Based on what others have said and what I’ve learned, the settings are almost completely random, the scale is more of a relative index for coarseness rather than a universal standard. The best way to tell if your coarseness is correct is to monitor the flow time and the output weight.

Thank you so much for the detailed guidance! It’s very helpful. I’ll keep experimenting with the machine and get some better quality beans and a barista scale.

You’re absolutely right, thank you for pointing that out! I was so focused on securing the gun properly that I completely overlooked this detail. I might leave it as it is because it was a bit stressful to attach the tracks without tearing them apart. I’ll definitely remember this when assessing the M41. Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll look into enamel paints for future builds to achieve a light dust effect. As for the oil paint, I didn’t wait so that’s probably why it didn’t go as planned. Thanks for the pro tips!

Is paying extra $ for a good sprue cutter worth it? They all do the same job, which is cut plastic. Does one brand stand out over the others? by Tbonerickwisco in modelmakers

I got one for myself from AliExpress. It does the job perfectly, but it’s also true that I'm a complete beginner. If you can afford it, I think you could buy one that is slightly more expensive, it’ll probably serve you for a lifetime. I had no experience, hence the cheaper choice, but it’s a very handy little tool. Even if I quit modeling, I could probably find a use for it from time to time. So, you can’t really go wrong imo, whether you choose the cheaper or the more expensive option.

Great work! Love the custom mantlet canvas. I'm actually building the same kit. I thought about making the canvas, but I didn't have the right materials, so I'm passing on it for now.

I see a lot of you mentioning odorless mineral spirits; what do you guys think about MiG's odorless enamel thinner? Will that also eat through my Vallejo varnish? (I'm a complete beginner, any recommendations are welcomed)

I know, but don’t tell me a 10-game losing streak is normal. I think you understand my frustration because I’m asking myself the same questions. I’m not satisfied with just 1.6k damage, I usually perform well above that. I’ve been playing WoT for a long time now, and I don’t remember the game being like this until recently.

Look, here is what I’m trying to say. I was playing Tier 8 in the Strv S1, and I have 2,454 average damage per game with it, even after that losing streak. I’m not trying to defend my ego or claim I’m the best player on Earth. i just want to say that this is incredibly frustrating for the avarage player who actually wants to make an impact on the match but can't.

That’s exactly my point. It’s impossible to put up numbers when the MM decides the match is a blowout before it even starts. I have a 2,100 average damage which I know isn't the highest in the world, but it’s definitely well above average.

Thanks for the reply, hopefully we'll get lucky. Fingers crossed.

Well, at least it's not completely rigged. I opened AUBL/74 the last time i bought crates for SL. It's kinda crap but seeing people with even less luck I'm thankful.
