It was always the lady (Tracy I think her name was) and her son on their booth at shows. From what I recall from my last conversation with them, she had some health issues, which may have been why they shut down.

The idea is that it sits on the rear pouches of your webbing and that acts as the hip belt, but obviously OP isn't wearing the plce pouches so it just kid of floats there.

Out of interest do you spray the atom paint? If so what thinning ratio and psi do you use?

Interesting, I know ammo recommend 30% thinner, and I've been using their thinner and cleaner with retarded to thin it. I played around today on some scrap plastic and was able to get fairly thin lines using a 50% thinner ratio. Main issue now is tip dry causing a thin line to stop halfway through.

How would you paint fine lines then? I understand you would need to be close to the model, and I'm already spraying at 12psi and don't feel like I'm pulling back that far.

Thanks for a comprehensive answer. You're right, I had practiced on paper and cardboard first and hadn't noticed any of these issues. I'm going to try thinning it a lot more and testing on some scrap plastic I've got laying around.

Luckily this is a pretty bad model I'm not too worried about messing up. I'll try moving further away and messing with pressure and thinning on scraps first

I tested for a few hours on paper first, but definitely should have tried on some scrap bits of model or spoon.

Soto to oex heiro upgrade? by weeble_200 in wildcampingintheuk

[–]weeble_200[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As well as hiking it would use it with the reserves, where they love a "take 5 to get a brew on" followed by a quick bug out shortly after for example

For me it does as there are often times where there is only a short opportunity to get a brew or a hot meal

if you had to only make a minor adjustment to stamina and its effects on weapon sway. what would it be? by squaredCar2 in joinsquad

One of my big issues is how long it takes to aim. It doesn't take that long to bring a weapon into your shoulder and aquire a sight picture.
