Just a couple of things ... 2) Like Lonewolf, I won't be able to attend WF in the near future, so unless Gundamhead can go, the NE build won't be there ... unless we post it to some kind soul to take for us? Maybe we could ask M3 to haul ours along with his? 3) I am still in the process of deciding...

We almost have enough team members for 3 separate projects- with an average of four participants each. (Move one of the Canadian contingent over to the first step in the Northeast group, and there's 4 exactly in each.) Start the process on January 1. Each participant has 1 month to work, document, ...

I will admit I am a little gun shy after last time... It was my team who had our entry destroyed by an と お思 team member. And after I donated all of those nice Enterprise-D smoothie parts. :x That being said I'll give it another go! I'm in Southern Ontario so can go after Johnnycrash and before Lonew...

Thanks, Blap. But presumably the 500 is better for filling gross flaws? So you brush 500 and spray 1000 and higher? The finer grain sounds great, but aren't most modelers going to sand it anyway down to at least 400 or 600 grit? Yes. Brush 500 and Spray the rest. I might polish the primer with 3200...

Thanks Kenny, Great info. Have you used the Dupont primer surfacer and found out that it performs the same? Is it more like the 1000 stuff or the 500 stuff? 1000 seems thinner. 1000 had a finer pigment so you get a much smoother finish. They also have the 1200 and 1500 primers that are even finer. ...

OK. I sort of get it. SO based on a chart like this
http://www.elexp.com/tips/clr_code.gif
What colour coded resistor do I need? I have a pile (literally) here of them I got from my brother years ago when he quit electronics to take computer sciences instead.

I think your basically boned on this one. I had a bad mix many years ago and as test I left a part that was weeping on the shelf on paper towels. Two years later it was still weeping. I tried the post cure thing with no luck. If the resin never had it's little happy molecular bonding party it will h...

No, just being difficult to find in the states. They've also come out with Mr. Primer Surfacer 1000 which is hotter for use on metal and resin. I have Mr. Resin Primer and it is much better on resin than the regular stuff. The regular stuff will peel and flake off during masking. Resin stuff does n...

I have a full wood working shop, so I have some tools that others do not. Still, I have taken hardwood dowels, chucked them in my lathe, and sanded them so A. they were round, B. cylindrical, and C. the correct diameter. I was surprised how much the dowels were neither A. nor B. I have found the sa...

Ouch! Machining acrylic can take a delicate touch. I think that's partially why Brad prefers polycarb, he can take huge cuts out of it. It's much more forgiving to such abuses. Most definitely. It's not good for really thin walled rocket engine bells. You can reef on Smooth Cast resin really hard. ...

I have a piece of 3/8" glass from a large aquarium. http://tinyurl.com/879tctm
I use 3M Super 777 spray mount to put sheets of sand paper on it. Use the Silicon Carbide Waterproof stuff. It allows you to wet sand and it will go faster and cleaner.

Re: Fillet shaping tool
Milliput Hee hee! You said Millitput. That's like saying I use a hollow reed to blow ground up rock pigment from my mouth onto the wall of the cave. :D Seriously though that's a cool idea for a home made tool. I have some dental tools with various sized ends like that I use for the same thing.
