Michael KohlVery fine street segment. Thanks for the link to the german manhole covers. They caught my attention too. Now it needs a more modern german car. I doubt that the Benz vehicle will do. And a figure of course. 🙂

bughunterAfter the wings was painted with satin coat to protect the decals I could realize my idea for which Alec has been waiting! Maybe some others too?
I had read somewhere that the position of the bracing on this model is incorrectly marked. Think again, when I leafed through the original manual I saw small windows to enable the check of control linkages etc instead of rigging points!
If Eduard has already realized the pulleys under windows so nicely on the Camel wings, something should work here too.

bughunterWow Robert, you were very fast while I'm uploading and adding a description to the pics! Welcome!
That is not really a WIP album yet, but I made an experiment on a left over Pfalz wing to reach to look of the colored profile painted again by Ronny Bar:
Primed gray, added Semi Matt Aluminium, masked and painted two crosses.
The dark red at the front will be a different story ...
Then I tried different highly thinned blue paints. H322 was not bad, but do not cover the black cross, or only with very much paint. But I'm happy after adding a drop of light gray to the paint mix.

bughunterWelcome Ricardo!
In principle, this will be a replica of my last project, as it is the same kit, with some slight differences. And a different painting 🙂

bughunterFolks, please use a mask with a filter when airbrushing! I only work with a paint booth with extraction, but still wear a mask. This week I changed the filters and it was amazing how many colour particles were in the pre-filter for dust! I'm glad they're not in my lungs now 👍
7 27 July, 14:00
bughunterYes Ben, you shuold. Really. No joke!
Even though my airbrush booth extracts 3 cubic metres of air per minute, I can see in the sunlight under my roof window that vortices form when the airflow from the airbrush hits surfaces. These vortices transport pigments that would be inhaled in the area in front of the booth.
29 July, 11:10
Robin (WhiteGlint)Yes, definitely always wear a mask. I remember when I didn't have my paint booth, how often I had to change my filters....
The booth helps but I can still see that there's pigments in the dust filter over a longer period of time. I wish I could extract it directly like you do bughunter but my room setup does not allow it. But at least in summer I can keep the windows open for ventilation and use an air purifier if necessary.

bughunterI got an answer from ICM regarding the wheels - the concavity were intended to feature the "Ford" inscription. However, due to manufacturing constraints, they were unable to replicate the inscription, resulting in a slightly larger hole.

Christoph KunzI only have "Discussions / Reviews / Community activities" under Activity, but no "Spam reports". Somebody can explain me why?
18 February, 19:10
bughunterThat comes only into the list, if there is at least one spammer reported and wait for votes. If the spammer is kicked with enough votes the list entry is gone.
It is the same principle as with other filterings here - a empty element is not shown (e.g. if you filter for "Propeller" in "Category", the only "Aircraft" is displayed in "Group" as all other entries has 0 elements.
BTW: this album is used to explain my reports in "Feature requests". Many of them are fixed, so maybe I should delete those pics.

Lochsa RiverBigger photos? New photos at a larger size or replacements of the originals with higher resolution versions?
I am looking to try and find out what the largest size SCM supports natively without compression so I will upload at that setting for speed and website surfing.
7 February, 12:04
bughunterWow, thank you mates for your wonderful comments!
Lochsa, I replaced the pictures by the identical one in identical order, only with higher resolution. I noticed that I have made higher resolution pictures for the Eduard Info journal last year (Eduard requested a higher resolution), so I uploaded them here too.
The new default size is now 2160 x 1440 pixels (3:2 format), with that size you avoid a black border. This was discussed a while ago in feature requests (see SCM Newsfeed ) as Scalemates is prepared for higher resolution screens. I think there are smaller pictures delivered to mobile devices (automatically done). If you use smaller size you get a warning in "Manage" album as the Teaser button will be red and not green.
Yes, that information should go into the FAQ.
I would like to replace at least the final album of my older projects by better photos. I still have the original pictures so this is possible, but that's a lot of effort editing all the images again.
