When I decide what paint scheme to go for it comes down to available paints and usually I have a much stronger urge to do one of the options, or sometimes I make up a scheme if the options don't appeal to me.

Does anybody know if water washable photopolymer resin works with tamiya glue? Thought that if i get the ol' 3D printer up n running i might make a few figures with this. Couldn't find anything on google about this though.

Although I've not tired it myself I doubt if Tamiya glue will work. On the very rare occasions I've used resin I have used super glue gel.

Yeah super glue basically glues everything. Though i have studied what tamiya glue, photopolymer resin and what kits are usually made of it should melt the photopolymer resin thus glueing it to any kit i would want to glue it to. But what do i know.
When you used super glue did you just use regular store bought super glue or some kind of specialized modeling super glue?

Just the normal cheap stuff. Both the liquid and gel are useful for different tasks.

I think Tamiya glue only works on ABS and polystyrene It will melt some other stuff but it wouldn't weld it. I've also used composite glues on some figures. [img1]

I don't know how you do it. As per usual my teenage self is going through another phase, or at least i hope it is a phase. Building models hasn't been as fun as it used to be recently. Sure i still enjoy it but its not the same. Knowing most of you on this site have at least been building for more than 5 years so i wanted to ask. How do you still find enjoyment in model building after all these years?

So i want to try something different, i want to build a crash. Now even though im still working on my type 97 vs pak40 moc im already planning ahead. Any tips for making a ripped ww2 wing?
9 September, 19:39
gorby
It isn't easy depicting a crash realistically. For example if you want a wing torn off the plastic would be much too thick. The gauge (thickness) of the metal on a Spitfire wing was about 24, which equates to 0.6mm – thinner than paper in 1/48th. I've seen people using aluminium foil, the trick is to blend the foil onto the ripped wing seamlessly. Not easy. Also don't forget there was a whole load of stuff inside the wings, main spar; ribs; fuel tanks; guns & ammo; wheels; wiring etc. So an empty space will just look odd.
Finally, remember that some aircraft weren't covered or made of metal ie. Mosquito was wooden and quite a few were covered in fabric which would have to be done completely differently.

It looks like a Transall C-160 in a smaller scale than your bf-109. Probably an early Heller kit. The decals look like left overs from other kits seeing that this plane is from the 60s and not WWII era.

Alright so for my birthday I got a Creality Halot one plus with 100-240volt 50/60hz 100watt 3D printer but I lost the cable and havent found a replacement on the internet. Why am i telling you this? Because i was looking if someone knew what cable would be fit for it because i know a lot of scale modellers have 3D printers to make new parts and convert kits. Thanks in advance
1 September, 14:48

Happy birthday Kesa, that sound like a great present. Is it the power cable you are trying to replace?
If so, I've just had a look and it looks like it might be what is usually called a 'kettle plug cable'. Google it and see if that looks like it'll fit. Kettle cables are readily and cheaply available online, but check at home first because there may be one in a drawer somewhere. I have a few from old computer devices.

I got it last year and my b-day is on may 15 but thanks lol 🤣
I think i already knew it was a kettle plug cable but as with my laptop too it needs a sort of brick to not overcharge it. Im not really knowledgeable in this area so im just firing blindly

Im actually proud of myself for once. So because im spending so much money on this moc i actually did some research on the tank and anti tank gun. I even watched nigels modeling bench for like two hours for tips and tricks on how to get better (thanks john). I was hoping doing research would make me less nervous but instead now i constantly have a feeling of dread and nervousness, which isnt good because school is starting soon and obviously that makes me more nervous so im just gonna continue doing research in the hopes that fighting fire with a Churchill crocodile works. (For those who didnt get it the Churchill crocodile is a tank with a built-in flamethrower so like fighting fire with fire) i really hope i dont mess this up.

Well i am having fun and i am satisfied with my models, especially my 1:72 F-14A (ill post a pic of it when i get to the city because its a real beauty) my 1:32 F-14A and my latest build the 1:35 challenger II. And about the getting better thing, i have gotten better over the last two years ive been building models. Ive gone from needing help to even build a model to building a model with foggy canopies, glue residue everywhere and broken decals to good(ish) paint jobs, relatively clean builds, good decaling and basic weathering. Im getting better and i know it. But i just cant help the urge to try and be better than everyone else, you know how boys are

relax and enjoy the ride. di not compare yourself with anybody (gorby is right that we had that easier because there was no internet when we statred). remember that most people only publish what looks good, and not all the mistakes before they got to today. what is more important, is to have fun with your builds. sometimes i think i had more fun when I was using paint to cover gaps (instead of putty, sanding....) than in some later builds where i was trying to make something more advanced. have fun and relax. try new techniques, make mistakes, and learn from them, but above all, have fun. at the end this is a hobby, an arr form, and nobody can tell you their work of art us better than yours 😉

If you use it over painted parts, the glue brush can take some molten paint into the jar. Doesn't hurt
