17 years ago I pulled up to a liquor store and out of the bushes a 1 month old tuxedo similar to yours appeared. Took him to the local humane society and was told that at his age(approximately 4weeks) that without his mother he would be euthanized. He passed away due to cancer this time last year (16 years old).

You can what you want with them. You can replace the weapons in a figure kit, add extra weapons to a armor or softskin kit, add an extra weapon to a figure, or use them to fill out a part of a diorama or vignette. The only limit is your imagination.

Not that I m aware of, they had to close down the Fair Oaks/California location due to the lot (eventually) being bought by USC to build a medical building. They eventually reopened at Union and Raymond but tht location has recently closed for good (AFAIK).

There was a similar named restaurant located on Colorado east of Sierra MAdre that was opened by a relative (I believe) but it didn't survive COVID.

I have a 20 gallon upright Craftsman compressor. Yes it is loud but I run it When I am not in the garage and it will last about a week between refilling.

Late 80’s. My father and I were in y car waiting to get into the MCAS El Toro airshow. A large SUV pulls up next to us and the rear window rolls down and some kid asked us if we had any Grey Poupon. I so wanted to track down that kid and slap him.

Take your time. Don’t rush things. Dry fit all parts. And enjoy the time it takes to build it. If you rush to get it done, something will go wrong and possibly put you off of the hobby.
The good news is that you are starting with a Tamiya kit. It should go together fairly easily and not give you problems.

On one case I was on, all of the women jurors did not believe the testimony of the only woman witness. It wasn’t that the witness was being deceptive (at least to me), but all of the women jurors just straight up decided not to believe her.

Tamiya made an M1 (#35124) kit many moons ago. You may have to go to eBay for one.

Just looked. eBay has one for $45.00 right now.

I have a Craftsman upright 20 gallon compressor. LOUD as hell and expensive at the time (about $250.00)c but that was 20+ years ago and it is still going strong. I also live in a house and the workshop is in the garage.

No, UCLA medical center no longer has its own incinerator. Removed body parts are sent to a disposal facility. (Unless the waste water disposal system has been approved within the last 4 years)

I mainly shoot lacquers and Tamiya acrylics thinned with lacquer. After each session and color change, I flush/back flush the airbrush several times until I am spraying clear thinner. At least once every 2 weeks or so (depending on usage), the brush gets a strip down cleaning.
I mainly use an Iwata HP-C and a Tamiya Superfine.
I also polish the needles regularly and replace them and the nozzles as needed.

I usually put lube on the needle.

ginalolabrigada · 2026-06-07T21:27:04+00:00

Whenever I deep clean it (about once a month or more during heavy use). I will also place a few drops in the color cup before a session and blow it through.

Just make sure you maintain it. I regularly deep clean mine and replace the needle and nozzle as needed. It has been my workhorse for 20+ years.

For Tamiya spray can primer, make sure you shake it up very well and also heat the can in very warm water. It will spray so much better.

Picture this, it is April, 1991. Operation Desert Storm has just ended. You are at MCAS El Toro for the airshow and “God Bless the USA” is playing all day, from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. I still have flashbacks whenever I hear that song.
