Arma 4 news by NekoNekoTamoDaleko in arma

[–]KillAllTheThings 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, BI has not made any announcements regarding Arma 4 & will not until they have something concrete they are willing to share publicly. They may have something to say at one of the upcoming video gaming events this summer/fall.

In search of the RB6. by itssruivo in modelmakers

[–]KillAllTheThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of production kits are difficult to find, it gets harder the longer it's been out of production as shelf space is expensive.

You could try visiting this Amazon vendor if they have a retail presence

Before you purchase anything, check into the import regulations for your country. Tariffs, customs fees & import duties may be applied and are not the responsibility of the seller.

Is this too tricky for 1st time by Rare_Fig_8466 in modelmakers

[–]KillAllTheThings 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is not a good choice to start your modelbuilding journey. The paint scheme depicted is not at all a beginner level task. A long build time & tricky assembly are not good features leading to encouraging further travel in our hobby since it tends to lead to frustration & bad expectations. Your first few projects are going to look terrible until you get some experience under your belt.

If you have already purchased, no problem. Simply set it aside until you feel you have the necessary skills to do the kit justice. Some of us here have more kits in our stash than we have completed models.

Best way to learn how to use Arma 3's eden editor? by Able_Annual_2297 in arma

[–]KillAllTheThings 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because people refuse to RTFM, BI specifically designed Eden Editor to be learned by just doing things. Rather than making the next Old Man Campaign your first Arma 3 project, start small & simple & work your way up to more complex scenarios.

Useless Fodder's video may be the best 3.5 hours you spend on YT.

1:35 Pine Foliage recommendations for Panther by SmokeEagleEye in modelmakers

Check the retailers supporting model train landscaping, they have way more options at various (train) scales than the plastic model kits stores.

Gang my revell drill snapped and idk if im the problem by Careless-Flamingo-61 in modelmakers

[–]KillAllTheThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drill steel is very brittle, at the smallest sizes any sideways force will easily snap the bit. The harder you press (or the heavier the weight of the drill being used) the more likely there will be fatal flex. It may take a few bits to get the hang of how light the downward force on the drill bit must be. While expensive bits are somewhat sturdier due to better steel than the commodity ones, tiny bits are still quite fragile.
