IF these look like that pic, I'm thinking they almost have to be raised screen printed. I just can't fathom what we call a 3D printer printing color that clearly. Perhaps I'm behind on the tech but I REALLY would love to know how he's doing these...assuming they are really what's showing. Curious to see a review.

For a tank that is in the orange stage of aging, I used a color from Citadel that used to be called Vomit Brown. It was in my eyes a pretty dead on match for the orange colored time. I believe they've renamed their line so I'm not sure what it's currently called but i've been told they do still make the same shade. I like it because there is no mixing to get it the same.

Begs the question, I wonder what the tech is behind this? I wonder if it's more like 3D screen printing rather than 3d printing. Unless color printers have really made a huge leap, I can't see how a 3D printer could do color that fine. Perhaps though. I wonder if it's closer to how they are screen printing raised patterns on costumes like they do for movie props.... hmm....

I'm sorry if you've taken my post to mean that I'm suggesting not to social distance and that this isn't a very scary thing. It is. I am worried for you and your loved ones as much as I am for everybody on the planet. It's bad and I'm praying for everyone! I'm just suggesting that there has to be balance or the deaths are going to be much much higher in the long run. Please accept my apology if sounded like I'm putting some measurement on the lives of some over others. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm suggesting that a world-wide panic and economic melt-down would lead to the death

It will without a doubt have a more devastating effect on the planet than the flu, that is the ONLY certainty. Weather the worst of the effect is the virus itself or the financial and sociological destruction is yet to be seen. Even the experts that are most concerned of the virus are saying the same thing. You guys think I'm saying we shouldn't be taking it seriously. That is not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying we still don't know how bad the virus itself will be. To make claims of it being a more deadly virus than the flu at this phase is foolish. Just as foolish as saying it

It most certainly was true up until more recently when more test are now available. The initial phase of testing was only being performed on those people showing symptoms, that were already tested negative for flu and were having the more extreme breathing issues. They have now relaxed those standards but it certainly was the case up until the last several days. That's is my point. Once we start testing more people with the more minor symptoms it's likely we might find more people catch it and survive. That's why I believe there have been a huge amount of people that have already recovered an

I do have a sense of the severity, but NOBODY has a real sense of it YET. It's too early to make any claims that it will do worse than the flu. I'm not saying we shouldn't be taking it serious and doing what we are doing, and possibly more. But the estimates from scientists and statisticians are all over the place. Currently it's about the 49th highest cause of death in China so far this year, and somewhere around 19th if I recall in the hotspot area of Wuhan. One study said millions will die and then came back and said that the actual number may really be in the 100's of thousands. That's the

I agree, we aren't testing much. which means only those that are really sick because of it are testing, and that means that the percentage of people dying from it is pretty much only based on those tested with the worst conditions. If we find out that a lot more people have it then initially suspected, that would in some ways be a good thing. Not saying it's good that they have it, but it would mean that it's not as deadly as originally thought Perhaps it's not any deadlier than the flu but rather just faster spreading than it. While that certainly can be a problem, it it's true, it's a much l

Looking GREAT! Makes me want to pull out my Diag Falcon. Keep up the great work.

Another thing that I'm curious to find out eventually is what percentage of the deaths attributed to Covid-19 would normally have crossed over to deaths from flu. If we find that the number of flu related deaths decreases this year at or about the same number as are attributed to Covid-19, AND they are of the same age/health goups. It may be that this is no different. It is odd that hospitals seemed to be overrun so quickly when the total numbers don't reflect they should be. I suppose its due to the quickness of the spread and not so much the total rate over time. No matter what, this is a ba

But if you look at the number of cases/deaths per 1 mil. people you'll find that the rates are ALMOST exact. 3 deaths per million of population for both the U.S. and S. Korea and 208 per mil total cases in U.S. vs. 180 per mil in S. Korea, That kind of suggest that they are pretty close to on par with one another. True, there is a 5 day difference, that we know of. I still suspect we will find out that there were cases in the U.S. way before the reported date because those people never went reported and are over it.

