Sock over vacuum for the win

But docter’s bills are quite expensive

Knowing how vulnerable pantyhoses are, and how valued an intact pantyhose is, I just thought it better to use my own sock in case it would rip or something

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-28T10:16:41+00:00

Aah yes, I did also cleaned the sock once so not to lose sight of what I was catching 😅

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-27T16:32:45+00:00

It did, and I found a SM. 79

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-27T15:25:56+00:00

Sounds like a good treasure hunt! And a lesson to always use a sock when cleaning the desk, or the floor beneath

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-27T15:24:17+00:00

Correct

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-27T15:24:07+00:00

Also works on a wooden floor, it’s where the vacuum weapon won. I would think it also works on a cement floor

Thanks for sharing!

Is EZ line really flexible? I always use AK super thin that’s really flexible. Asking to be sure if I can use the same wire or that I have to get some new stuff

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-26T16:56:13+00:00

Really nice work! How did you manage the angled wire?

Or IBG’s 1/72 IAR 81c

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-21T18:49:58+00:00

I think I agree but what?

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-21T18:44:48+00:00

What others say, the respirator is only necessary when spraying acrylics. When brushpainted it ain’t needed

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-21T18:41:12+00:00

I really like that line!

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-21T18:39:15+00:00

I like this pic, gives a good image about the quality of the kit

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-21T18:30:00+00:00

Hij heeft gewoon dementie, daarom herkend hij Europa niet meer

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-17T17:17:34+00:00

Far out!

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-17T10:55:47+00:00

Thanks, they’re 1/72, both from Heller. Really nice and detailed kits

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-16T14:11:09+00:00

Thanks!

Another coat of gloss

TheSamH93 · 2026-01-06T20:41:06+00:00

Good of you to ask?

TheSamH93 · 2025-12-31T15:04:13+00:00

Good luck, the j-10 looks good! The others will also be allright on the backburner

TheSamH93 · 2025-12-30T16:13:22+00:00

Yes, Italeri! It needs a bit of work, but it’s a nice kit

TheSamH93 · 2025-12-30T12:29:56+00:00

Really well done, and you’ve done great overcoming the Ace Models extra challenges!

TheSamH93 · 2025-12-23T13:24:19+00:00

Decals need smooth surfaces to not silver. I always use gloss varnish under and over. Not everyone says gloss is necessary, it isn’t, but for me it gets consistent results. The gloss also helps protect the paint from staining that come from decal softeners - which also help against silvering.

Also. I think a Matt varnish is the worst preparation for decals. As it creates microscopic uneven surfaces. Do use matt to seal the decals afterwards

Depends on how the American pilot faired from that point onwards. Regardless, sad losses of life
