    Still trying.

    Tony, when using DuckDuckGo: when you are on the forum, simply press the three lines at bottom right of your iPhone, then press "Add Favorite". This puts the icon on the Home Screen for the browser, and also adds it to the bookmarks. I don't think you can add it as a home screen as such, as DDG...

    Curtainsider trailer

    Makes sense to use whatever you have to hand. Probably not much different to the weathering powders packaged as model specific

    Quiz time

    I got one wrong. Painful video, had to mute it

    Hello All

    Welcome to the forum James. Just saw your Carpathia model thread. You have some good variety going on with your builds, looking forward to seeing more.

    Dragon 1/72 Apollo 11 recovery with Old 66.

    Stefan, a real beauty mate. The Sea King looks fantastic, I know you battled a bit with it that kit. Well worth the fight, because it's turned out very nicely indeed. The sea scape with the ripples and space equipment is nicely done. A very dramatic and historic moment in time captured superbly...

    Sorry Brian, commentator's curse :censored:

    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    Thanks Jim. The tint looks more pronounced in the photos, especially the runners. The gold tint helps with reducing radar cross section. For a later-Block F-16 the canopies reverted to clear as Night Vision became widespread. The F-22 and F-35 have gold tinted canopies, presumably night vision...

    It's not idea to have a seam at all, but most modern one-piece canopies appear to have one. Must be the way they are moulded.

    Geoffs Airfix 1/48 North American F-86F Sabre.

    Great to see this started Geoff. It's quite a dark plastic in that kit by the looks of it

    I was thinking of ways Jen could combine her hobby with the model kit. No idea what adhesive to use. You could build the model up for her, and Jen could apply the crystals using PVA white glue?

    Cheers Steven. Me too, I get to the point where I just have to take the plunge or I'll worry too much about screwing it up.

    Room / Building temperature affecting paint?

    Your paint woes are most likely caused by the temperature and humidity combination Peter, as Kaci said. Try painting in the morning, cover your work from dust, and avoid touching the paint for a day or so.

    1/35 TAMIYA StuG 1V

    That's a much smoother paint job John, very nice. I still use acrylics and enamels occasionally, but for me the ease of Tamiya and Mr Color paints makes the process a much more pleasant experience. I also use a HP-CS, a great piece of equipment which is like the Toyota Hilux of the airbrush...

    Nick's Airfix 1/72 F14A Tomcat - Geoffers US Icons Group Build

    Off to a good start Nick. The white plastic is very vintage Airfix. The "iconic" 1986 film everyone relates to, but my first memories of the F-14 are from the "Final Countdown". Splash the Zeroes.

    Progressing nicely Nick. Enjoy your road trip :cool:

    Good progress Brian. It's great that you are all tooled up after the Victory, things should be a lot smoother for SOS

    Joe's Academy 1/72 F-16C Thunderbirds

    I have been continuing basic construction of the fuselage, and while that's setting, I decided to tackle the canopy. Like many modern kits, the canopy parts have a seam line running down the middle. I scraped the seam with a fresh blade, then sanded the areas with 1,000 and 3,000 grade...
