Nothing other that Trek? No thanks.

There's enough sticky things around here.

My name is Jimi, and I approve this message.

So this will be twenty-eight. Maybe a real blow out for the 30th anniversary? Wonderfest would be the perfect get together. You'd do better lobbying for it than I, being a more regular attendee, but it is a good idea. I'm going to the Nationals next year, (first time, finally) but aim to make WF in...

Am I late?

Aaaaannnnd, I'm out. Just too much crap over the last month or two. Not feasible this year. TheJimi has a sad.

Wait... Who the smeg are you?!?!

As an old school Marantz lover( I had an old 2226b) I am going to tell you to please don't try this as your first ever experiment, please PM me a picture, and send me the part to do it. I won't even charge you.

Of course TheJimi is scheduled to appear. 3 days only, I'm not responsible for what happens in your selfie with me.

Congrats to all that got in.

Alas, again, not one of .JPG's kits made it. C'mon people, pick up the pace! LOL

When I use them, I just use the back side.

Of course=my most successful experiments depend on the predictability of human behavior. Now, gaze in awe on this fully armed and operational DUAL QUOTE VORTEX MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Sir! You dance with the very fabric of time and space itself! On a regular basis, yes. I take reality and TWER...

Broke the site.

Well, pseudo broken lol

.JPG will be bringing a big YUGE BIGLY bin full of resin parts and miscast as a donation to the greeblie table.

Ah, 144. I have seen people use spray adhesive and stretched pantyhose or stockings to create the honeycomb or grid effect.

It's called "Kool Shade." And the accurate stuff is pretty rare. Some people have resigned to using the window screen material out of their houses.

Wow, you have GOT to post pictures of the fixed part. Miracle Worker, you must be...

Regular old Super Glue will work for most plastic, resin, glass, and Metal materials. If you are using styrene from model kits, then you have to use model glue, which will not stick to those other surfaces. Your best bet for an all-around adhesive for everything will be the two-part epoxy stuff you ...

I would not recommend Sketchup, either. While it's easy to draw boxes, etc. in Sketchup, getting a dimensionally correct (and connected) complex object is very difficult. Also, their STL export is primitive (through a plug-in) and mesh repair options are also primitive. Again, what's your time &...

What scale B wing is it? 24, 48, or 72?

My advice would be to try to contact whoever cast the kit. I think maybe it was Ed Holt but I am not sure. Once you find the caster, ask him if he is able to do what is called a "slush cast" for you. He might have to get permission from Al or whoever owns the rights to the kit, and it migh...

They will stay in your "Outbox" until the recipient reads them. When they read them, it will move your message into the "Sent Messages" folder. You're fine.

Any one know any where to get 1 sheet of custom decals printed? I have the image ready to go, just need a good vendor that won't charge the earth. I know you can get decal paper to do it yourself, but I want a quality print done, and my printer isn't up to the task, as I've tried and failed. UK pre...

I saw something similar a few years ago. I tried a sample kit of it, and it did not work out for resin casting. Only because this stuff melt's when it gets warm, and resin hears as it cures.

Inline images are awesome. Can I ask that pictures in signature lines still be banned, and please, no picture "quote vortexes"...

Not studio scale, but big nonetheless... http://www.modelermagic.com/?p=89268
