Re: Airbrushing 101

I read the first page and have bookmarked it. If I may be so bold, I found the color of the font to be uncomfortable to look at. Do what you want with that opinion. Hey, Thanks! Yeah, I've heard that from a number of other visitors to my site, that my choice of blue color for the text, when contras...

Airbrushing 101

I just revamped and updated a very old article I originally wrote, (back in 2002).
I was surprised how much of my original "stuff" I wrote was still applicable today.

Tony Wootson's Second part of the 2023 Wonderefest Show Report

Ok,

I've finally completed the second part of my report on this year's Wonderfest show. Included are just under 1,000 pictures,

Re: Fine Scale Modeler Photo Gallery

This was the third WF since it was cancelled in 2020, and it's been growing each year. Covid has definitely improved hobby sales, 'cause people needed something to do during all that downtime, and they rediscovered the fun they had when they were young (plus you have young people discovering it for...

Re: Fine Scale Modeler Photo Gallery

I;m not sure, but I think partly what's taking place is a rebound of the 2-year shutdown of the show, due to Covid. It'll be interesting to see if the next couple of years continue to see an upsurge in the attendance and model contest entry count, of if the numbers return back closer to the pre-Covi...

Tony, you spent too much time looking through the viewfinder of your camera, and not enough aiming your Mark I eyeballs directly at the models! :P But seriously, I appreciate the work you and everyone else do taking good photos at WF! :D You mean before or after that hoard of a crowd wasn't in the ...

Good Reference Manual/Material for Starfury Docking Arm Unit

Hello, I'm looking for reference material, (preferably a manual) which details the particulars of the docking-arm-unit used for the Babylon 5 Starfuries.

What about a liquid paint mask product? I'd go with PAM. There was someone from this board who routinely...
