Wow. You now have the upper hand. I'll have to find something out of my neverending bag of tricks to top this with.

I think I have something.

However, I'm still absolutely sure you're gonna top me at this point. I love it.

[Mach]

Heh, heh, I believe you can after the last go round.

[Kayin]

W00t, have to do so!

Hmm?

[DonT-FeaR]

indeed.

[ATi_Loyalist]

Wow. I'm seriously awestruck by your craftsmanship.

Thanks ATi, appreciate it!

Time is a slippery thing. Sorry for leaving you guys hanging. Work has been a monster since my last post. 2010 is slated to go to down as the weirdest job year ever. Not sure what's going on but I'm hoping 2011 is a little more relaxed.

But on to more mod related topics, Santa came a little early. My new modding ruler from MNPCtech ($29.99+S&H)

Back to where I left you, Scalecoat brass train model paint. This is supposed to be the shiznit for brass painting. I cringe to think what's in it.

My outdoor airbrush studio. The scalecoat has some nasty fumes so I only spray outside which leaves me at the mercy of the weather.

This is my paint curing oven.

2 paint cans taped together with foil tape and a 75W bulb in the bottom holds it a a constant 150-170 degrees. I can vary it by wrapping the outside in a towel.

The meter repainted for version 2. The baked scalecoat is very niiice but very durable.

There's no way I can distress it after painting and make it look good. Back to the masking idea and waiting on the weather in my paint studio to cooperate.

Til then assembling Christmas presents. Anybody got plans for a 1:10 scale grinch sleigh.

Thanks for looking and many thanks to my sponsors!

so that stuff is like a powdercoat then? just not electrically conducted? seems kinda neat

[Mach]

No it's paint with aggressive adhesion properties for brass but still paint. I'm just speed curing it in the paint can oven.
