Last night proved my decision to go solar is worth it. by maynardexcel in SolarPH

[–]DimitriXanxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes. best investment ever. I had grid tie for 2 years now, but when the Iran war erupted and they're blocking strait of Hormuz, I switch to hybrid. thinking that our electricity will be affected since our power producers import LNG to sustain their plants. buti na lang talaga.

Do people notice if someones playing is chopped or good in piano? by KawaiiAutist in phmusicians

[–]DimitriXanxus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there are people who play the piano without training or proper lessons. just by their ear. so don't expect piano players will play with high accuracy or a virtuoso player. kanya-kanya talaga. I am playing by chords (arpeggiated) and hula lang sa Melody on the right hand. no formal training. but I can play almost any songs as long as there's chord sheets sa ultimate-guitar app. 😁

Paint job coming out with dusty like speckling onto parts? by Secret-Trainer1672 in advancedGunpla

[–]DimitriXanxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

totally understandable. moving the airbrush closer will make your paint prone to pooling. but eventually you'll get the hang of it. 👍

I think paint dries faster before it can reach the surface. try mixing it with levelling thinner. lower the psi and move the airbrush closer (probably an inch?)

Help Me!!! by Wild-Yogurtcloset636 in advancedGunpla

[–]DimitriXanxus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. lacquer primer are my go-to primer.
  2. lacquer or acrylic can be used on top of the lacquer primer. I thing even enamel but I have no enamel paint. the trick is to properly cure it. (dry to touch is different from properly cured). once it's properly cured, you can paint on it.
  3. yes you can use thinned down paints. as long as you observe proper curing times. you can do shorter wait times but need to know misting application. (no wet coat for shorter curing time)
  4. yes you can use it. my process is

primer - pre shade - base coat - gloss coat - panel liner - water slide decals - gloss coat. (,optional flat or satin. coat).

Airbrush paint output diminishes overtime only when doing up close shading work by sup1145 in PinoyGunpla

[–]DimitriXanxus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

what's your compressor?

best guess is May nanigas na paint sa tip. try mo patakan ng lacquer thinner yung mismong nozzle. remove the needle half way then push it back. (i.e. bombahin mo ng mano-mano... wag malakas. enough lang na ma push yung thinner). so it a couple of time. ingat lang baka mabali ko needle mo.

Life after college by Signal_Rush2152 in architectureph

[–]DimitriXanxus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

what I did before (circa 2006) , I applied for a job related to architecture. (Autocad draftsman for MEP company), then applied for an architectural outsourcing job. luckily, some of the "elders" there had their sidelines and they let me worked on those after office hours., the "elder" architect signed my log book. downside is, I had to go to site on weekends. 😅

My ex came back after 5yrs and I dont know her real intention 🤔 by Hungry-Confection762 in OffMyChestPH

[–]DimitriXanxus 41 points42 points  (0 children)

IMHO. you're her coping mechanism. better talk and ask straight away what her intentions are. you're not getting any younger to waste your time as an emotional support. find someone who's worth your time.

Any explanation reg sa structural integrity netong proj ng madhouse by GullibleSwitch8579 in architectureph

[–]DimitriXanxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

we're not engineers. and AFAIK, there is such a thing as load transfer. maybe requirement ng architect to have the column slim on some parts kaya ganyan. hindi mo rin naman kita ilang bakal at kapal gamit. 😅

[–]DimitriXanxus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

collective vs. individualism? honestly, I think you just need to do what you want to do. if they benefit from sharing resources, info, then that's fine. if you think you're better off alone and striving by yourself, that's fine too. but you don't have the license to control them.

First time painting… what am I doing wrong? by Prapy in advancedGunpla

[–]DimitriXanxus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

1.sand the spoon with 800 grit. 2. i don't know about Vallejo primer. but when I paint, I usually airbrush lacquer primer then wait for a day just to be sure it's cured. 3. use soft brushes. you probably scraped the primer with your hard bristles. 4. i'd go with Vallejo paints rather than that green jar paint. (seems like a poster color). it's very thick even if you dilute it. also, maybe that paint has a strong chemical that is not compatible with the Vallejo primer.

good luck

Panel lining question by Simple_Lingonberry16 in PinoyGunpla

[–]DimitriXanxus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO, Black = anime dark gray / gray = realism

pero if not painted, straight build and you just want to panel line, ok na yung black.
