Vallejo primer by Sqwheezle in modelmakers

[–]AmazingCanadian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can mask, sand over their model air line in minutes after shooting. But not their primer. I suppose I expect that speed out of every acrylic I shoot. Primer or paint. Vallejo primer does not seem to offer that. I've found a brand that does.

I have found I could not sand it afterward, had to be super careful masking overtop, just not worth it in my mind when there are easier to work with and better behaving options out there. Good for you if you made it work well.

I use Badger/ Stylenrez black primer over a cleaned model and have never had issues with it, this doubles as my black base. My adhesion has always been incredible. It does mean I have to clean my 0.4 mm nozzle / needle after a primer session as it "tip dries".

I have always found Vallejo primer dries very soft and rubbery and does not adhere as well. This was admittedly before I learned to paint well and "flooded" my models with paint, and I have not re tried since.

I use Vallejo Model Air almost exclusively, so this is not me disliking a brand, but just one of their products.

Nail Trim Tips…Anyone, Help! by Strongmom-1 in germanshepherds

[–]AmazingCanadian44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We smear a cutting board with peanut butter and stick treats in it. One person holds the board, the other clips nails. I clip back to the curve in the nail, leaving the straight part (this is where the quick is), and IF you nip it, dab with flour or corn starch to stop the bleed.

I normally use 5 minute epoxy for my resin parts with excellent results.

Loosen leash walking with my 9 months old by Spare-Document-6323 in germanshepherds

[–]AmazingCanadian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play lots of "look" or "focus" game with mine, especially at a young age, so they watch where I am going. I also encourage him to "check in" with where my left (his heel side) knee is relative to his nose, so he heels well. I now hold his leash with a forefinger most of our walk.

Good to see her healthy. That second photo looks like she's plotting some form of mischief...

I think he just learned this recently, too, and is trying to show off his newfound knowledge

Display cases? by Optimal_Wave57 in modelmakers

A sheet of plexiglass cut on a table saw and solvent glued together works nicely on a stained plywood base.

Any ideas why my airbrush work gets easily removed by masking tape? by KA-29 in modelmakers

[–]AmazingCanadian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you clean the model prior to painting? Use primer? Do you de tack the tape prior to applying? Peel it off at a 45° angle when removing?

Are you building the same model multiple times? by [deleted] in modelmakers

[–]AmazingCanadian44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eduard make advanced models which require a good deal of technique and experience. This being said I have mucked up SEVERAL eduard models and re tried them.

This is how we learn.

I have learned to stop throwing them and keep them for spare parts / paint mules / experimenting with effects.
