Just do it this way, by uploading the images directly here! Chris

Let's try: <a data-flickr-embed="true" href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/100165274@N08/52602360522/in/dateposted-friend/" title="great-wte-good-day-eh-34480081"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52602360522_2d4ee3e06e_n.jpg" width="320" height="217" alt="great-wte-good-day-eh-34480081"/></a><script async src="//embedr.flickr.com/assets/client-code.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I have this unit that runs my old Dremel. Both are at least 25 years old. I can dial in a speed that is barely moving. Chris

What kit? What scale? Chris

I've used 99% ISO for cleaning AK Real and Tamiya form my old Badger 150 airbrush. Works great! Chris

I just use this and keep it in the clear tube. When it hardens off, I just stop in to the grocery store about .5 kilometre up the street and buy another one. I usually clear the tip after use and make sure the cap has been put on properly. Chris

Moderators! A member needs assistance with login. Member Motty has been trying to login but just can't get it to work. Here is the posting he put on Britmodeller: " G'day All, Sorry for posting this here on BM, but I've had no luck on ARC directly. I was updating some info on my profile at ARC yesterday which included changing the email used for my account. The forum said that an email would be sent to the new address so I could confirm it, but that email has never arrived so it won't allow me to access the site (logged in) until I do.

Photo not viewable. Chris

I've had this set-up for years now. The flexi-shaft lets me handle the unit better for close-in work and the speed control slows it way down, so it won't melt plastic.

My latest purchase from my daughter's boutique is the set of small foam makeup applicators. They work great for applying pastels for weathering. The dozen that were in the packet only cost a few dollars. Chris

Bad post!

My youngest daughter is a make-up specialist at a local drugstore that is part of a national chain. Anything in her boutique that may be even slightly useful to kit building I have already looked at. I then get her to buy it and she uses her employee discount to get it cheaper. Gentlemen, always peruse through the make-up section of any store that has that kind of material. There is a lot of useful stuff there. Chris

Up here, where I live, there isn't a hobby shop. The closest one is a 5 hour drive south of here. All that's here for hobby supplies are a couple of gamer stores. One has a few kits sometimes and keeps a supply of Tamiya paint. The other one has the Citadel paint. Such is life when you live On The Backside Of Beyond! Chris

Let me try this again! This is what I have for WW2 RAF Interior Grey-green: Now it works! Chris

Stupid forum! This is the worst for trying to post pictures!

We don't have any hobby shops either. It's 300 mile/5 hour drive south to the first one. Such is life, up here on The Backside Of Beyond. Chris

I'll get that sent out right after the holidays! Chris

Can you wait until after the holidays? Then I'll send'em to you, free. I just don'i want to go near a post office for a while. Chris

Photo posted above. This site sucks cat rectums when trying to post images! Chris

I've got these two bits, left-overs from a buddy's build from 35 years ago. Chris

If/when I ever do a WW2 Italian aircraft, I'll either use these old Humbrol Authentics: or I'll do a Tamiya mix: Chris

I have also glued some 600 girt sandpaper to flat toothpicks to make small sanders. Chris

Just a bit of paint in a small container with a drop or two of the retarder added, then stirred a bit. Go to the closest place that may have art supplies and get something like one of these. Though I haven't used any yet, I have read that they will work on acrylic model paints. Chris

I've got these Squadron ones that work quite well. I also have this. My daughter, a beautician, got it for me. Chris

I was most fortunate to land a great job at age 25. I worked there for exactly 35 years, retiring six years ago, at age 60. My wife and I both grew up on farms, so we learned to live a not overly expensive life. We have a investment guy who has done a great job of making us a great retirement fund. Though I don't bring home as much as when I worked, we don't have any great expenses or debt. If I want to buy some new modelling stuff, I just do it. Retirement has been a great career move for me.
