No issues with Safari. The only disturbing ads I encounter are for older women who don't want young men. The disturbing part is I'm still young. ;)

Thanks for that info, certainly sheds light on it. I thought the urethane resins have been around forever.

That describes it well, it's a sort of camphory odor. Thanks Gordy!

I've been using resin aftermarket pieces for armor models as well as figures over the years in all different shades and hardnesses and have yet to come across this. I am currently working with my first Verlinden piece, a 120mm Panzerschreck and any time it's touched, even just scraped, it...

Seriously? I do have that kit in my attic, it's a real dog, I offered it to my son to practice airbrushing, but he never built it.

They've been around for long time and have only been getting better over the years. The trend is towards safer material. I remember taking oil classes in school where you'd have 40 people each with a coffee tin full of turps in an enclosed, windowless room. The only difference is the medium...

I would think any business in this climate and competitive nature would try their level best to help, not annoy customers. There certainly are honest mistakes and issues, but a policy like that seems counterproductive. There is a cost of doing business, and processing an order is part of it. Do...

I love it. Perfectly nightmarish on many levels.

Now I'm waiting to hear the three stories about beginners. :sneaky:

I've been airbrushing Vallejo for years, I've only recently started brushing it. ;) Thinning to a ratio is difficult because the paint viscosity, humidity, air pressure all varies, even changes over the session in my experience. I prefer just water (distilled) and eyeball it to be similar to...

Whoops, I missed the photos the first time around (I have no idea how). I wouldn't have suggested rising air, unless you were pumping it in while mixing. ;) I forgot to mention the mixing vessel and tool. Not that you did, but never use paper cups or wooden sticks to mix resin, residual...

Urethane resins are extremely sensitive to moisture. It's the main reason for their poor shelf life, particularly the isocyanates. I have a friend who spilled some in a classroom lab once. They donned the safety gear, cleaned it up in the proscribed way, disposed of the spill and left only to...

Gordy, I know any National Archive photo is fair use, perhaps that photo is the same with the Bundes Archiv (sp?). In the US, you could go to College Park, MD and browse though the Archives for as long as you wish, copying images and then head to the publisher. I believe there's hundreds of...

Thanks guys. Scale probably works into it too. If a small operation is producing figures of a subject there is probably little chance of ruffling feathers of anyone, unless it is slanderous. I doubt anyone would even notice, since they wouldn't be filling shelves at a big box store with them...

I always assumed that was kind of the 'to the victors...' and all of that. At least with the larger model companies and subjects. Messerschmidt is not going to pursue someone releasing a Bf 109, but Grumman may have rights to a Wildcat. Maybe not, I don't know. I doubt they'd want a model...

Help me wrap my head around something. First off, this is in no way asking about specifics of any company or current work out there or to assume anything about some or their intentions. The question is regarding commercial release and public figure and intellectual rights. I know if I did...

I agree with both gentlemen before me, I'm astounded at the detail, I would have guessed 1/48.

Stunning. Everywhere.

That's priceless.

Just an observation, I can only see it from the angles provided, but his right leg looks unlocked at the knee. His left is natural, but the right doesn't appear to be holding his weight. In that position, his body would be supported entirely by the right leg and in the first photo, he appears to...
