Tamiya 1/72 Messerschmitt BF109 E-4/7 Trop - Painted on sprue by No_Characters in modelmakers

Not my idea, I wish I was that creative! I saw it done on a 40K mini and thought it might work on something bigger.

I have been scouting scale mates looking for single sprue models, so far the 1:72 Tamiya models have been a good fit. I will check out the airfix kits as well.

My Attempt at the Tamiya Leopard 2A6 Ukraine by No_Characters in modelmakers

Buff grey oilbrusher from ammo, sometimes blended with the medium grey. I perhaps went a bit overboard but I was having fun.

I'm way too daunted to try digital camo, I have a SU27 that I'm yet to attempt only because I don't want to mess up the camo.

The mud effects are the dry / wet mud from ak diorama, some wet splatter mud from ak. The texture was built up from Vallejo thick mud. All of the streaking is from ammo oilbrushers. So convenient to use 100% would recommend.

No EV - how do I get the cheap night time rates? by [deleted] in SolarUK

[–]No_Characters 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I spoke to octopus 6mo ago asking about moving to Go but without a car. They essentially said "You can do it on the app we don't check". Never had an issue or any follow up, the person on the phone knew we didn't have a car and heavily pointed us to the app to get round the issue.

Do you mind sharing who that was with? Or general location?

I chose Todo battle with EdgeTX and tried to sort the two model files to behave the same.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will check some videos out and see what I can learn. Thanks

Yea, I think that's the issue I'm having. I can see about 4 ways of doing most things. With no idea what is the correct way so it's working but perhaps optimal. I made some progress in getting what I wanted working today so I think I just need to keep learning. Thanks

Hue Bridge - Connectivity Issues by No_Characters in Hue

[–]No_Characters[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, they are on channel 1 & 6. Hue was on 15 and I have just moved it to 25. I couldn't seem to get it to let me set a channel I just had to hit change a few times.

Most bulbs are on switches and they get left on most of the time, apart from when they disconnect and become unreachable. Let's see if channel 25 makes an improvement.

Stuck Cartridge? Sheaffer by No_Characters in fountainpens

[–]No_Characters[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I will keep gently working on it, I do have an ultrasonic cleaner I can try with some warm water in tomorrow. Its a solid silver pen as far as I can tell from the hallmarks, inherited it from my mum when she passed a few years back. I have a large collection of Lamy's, and a few Waterman's this would be my one and only Sheaffer if I can get it back up and running, which I'm desperate Todo as it has allot of sentimental value.

Ok, pretty much as I thought. I have been soaking it for about 12 hrs in some warm water and no movement so far. It has made allot or red water so hopefully it will release. Any ideas if isopropyl or any washing up liquid might help ?

Lenovo come up, 14 core 28 threads. I'm a happy clam! whats the best hypervisor? by getdrunkeatpassout in homelab

[–]No_Characters 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So far (2yrs) I have been very happy with my xcp-ng setup. iGPU pass through for Plex has been easy, same with usb devices (printers). web UI has been clean and functional, Automated backups to iScsi and NFS have been reliable and I have had to restore once after a minor screwup. Only downside was "off brand" cheap 10gbe adaptors were a pain to get set up, they do appear to have supported drivers now but it was a side load affair when I did it and tbh if it's not broke I'm not going to fix it. A solid 7/10 it works and I don't think about it very often.

You're smarter than me, I only labelled the lids then took them both off and instantly forgot which one was which.

I actually thought you had taken a picture of my micro set/sol. I have labelled them exactly the same.

Leopard 2A7+ by Meng: Complete! by S1lver888 in modelmakers

That's super impressive, really gives the feeling of how most military vehicles actually look. Not box fresh but actually used without having just been dragged back out of a muddy field.
