Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here... DUPLICATES - LOCKED
Re: Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here...
These photo were taken with my Canon PowerShot A590
Question: How do I set up my Canon PowerShot A590 to take close up of pilots and better photos?
I found my camera and the memory card. it is much easier that waiting for Icloud to sync my photos from my iphoto or plug in my phone and wait...
I borrowed Migrant photo booth, need to get a sheet of paper any suggestion? Heard a fold able laundry bin will do for a photo booth? Any suggest
for a cheap photo booth and need more lighting....

Hello UMAF,
I have a Porter Cable compressor from my mobile bike shop days.... Any idea what fitting/adapter and or hose need to run a air brush?
As i kid it remember having a Testors's Atezk airbrush on canned air. I do not think i develop skill or talent with it. I hand brush everything expect
when i have one solid colour i get a rattle can of tamiya spray paint. My welcome thread has some photos of my recent (it just stated up again a few
months ago) builds and the paint and supplies i have collected so far. Some with the help of my friend Migrant. Very good mentor to have. He build in
competition winning category! As a young boy/teenage I would build Revell kits and use Testor paints. That all my small town of Peace River, Alberta
had! Migrant gave me a Airfix Spitfire and other kits and got a NASCAR car of kijiji free and I was hooked again....
Look forward to seeing some of your model pictures....

Re: Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here...
I bought some supplies for a couple new kits to my stash:
Dark yellow for Kubelwagen
Flat white and Light Blue (Luftwaffe) for my next try at a Where Eagle Dare Ju-52
I used up my first cans up trying to do the "Last Day of Stalingrad" diorama after messing up my first 1/144 build
This is what i am attempting to build:
It did not go well. Someone suggest a "Last Day of Stalinggrad" theme. I try to do a snow-covered Ju-52 that crashed or was damaged in battle in the
last days of Stalingrad

Re: Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here...
For your basic colours like flat white, and flat black, you might want to try generic brands. They work out a lot cheaper

Re: Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here...
Thanks for the suggestion Nigel. I'll remember that for basic colour but for specific colour I think the extra money is worth it for the Tamiya brand.
I started up modeling again since I was a kid, I always used Testor brand paint in my small town many because that is all there was.
I bought a number of Testor enamels to start up the hobby again and was going to buy all my paint in Testors.
Then I found Humbrol and Tamiya spray cans better for hand painting than Testors.
Migrant suggested to buy Tamiya instead of the Testors I start out using as a kid and started to use again.

It's just a fun little thing that changes as you post more and more. It is not a commentary on your abilities as a model builder. Don't get too hung up on it.
Re: Hi Airfix Modellers, Michael here...
So the phrase "Modelling Gent and Scholar" has no relation to there abilities?!
Yes it is a fun little thing and i think you overacted to my post. And misread it.

My bad, then.
It's sometimes difficult to detect tone and humorous intent in text.
Sorry if I offended you.
