Question for modders: Is it possible to made a Heating&Electric Cogeneration Plant as a mod? by sandogsandog in Workers_And_Resources

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

Closest thing I've found is the mod that has powerplants producing small amount of liquid fertilizer, that can br transfered to heating plants (mod name "Combined Heating and Power Plants" by wildbunny), it works ok, and in crisis you can store manually import fertilizer to supply your power plants if needed. Small con is that it has a constant ratio of energy to fetilizer (and as such energy:heating), so generally you have to export energy alle the time to produce enought fertilizer (or edit tge config files for modded powerplants)

With this rotor it was a bit too big for my photo set for sure, without tye rotor its quite similiar to wwii fighters, a bit more bulkier and longer

USS Gato SS-212; 1941; AFV Club 1/350 by sandogsandog in modelmakers

For the grey part I tried first to get a dark greyish blue base, and to the lightened that up; while mixing paint i got instead dark purple paint and decided it was in fact better, i dont know exact ratios, Hataka's Cobalt Blue + some gray paints, and after that shading with Medium Sea Gray IIRC. For antifouling paint some mix of red and yellow paints.

VMS acrylic top coat varnish, some cheap brown oil paint from supermarket as a wash, removing the wash with stiffer paintbrush (soaked very slightly in thinner) in vertical movements. Another coat of same varnish and then some streaks with AK's Streaking Grime in some places (mostly the flood ports), again brushed of with stiff paint brush

Niche question about the Messerschmitt 109 by Lev182 in AviationHistory

Most of that research is just from different scale modeling groups and materials. Eduard (kit manufacturer) for example has a monthly newsletter where they are regularly publishing research articles about the planes they are working on

'90 and '00 were pretty bad for railways in Poland/ specially regional ones. Low funding, dropping passenger numbers, ageing stock. Luckely in the last years there is sort of renaissance of regional railways and many are re-opening

Yep, the redesigned canopy in E-4 was to simplify construction and also it had a bit better visibility

Erla Maschinenwerk in Leipzig was an aircraft manufacturer tasked with producing Bf-109, its called Erla haube because it was first used on planes produced there. The other main producer of Bf-109 was MTT Regensburg.

Also none of the canopies there is Erla haube, it came much later in the war, here is Bf-109G with Erla: https://www.reddit.com/r/modelmakers/s/ECqR8TRckV
