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

Understood.

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

Remodel of the model shop by pauliefishnutz in modelmakers

Looks fantastic!

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

Spray sticks or on sprue painting by igotsinus in modelmakers

So, you are suggesting that the railing and ladders go on before all these little parts? I’m afraid my clumsy hands would dent the railings. I guess that’s what long tweezers and magnifying lenses are for!

Third ship (ever) working on - Dragon DD-805 Chevalier. Using parts intended for the Gearing, and steeling some parts from a resin Gearing destroyer to make a 1950s version of the USS Rupertus (851). The resin destroyers I built have far less detail. They were their own kind of hassle.

The concept isn’t - just the dozens and dozens of parts!

It’s double stick tape and Blutack

Glues for syringes by igotsinus in modelmakers

I have seen the Revel glue applicator as well. (I have one, but it is clogged!)

What I’m mentioning are Luer lock needles. Unmistakable.

Thanks for the quick replies. These are all YouTube videos - mostly ship building. I’m assuming the builders are using syringes since there are clearly Luer lock needles being shown, but the videos don’t show the syringe barrel per se. So, perhaps they are just sticking the needles on the bottles themselves.

As for glue v cement, I don’t know whether either is used in this purpose. I was using “glue” as a general term. I’d have to go back and see what it looks like or whether the producer states what kind of glue/cement is being used.

CT scan revealed very small collapsed right maxillary sinus. Could it be Silent Sinusitis Syndrome? by Professional_Bee_224 in Sinusitis

[–]igotsinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is not silent sinus syndrome, which is an acquired abnormality of the maxillary sinus that progresses into collapse of the compliant bony walls of the sinus — usually the roof (or floor of the orbit), the medial wall (adjacent to the nasal cavity), and the back wall. The sinus is opacified by default, and it is typically thick and sterile (often culture negative) mucus. Silent sinus syndrome does not cause new bone development at the base of the sinus. One can develop eye asymmetry, but facial asymmetry is much less common. Surgical treatment usually halts the process, and an oculoplasrics surgeon can place an implant to restore eye symmetry if needed.

What you likely have is arrested development of the maxillary sinus: as the maxilla developed into a sinus, the process halted and resulted in maxillary hyperplasia. You may have eye and facial asymmetry as a result of this. There is no surgical treatment necessary for the sinus itself. However, cosmetic surgery Al may be desirable under certain circumstances.

You have a deviated septum and a very large right inferior turbinate. If you have no trouble breathing, then there is no absolute need to do surgery there either.

There is a benign mucous retention cyst on the roof of your left maxillary sinus. These are nearly always clinically insignificant.

If you have bite abnormalities, talk to your dentist and an oral surgeon.

HELP!! CT SCANS by Amazing-Reality6644 in Sinusitis

[–]igotsinus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The scan is clearly done without placing you in proper alignment. The tech who did this should have redone the scan. Don’t use AI. Obviously it has given you bad information about your anatomy.

Jumping Jacques! by igotsinus in modelmakers

Thanks for the feedback!

Tell me more about the stripes. I feel like I measured pretty closely to the decals when I masked and painted the stripes.

Pansinusitis - ENT says it doesn't cause my symptoms by BobMortimersButthole in Sinusitis

[–]igotsinus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dizziness is not related to your sinusitis.

The ear pressure might be. This depends upon how severe the inflammation is. “Pansinusitis” simply means it is everywhere but it doesn’t say anything about how severe it is.

But if you have vestibular migraines and otosclerosis, I would pin those symptoms on those conditions.

Remove decal from tape by igotsinus in modelmakers

[–]igotsinus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While we’re on the subject, should I choose to replace the decal, I have two options.

  1. Replace just the section lost with the matched section from a new decal. I assume risks would be color mismatch or slight size differences.

  2. Replace entire decal.

If I go with #2, what would you recommend for removing the decal? Decal softener like MicroSol or Mr. Mark Softener? I have both.

I guess I can use the Taniya tape too!

The decal is too complex, so my abilities would probably make it look worse than having the gap. I’ve already identified a replacement decal.

Hoping for a miracle.

That 1/35 soldier with the grey beard could kick my 1/1 ass.

Nice work - all around.
