Using Green Stuff World Paint.

I use Molotow Chrome pens for my chrome work. After applying to part or kit, leave alone for a week to let it cure. The dow

Fine Scale Modeler…that rag and the liberal mods (Aaron and Tim) running the forums there. Pathetic site. Been banned there not once, not twice, but three times.
FSM magazine isn't what it used to be anymore. Same old, same old every issue…

Molotow chrome isn't very good. Maybe for tiny parts like knobs and switches, but thats about it. GSW and SMS chrome paints are so much better.

And I am sorry you feel that way about Aaron and Tim. I am good friends with both of them. Say what you want about the magazine but they are good people.

I could be wrong, but I suspect the GSW Chrome is essentially nearly the same thing as the Molotov Chrome pens, but it easier to use for painting?

IIRC, they are both alcohol based. Not sure about the drying time though. The GSW stuff dries fairly quick

I agree with Molotow. Very sensitive and prone to fingerprints left behind in parts. They're great for Oleo struts on aircrafts.

The trouble with Aaron and Tim is their style of moderating forum posts. They're the worse liberal snowflakes who rather side with the sheep than listen to the wolves (older folks like me who speak the brutal, honest truth). They hate listening to sensible logic. Everything offends them. Even the Confederate flag on the General Lee or the Nazi symbol on a German flag on the Bismarck or WW2 German ship offends them.

Tell Aaron and Tim BlackSheep says hello. ROFL!!!

Aaaaaaand thats where you lost me.

A scale model forum isn't the place for that.

GSW put together my order pretty damn quick. Shipped out $100 worth of paint in a day.

No.… when I got banned the first time, no political subject was mentioned.

When I got banned a second time, no political subject was mentioned.

And on the final third time I got banned, no political subject was mentioned. Not even religion, sexual orientation, attack on a member, was mentioned. NOTHING!
No member over at FSM is allowed to express their own opinion. Heck…I've called out on GMorrison (their self-appointed forum police) so many times even Aaron and Tim REFUSES to step in to stop it.

The one reason they banned me is because they're all about protecting everybody's feelings than to those having a voice and being told to shut up. Sounds like typical woke/cancel culture/far left liberal bleeding hearts.

I've noticed the forums isn't as active as they once were for the last few years. Problems with pop ads is never ending. When I first joined, it was never an issue until recently. Their tech guys can't figure out how to stop it except tell members get an pop ad block app. Why? Kalmbach should be fixing the problem instead of relying on members getting an app to stop the problem.

Some left for greener pastures and better participation without someone's feelings getting hurt. Some are still around but don't post as much as they used to. Only a small handful are still posting because they're trying to keep it afloat. Missleman, oldtankerguy - harmless fella who likes to babble on endlessly, and others.

Time for you to wake up and take a good look around in forums and in real life. The wolves are getting hungry…
