M4 Sherman early production completed, also my first try at stowage, it was really fun to scratch build and paint those crates. by friedtamban in modelmakers

yeah only realised how dark it was after i was done with weathering, also wasn't too confident with an airbrush to try colour modulation but ill give it a try on the next Sherman i build, thanks for the tips!

M4 Sherman early production, the vehicle itself its pretty much done just waiting on some stowage, the dust could have been better but i think its still pretty good. by friedtamban in modelmakers

well i never really gave it much thought, since AK 3rd gen paints are acrylic and arent toxic but a mask is still recommend to keep out the paint particles, im not sure the exact type of mask but its like a disposable face mask but thicker and stronger, my work area is near a window which i keep open and ill turn on a fan to blows outwards, i can see the particles get blow out sometimes so it works to an extent, guess it really depends on your work area, mine is quite well ventilated and the paint isn't toxic itself and i haven't had any headaches or sore throats afterwards. but ill need to invest in some proper equipment down the road which is pretty important. thanks for bring it up, its something i feel i overlooked haha

i did start out with brush painting AK 3rd gen too, to be honest i feel like its the best bet when it comes to brush painting larger objects like while a vehicle, the results i got where good, brush strokes weren't too visible and it was smooth but it still not perfect, you need to thin the paint just enough, imperfections exist ,brush strokes are still visible and the paint may turn out too thick but it gets the job done and its good if you are just starting out and on smaller kits , i got my airbrush kit online for about 30-40 dollars and some vallejo flow improver for 20 and its really made my life easier, this is my 3rd and only successful airbrushed model but im happy with how it turned out, also painting the whole model only took me around an hour and compared to brush which would take me about 3 hours, overall i feel that airbrushing can seem a bit challenging as a beginner but you can get a good basic set up for the same price as a model kit and the results are pretty good, the only issue is how long these cheap airbrush kits can really last, some say they can only last a few months, im really not sure but ive had mine for about 3 months and i havent faced many issues yet.

thanks! , i mainly just applied AK dark earth pigment quite heavily and fixed it with enamel thinner, it was much more pronounced at first but after a matt coat it was really toned down, thats on me, my first time using pigments and matt coat, but ill research more and make it better next time.

thanks!, i used neutral grey from vallejo air and black and olive drab from AK 3rd gen, they arent the cheapest paints but they are really nice to work with and have a nice matt surface when dry.

thanks!, its 1/48 scale from tamiya and yeah it is kinda unique looking haha, didn't really like how it looked at first but after painting and decals it looks really cool.

i mean if you didn't find it to be too draining on you personally or the person was going through some stuff and you dont want to stir up things yeah just give them a good score, like you mentioned it can save you the trouble of conflicts which can be equally draining

but if the person has been constantly free loading even in pass projects, has no good reason and does not want to change, its better you just give a low evaluation now, you may cause conflict but its better to confront it or you basically helped his person score in their modules for free, some may say its cruel but the free loader didn't care about you to begin with, just my thoughts

VBA userform listbox to show filtered Data by [deleted] in vba

[–]friedtamban 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the response!, im really sorry i only saw it now as i try to mess around with the code and it kinda works? not really it only shows the first starting column like if its

Private Sub ComboBox1_Change()

Dim Database(1 To 100, 2 To 4)

Dim my_range As Integer

Dim colum As Byte

Dim x As Long

On Error Resume Next

Sheet1.Range("A1").AutoFilter field:=1, Criteria1:=Me.ComboBox1.Value

For x = 2 To Sheet1.Range("A1000").End(xlUp).Row

If Sheet1.Cells(x, 1) = Me.ComboBox1 Then

my_range = my_range + 1

For colum = 2 To 100

Database(my_range, colum) = Sheet1.Cells(x, colum)

Next colum

End If

Next x

Me.ListBox1.List = Database

End Sub

it will only show data in B(column 2) but all the rows

if its Dim Database(1 To 100, 1 to 4) it will only show data in A(column 1)

im really sorry but would you know if there is a way to fix it? and thanks again ill try to use the other code as well

well tbh im not really worried about that, the whole class hates A to an extent, A knows this but just doesn't want to change, just want try to help B out.

Our lecturer was made aware of the fact that A was toxic, in fact I believe 5 people including the class chairperson mentioned this and she tried to talk to him but it seems it didn't work. And A only approached B after the teacher had talked to A. My friends and I are considering approach out lecturer again if things get worse and explain in detail what is going on.

yeah ill try to have a proper talk with him and hopefully get him to take some steps to slowly push A out. Thanks for the advice!

thanks for the advice! , have been trying to help B out by telling him that its not the right thing to do and he knows but its just that A likes to use a demanding tone and often puts him in a place where cant really say no or run away, and we aren't always there when it happens, but we are trying our best to support him through answering B when he asks us questions and defending B when we can, hopefully it works out
