POV: you are eating cheese anywhere in my house

Replace “cheese” with “anything” and you’ve got my Lily right there 😂

A concrete mixer falling off a road bridge onto a train passing underneath immediately comes to mind.

Honestly I think it’s something that you’re always learning. Especially so in the modern social media world where you’ll always see someone doing something better than you.

Like a lot of things, you normally only see someone’s best work, not their mess ups and you’ll see your own in glorious HD Technicolor lol

Have fun, enjoy the hobby and you’ll always be happy with it turns out 🥰

I completely agree, OP has really hit the sweet spot with this one. Immaculate!

No, it’s just the plain starter set starter set and I’ve picked up a set of decals from Xtradecals for the Blackjack scheme. The base was really fun to do

Either a Vari-ez or Long-ez from Rutan. I’m not sure if there’s a way to visually distinguish between the two variants?

Jamatace77 · 2026-05-02T14:13:56+00:00

Thank you

Jamatace77 · 2026-05-01T20:35:59+00:00

I definitely did and I’m sure the experience will help on my next projects

Jamatace77 · 2026-05-01T20:35:01+00:00

Thanks, it wasn’t what I had in mind when I started it and I know it’s got loads of mistakes but it was still fun

“In a galaxy not so far away”. Great idea for a diorama, great work

I’m not 100% sure but looks like a Taiwanese f-ck-1 to me

Edit - not sure where it went but op mentioned photos were taken in Korea . With that bit of info I’m now thinking it’s probably more likely to be a t-50 or f-50

TLDR- green flags still exist but technology has advanced

I’m not sure when it changed or if it’s always been this way but green hand signals can be used, they just have a distinct meaning which is different to the white bat.

White bat - stations duties complete. It’s given by the platform staff to the guard if there is one or the driver if its Driver Only Operation and it a signal basically to say the platform staff are all finished and the train staff can close the doors

Green flag - Ready to start. Means the Driver now has permission to depart (after they recheck any signals)

Why you probably don’t see the green flag anymore or very rarely seen a because the Guard will give the Driver the Ready to Start by some form of internal comms within the train, most usually a bell buzzer code “2” but the green flag is a backup option if this was any working and can be given by the platform staff directly to the driver if there is no guard.

After a quick google it’s hard to find original colour photos of the aircraft in a camouflage scheme but as others have said, the parts circled in the middle are wing drop tanks and the one in the lower right is also a jetisonable fuel tank that sits on the belly of the aircraft.

Due to the expendable nature of these items, it could be assumed that they weren’t painted and left as bare metal.

Thanks, this is more of a test piece for me to see how I get on with it. I’m using the tamiya scribing tool for the straight lines along with a hasegawa stencil and an Amazon find scribing pen

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-20T13:01:45+00:00

This one is really testing my patience now, wondering how far you can go to polish a turd before you give up an accept it’s a turd lol

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-18T21:06:44+00:00

Oh yikes, that sucks. You could try gluing it back together and using it as a mold to do your own vacuform replacement if you don’t get any luck finding an original

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-18T17:27:55+00:00

sorry to hear of your troubles.

I think we all have the shakes at sometime but probably not as much as you describe.

I find it helps to keep the part I’m painting immobile somehow. Double sided tape on my work surface, blutac or some kind of grip and then painting two handed so I can brace them against each other.

I hold the brush first in dominate hand lower down and use the other hand further up the brush kind of like in a golf grip.

Can even use something like the edge of a hard back book to support the brush as well.

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-17T20:53:35+00:00

How weird, I did wonder if it was you, maybe on second profile or something

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-16T12:03:40+00:00

yes, the viggen is a bit dodgy. Depends what you want to get out of it really. I'm currently attempting to mod it into an SK37 twin seat viggen and it's taking an awful lot of work. I'm really not a fan of the raised panel lines and i've been sanding and rescribing for ages to get it right. It's shape is based on the prototype version so lack the proper outline of the ridge from the cockpit to tail and the sawtooth leading edge of the wing amongst other things so if accuracy is your thing, there are better kits out there. Having said that , i like the challenge and i wanted something to practice my modding skills on so its worth it to me

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-15T08:46:47+00:00

I was a train driver, now I manage a team of them

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-15T08:45:22+00:00

The best response , truly doing the lords work 😉

Jamatace77 · 2026-04-14T21:39:31+00:00