I think it's an unknown, and unknown things create uncertain strategies. I suspect (granted I'm a nobody when it comes to this) but I suspect that we're going to find out that a LOT more people had the infection and never knew it and recovered. I suspect the mortality rate is going to be MUCH less than initially anticipated. I think that's due to many things, among them under-reporting of information coming from China initially. I suspect we're going to find a huge number of people were in New York as early as Dec.-Jan. that have had this, thought it was the flu or a cold and recovered un-anno

I don't think he was trying to downplay the deaths. Deaths are horrible and no matter the cause or anything, the families and those effected by death are dealing with tragedy. But if you compare the actual numbers of deaths from this (curently around 22,180) to something like the average flu death rate per year (between 291,000 & 646,000) it could appear to be mild. That's not to downplay the numbers and yes, this is still REALLY early to make a full fledged comparison. BUT it seems to be shaping up to be at least milder than some think. numbers based on these sources. ht

Oh well, and that's likely the place most....umm...beneficial I guess is the word.

I'll just say that all of the Hobby Lobby employees I know LOVE their job. Whether this changes that is yet to be seen but some people don't feel companies are obligated to give people jobs. BUT in keeping on track with the positive. Many local restaurants here have been opening up their kitchens even if they are shut down in order to cook free meals for the first-responders. Also some places are offering truckers free supplies at various stop stations around the area. Pretty cool how people can work together. Seen it many times after hurricanes and this is not changing that attitu

Wait what? Am I reading you correct in saying they can go topless anywhere in Austin? I guess I need to start going to some UT games. 😀 Seriously though, I'm kind of surprised but not...Austin is the San Francisco of Texas. Fun place to visit and see the sights....wouldn't want to live there.

Here is a list of some good deeds. I'm sure there are many many more. https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-companies-donations-helping-people#apple-ceo-tim-cook-announced-that-apple-will-be-donating-millions-of-masks-to-health-workers-in-the-us-and-europe-9

So glad there are some large companies that have the resources and know-how to step in, step up, and help out when needed. I'm sure there are many stories like this going on behind the lines with all sizes of companies and individuals. I think this would be a good place to share such stories. Either large operations or even the just as important neighbor down the road that's stepping up and helping out however they can. Let's see the positive side to our human race. I think it's more than worth pointing out. https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/24/business/ford-3m-ge-ventilators-coronaviru

Well, maybe you could start up a company that does whatever they do and hire those people. That's an option. Just sayin'

Yup, I understand that. Most schools are closed. What I meant was in that article listing suggestions we should be doing, they questioned the idea of closing schools and said that might be a bad idea. I was pointing out that it kind of goes against the first part of their suggestions about everyone staying home. That's all. Just seemed like 2 conflicting ideas.

I see that last pic and the first thing I think....not enough phantoms!😀 Seriously though, beautiful build on the Enterprise!

That is BEAUTIFUL. Awesome. Always thought those were some great looking cars, even though I'm a mustang lover first and foremost. I saw one just like yours except they had a paint guy go in and paint a ghosted flame "chicken" on the hood. Very subtle and really cool.

Exactly! Only thing I kind of think some manufacturing WILL return to the US. As I said, automation is one area that is going to help foster that. True, a company isn't going to close a factory in China or some other lower wage area with say 1000 workers, for example, to open one in the states with 1000 workers making more money. That would not make sense on the economic level. BUT a company would open a new automated manufacturing plant that say has 1/10 the amount of workers operating machinery. That is one of the things that will boost the economy not only because of the jobs at

I agree with large portion of that but some of it is even at odds with itself. For instance, saying we should halt all gatherings and motion (ok, fine we'll go with that premise) but then later saying that schools should NOT be shut down?!....ummm ok how does that work? Supposed to expose all the kids that ride buses to outbreak and bring that to the classroom to spread to the teachers and also back to their homes? Can't have it both ways. Young kids use social media to do their own tracing....not sure exactly what they are intending here. People who are infected go on social media

Not to mention automation making it MUCH easier to bring tasks that typically would be handled by a large group of people at a low labor cost. Bringing some of that back to local factories is going to be pretty normal. it's happening faster than some realize. True some things will always need human interaction. But many jobs that are currently part of the Chinese industrial economy are going to go away.
