Mmm. Predictable. So let us see a model you have made. Please.

You didn't say model but creation.

Lighters & preparing your own paints is , at least for me, a big turn off.

Lighters are ok for me as i'm smoking maniac. But when it comes to homebrewing that's not a fun for me, i hate all those chemical shit. Do you know where i live? I live in Türkiye, i buy all those modelling stuffs nearly x3 prices of US, plus some products are impossible to find on market

Was that yours? I remember the thread but I don't remember who built what.

 

[urumomo]

Yeah , he was in my very first thread , you named him back then .
That photo above is from years later , during the Der Reiher build .

I have so many empty BiC lighters saved now .
Big Plans !!

I've maden it. İ've been in adventure to find less volatile fuel for my zippo, found it, it screwed my cotton and wick, i replaced them after that while i was refueling my outer case vanished somehow, now i have a Zippo without an outer case.

What do you do with them? Is there a way to fill them with butane tubes?

 

[urumomo]

No , use them for scale model building , sculpture etc

Can we see one of that usages, looks creative, i really wondered

Now that's cool. Pantherman

 

[urumomo]

Thanx !

I evidently uploaded all the pix to Imgur but never replaced the photobucket hosted ones .
Oh well , I guess if photobucket ever actually breaks the links I'll replace them

 

[the Baron]

Yes, I remember, outstanding, Mo!
And mine's still in the box...

I quit Zippo after one leaked into my pocket in like 1988 .

I loved my zippo way back when I used to smoke. But they certainly will leak.

 

[the Baron]

Yeah, Zippos aren't air-tight. I have 2, real Zippos, and the wick will gradually dry out as the fuel evaporates.
