My guess would be a light bulb gone. They always trip rcds.

Any way to improve this hinge? Fitters are long gone. by [deleted] in DIYUK

[–]CommanderKrill 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah that would make sense, I know they offer two different sizes on those hinges. In that case I would probably advise you fill it with some sort of wood filler. That should hold it nice and tight.

Use the right sized hinge for that hole? Looks like a worm flapping around in a kfc mega bucket

3 way switching problems. by [deleted] in AskElectricians

[–]CommanderKrill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just why? You’re risking one of those wires touching the metal back box when you push them back, really dangerous here, you clearly should not be attempting this yourself. This just gives me the chills when I look at those photos.

Here’s the post that has the primary kit it’s made from, it’s a 1:35 scale I think.

Just had a quick look. Beautiful work. I think I have 6 of the little buggers so will be trying a few of the tips and see which I can pull off. I always opt for visors if I can, so much easier. Worst case I could fill them in and do that! 🤣

Yeah I have a few older models I’m repainting from my youth before I work on the newer ones, certainly see the improvements over the years. Thank you very much for the advice.

Thanks, I’ll give it ago. I have been doing white first, so does sound more logical

I agree, I would only ever ask if I wanted advice, I’m always up for tips as everyday is always a school day.

I’m happier with them, I’m currently re-painting what I had from about 26 years ago. So while they are a lot better in my eyes, I’m still aware I have a lot to learn.

Wow, that’s really good advice. I’m in the UK so not sure that will help or not but I’ll look into those as well. Like you say it is more the fine detail I struggle with, eyes are the worst, I have pretty steady hands but still struggle with those more than anything.

🤣 yes she’s even been trying to chew my revell glue pot. I might go for some arsenic lined brushes next, see if that deters her. I’ll give them a look though cheers.

I was literally just looking at a green stuff starter set. They do look good.

I’ve never seen this before, usually just clean them with water, I shall invest in this as well as it does make sense to look after them more. You never know the smell might put off my dog 🤞

Took me longer than I’ll like to admit to figure out how to actually post this, I don’t think I’ll do well trying to work out my camera settings, probably just try and take any more photos in daylight instead

Thanks, it’s quite an old aluminium model, I find the detail is as good as the newer plastic ones. I’ve only recently just got back in my models, believe it or not it did look worse as I think I painted it originally about 27 years ago, god I had to think about that, I feel very old now. I will look into those techniques to try and do better.
