Think, for example, of a hovering vehicle that is heavily armored (physical or energetic), carries heavy weapons, can zoom at 200 mph (or more) or crawl at walking speed, can turn on a dime and move in any direction, can reach altitudes of 100 or 1000 feet (or whatever) or a foot off the ground, is...

I was thinking that simply from the mobility aspect, a flying tank might be militarily very useful, even if it did have to sit down to fire. I don't believe that we're ever going to see a situation like that at Kursk again, or even the tank battles of North Africa. I think they're going to be more ...

They don't stock pink/blue foam sheets here in SoCal, and you might find the same up your way Bill. I've even asked my supplier about it and get a blank stare. They don't insulate in California? Go to the local Home Despot or Lowes. Look for this: http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/...

Accusations - Recasting, Fraud, Ripping-Off, etc.
Recasting – the practice of taking someone else’s kit, molding it and casting it and then selling it as your own – is the scourge of this hobby. It’s driven many garage kitters out of production over the years. We do not support recasting . Nor do we support the practice of taking money for products...

To answer the original question: The most common reason for the Aves not setting up rock hard is the proportions of A:B are off. In my experience, they gotta be waaaay off, especially if you are using a big bunch. I have also had issues if I only use very small amounts --- like trying to mix up some...

eBay auctions
Posting links to eBay auctions is just causing too much heartache. So - no more, even if it's your own auction and you want to list it in the trading post.
All threads containing links to an eBay auction will be shut down.

We have decided to enable 'avatars'. These are small pictures you can use to express your personality and are seen in posts under your name. Images used as avatars must be hosted somewhere else on the web. They can be no larger than 80 pixels high by 80 pixels wide at 72 DPI. Please, no animated GIF...

Now that we have upgraded to the latest version of forum software, the previous ban on posting images in posts is rescinded (No images in siglines though - that hasn't changed).

Avatars & Images in Siglines
Avatars: No bigger than 150 x 150 pixels. No animated avatars. Lets use the screen to show off models, not clipart.
Siglines: No images. Period. Not even itty-bitty ones.

And it doesn't melt like plastic does - so drill it if you want to make holes.

Alternatively, you could spray ALCLAD gold over a gloss black base. *That* would give you consistency... You get a chrome shine to it if you first spray gloss black, then several clear gloss coats. ALCLAD does well over Tamiya acrylics, as well as Testors' enamels (but let the undercoats thouroughly...
