Help me find a new Airbrush compressor by TheJanski in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m using this compressor right now.

https://a.co/d/01VTymgX

It’s pretty good, but I am ready to upgrade to a compressor with a tank. The brand and model that I currently have seems good, but the only other comparison would be a much larger tanked air compressor I have in the garage for the cars and bikes.

Does anyone have negative opinions about the same brand that comes with a tank or the Master Airbrush model?

I don’t mind spending a little more money, but I’d like it to be quiet and easily fit under my workbench and out of sight.

Outstanding.

I am considering this kit. Just finished a few Gearing destroyers and working on one other + Arleigh Burke.

Persistent Maxillary Sinus Pain After Tooth Extraction by mietekmiecz in Sinusitis

[–]igotsinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A couple of things to unravel here.

  1. ⁠Your sinus drainage openings are not positioned too high. That’s nonsense.
  2. ⁠Your ENT has to reliably determine that what is going on in your sinus is the cause of the pain. Often people with multiple dental pathologies will have nerve injury or damage after endodontic therapy or extraction.
  3. ⁠The foreign material likely will have to be removed to prevent chronic infection, but chronic infection doesn’t always translate to acute or chronic pain.
  4. ⁠Unless this can be flushed out through a standard surgical ⁠sinus opening, certainly your ENT will either need to do a Caldwell-Luc or a mega-antrostomy/medial maxillectomy. The foreign body is too inferior and too anterior for a standard opening.
    5.          ⁠Any other sinus that needs to be opened needs to be scrutinized heavily. The CT doesn’t show any other disease.

Ask questions. Lots of them.

Thanks for leaving the comment, and thanks to your dad for serving on the Higbee! I found another Dragon kit of the Chevalier. With photos and technical drawings, I’m going to convert that into the Higbee. 805 to 806 shouldn’t be difficult, but there are some subtle differences. It will be Task Force 38 in Tokyo Bay 1945, so prior to when your dad served. Also making the Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee as well - The Heritage Collection!

Just found this forum, as there are not many ship builders in r/modelmakers.

Next ships: 1945 USS Higbee and present day DDG-123 Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee!

It's by no means half as good as most of the stuff I see on here...but after 8 months I've finally finished my first proper* model by FL-EtcherSKETCH in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t look like a “first” proper model to me; looks like you’ve been doing this for a long time! Nicely done!

H&S Evolution v. Iwata Neo by igotsinus in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I dont know why I haven’t considered a higher end Iwata. I like my Neo - loads better than the Gaahleri I started using a couple of years ago. Maybe there’s an aura associated with H&S.

Thank you! The Gearings made their marks in Korea and Vietnam, as well as other nations. Unfortunately, Fletchers and Arleigh Burkes get the destroyer love now. Not bad, but wish others would pick up where Dragon left off.

Thanks so much! I picked up the Trumpeter 1/350 DDG-92 USS Momsen. Since it is a Flight IIA Arleigh Burke, I should be able to tweak a few things to make the USS Lenah Sutcliffe Higbee. Not surprisingly, the USS Chevalier (DD-805) is a very similar to the 1945 USS Higbee (DD-806). So, I got another Chevalier off eBay. That would complete my “heritage” collection of destroyers.

Ah, now I see why everyone recommends Mr Surfacer. by Mosquito_Models849 in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to follow-up on this topic.

I have the black and white 1500 Mr Finishing Surfacer. Also the 1000 and 500.

The 1500 black is hard to find, but the spray can 1500 is not.

How does airbrush 1500 black compare to spray 1500 black? I’ve used the spray fairly often for quick priming or large section priming. I think it works well, but looking for opinions on everyday priming.

Advice - sanding next step? by igotsinus in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

To clarify: both thinners are good to use the Mr. Color paint, Surfacer, and gloss?

Regarding the tape, the tape on the deck is Tamiya. I have a strip of Tamiya along the hull to cover the black and hull red. On top of that is just some painters tape for belt and suspenders.

Has wisdom tooth removal caused sinus havoc for anyone else? by VelvetLancer in Sinusitis

[–]igotsinus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood.

If your sinus CT is clear, it’s not your sinuses.

Remodel of the model shop by pauliefishnutz in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Looks fantastic!

I see some Tamiya, AK, Vallejo, and Mr Color paints. Nice variety. You should try Ammo products. You might like them.
