Nice! For African skin tones, I follow the reverse sequence that I follow for Caucasians. For Caucasian skin, I lay down my light color, my base skin tone, then add shadows, and highlights. For African, I lay down the darker color as my base, and then add my lighter colors-like on the face, the...

Those are nice; they have a sleek look to them. Could you add more shelves if you wanted to?

That's what admins are for. It's an enhancement request for whomever is responsible for maintaining the site.

I disagree. Albums have their value, especially if you have a large number of images with a common theme. A thread works, but it will eventually get pushed down by newer posts, and the other thing is that you will likely get replies interspersed with your posts of images in that thread. Also...

Outstanding build, Doc!

It's specifically aerosols (see the earlier post on the first page), the rattlecans, and not Tamiya's jars of paint. The cans in the stores are probably existing stocks. From the notice that Tamiya posted, it sounds like it covers shipment of new stock. It's not clear if merchants were directed...

"Reply" probably ought to labeled "Quote".

I recommend that book highly, especially for new modelers. There are newer books, of course. But Shep's goal was to make things less mysterious and show that a modeler of basic experience and skill could gain experience and stretch that skill, with a little imagination. I recommend his book on...

Good habit to have, in all cases.

Ah, Ernst Udet's mounts! Who makes this kit, Ed?

Yeah, I dabble in woodworking, too, and it can be like a larger scale model build. If there is Advanced Modeler Syndrome in scale modeling, there is Advanced Workworker Syndrome, too. The display cabinet I mentioned in an earlier post has been sitting in progress in my garage for at least 10...

Welcome, BB! Time to start posting your builds ;) I look forward to seeing your work! Best regards, Brad

This is the Ikea "Fabrikor" cabinet I've been watching: https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fabrikoer-glass-door-cabinet-black-blue-00363171/ It also comes in an off-white, though I don't think Ikea has it listed right now. I like the retro look, like something from the 30s or 40s, and it's small...

Nice find, Phil!

That's a nice cabinet, and I agree with you, that's a good buy. If I had to, right now, I would not regret buying that one. But I also agree with you, there are a lot of others for sale, too. I think you'll find something that fits what you're looking for.

Welcome to the Herd, Moose! Yeah, I have the same problem, buying kits. And I'll never finish the ones I have, nor have space to display them. I look forward to seeing those builds of yours! Best regards, Brad

Sorry, but could you clarify the dimensions you mean? Are those in feet, inches, etc? If you mean feet, then $30 for a cabinet that is nine feet by four feet by four feet sounds pretty good. If it's inches, thirty bucks might be a little dear, but it could depend on the materials used, too...

Excellent suggestions, PJ!

Five to ten thousand bucks is a bit much. At those prices, it'd better be Norm Abram building it for you. I'm pretty certain you'll find something less expensive than that, but you might have to look at second-hand sources. For example, if you're on Facebook, the Marketplace can be a good...

So you mean that you want to use white glue to tack parts together, to disassemble it later and then assemble the model more permanently? Basically that's test-fitting. Some people will use tape to hold parts together temporarily, or poster tack/poster putty. Why not? I've never done it, but...
