason so I'm giving it a go. So far I have a partial form of a building and hundreds of little foam bricks to paint. I won't get into...

    Sniper! Diorama

    Finished one today. I call this "Sniper!". The Nazi's are on a hasty retreat using booby traps, machine gun teams, and snipers to slow down the Allied advance. Unfortunately today Pvt Replacement met up with a sniper when his squad was on recon of a small town the Nazi's had recently vacated. As...

    My Aircraft Builds

    Just wanted to share a few aircraft builds I enjoyed doing upon return to the hobby in 2018 this one is Brewster Buffalo I really enjoyed building. It wasn't an aircraft I was familiar being in the early arsenal but it's a Midway build and those Marines gave it their best. I paint with Tamiya...

    Question for Armor guys.

    U.S. WWII armor. Were the tools the same color as the armor? I've seen builders do both and I have had a hard time finding photos of clean wwII tanks in action. The dust covers everything and it's hard to tell.

    AK Worn Effects test on first tank build

    Just got to the point I could put my paint mule tank together so I can start the learning process with armor. Today I practiced with AK Worn Effects and I gotta say I really like the stuff. I know I can use hairspray but this AK stuff doesn't even smell so my nose tells me stick with it. I got a...

    Summer...my least favorite season rant.

    Man I have been so hindered by the heat this month I cannot wait for Summer to be over. Tired of sweating, tired of mowing grass especially the weed whacking part, tired of ticks, chiggers, and whatever else seems to leave me scratching myself raw from itchy bug bites, and the heat makes it...
