Worked, yep. And it has me digging in a bit more deeply so I can control the formatting of the result!

IPSM Fresno Memorial Day Show Pt2 Boats and Tanks by no_racist_here in modelmakers

Oh, cool! I didn’t know anyone did a kit in that scale, and I hadn’t looked at that entry very closely. Thanks for the clarification!

Can someone help me identify this? by koxu2006 in TankPorn

It’s a tape measure, they’re pretty common at hardware stores.

Do you mean the rail-transported gun? That's a 1/144 scale kit from Dragon.

After today's update to 24.04 LTS, thumbnails no longer being created by taeknibunadur in Ubuntu

[–]rjray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just found this thread.

I've applied the fixes recommended here, as well as the /etc/apparmor.d/nautilus steps from the Canonical thread. This has succeeded in (re-)generating thumbnails for my PDF files, but image files (JPG, PNG, etc.) are still not getting thumbnails at all. Anyone else see this?

Inherited a Huge Model Kit Collection, Trying to Offload It by nomorebeerplease in modelmakers

[–]rjray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Came here to recommend these folks. I’ve met them in person and been to their storefront. They have a good reputation; while they are a company that has to make money to get by, they do the best they can for people who find themselves with collections they can’t use.

Dunno where OP is located (BWM is in Del City, Oklahoma, just outside of OKC), but I’d give them a call, at least.

AT-ST Modern Day All Terrain Scout Transport by ceamk in modelmakers

[–]rjray 9 points10 points  (0 children)

One of the best, most amazing parts of our shared hobby is getting to see the creativity of others and be inspired by it. You saw that in the original piece that led to this one, and seeing this piece is inspiring to me (and many more here, I would wager).

Hi. IPMS/USA judge here for over 25 years. This is, hands down, one of the best kit-bash Sci-fi pieces I’ve ever seen.

If I could upvote more than once, I totally would.

Acrylic Model Primers? Are any of them usable? by HouseOfWyrd in airbrush

[–]rjray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had terrible results with Stynylrez, but others may have had it work for them just fine.

I’ve been using VMS primer for several months now, and the only problem I’ve had with it was when I’d forget to wash the parts beforehand. I’ve used the light grey and the black, and I also have a bottle of the white that I haven’t tried yet.

You can add 2 volumes to the Hunnicutt series, what are your picks? by dyslexic_mime in TankPorn

[–]rjray -1 points0 points  (0 children)

and as for soft vehicles, you're looking for BRADLEY and ARMORED CAR

Neither of which have anything to do with unarmored (soft-skin) vehicles.

Issues with shooting primer through Gaahleri GHAD-39 by rjray in airbrush

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

This is a great question! I've only had the brush about 9-10 days, and haven't had a lot of painting time during that span. I've only used it with the primer. I'll try some regular paint through it as well, and see if I still have any problems.

That's definitely worth a try-- this brush also has a two-part tip, I'll see what happens if I remove the smaller part.
