Forum FAQ's are for idiots. Congratulations if you need it to explore these forums.

Hi John

Let me apologise on behalf of Aeroscale. I've no idea why Michal responded in such a manner.

We definitely used to have an obvious link to a FAQs page for the forum, and it's my bad that I hadn't even noticed it no longer seems to be there. I remember when I first visited our aircraft section in the original Armorama, I certainly consulted it - but perhaps I was just an idiot.

After a bit of digging with Staff_JIm's help, here's the old link (note: some stuff may be a bit out of date):

All the best

Rowan

There are places that will let us in, to have an ale and become friends again.

Well, we already have a place for that Modeling Cafe

Jack puts on a good spread from time to time and the movie nights are great. Drop on by, the door's usually open. If not, the key's under the potted plant, or the sleeping Aussie.

There's a pretty good photography forum in the network section of the site. You could pick up all sorts of hints and tips there.

Thanks Jessie

My biggest obstacle is relearning the hobby after ten years and learning macro photography all at the same time. It's not easy. I'm loving the modeling although the photo etched parts are hard.......to say the least. Keep losing them in the rug.....lol.

The pics?.......yikes. They look decent when taken and look fuzzy when uploaded. I'm working on it.

Moving across the lake this week. Everything is packed. I promise to try harder with my sharing.

Trumpeter model is a mixed bag. Wonderful fit of parts but the accuracy is below average. Details soon.

Been there, done that

Don't put the threshold too high, better make a good model without the fancy aftermarket stuff and photo etch than getting frustrated failing one thing after another.

On models I tend to buy "the best only". I can't see why I would spend time on a kit that the manufacture could not be bothered making a nice product of.

I usually scan kitmaker for reviews, build logs or forum input before buying a model; I means that in most cases i buy kits without big shortcomings, or at least i know what to expect when opening the box.

Got too mean for me. I'll check it out. Thanks everyone for making me feel more...

This forum is very well policed. Superbly so in fact. Michal's puzzling remark earlier notwithstanding...

It's very rare to find a forum about anything that has such a good general temperament. The tone of the community is kept in line and that's one of the things that makes me so faithful to this site.

Now if I may veer completely off topic.

Drabslab made an interesting point about only getting the best kits. I have to envy him there. I generally go for the kit with the least parts. So long as it meets a certain threshold. Not that the one with the least parts isn't sometimes the best as well. I find less pieces lead to fewer errors and less fit issues. I guess I'm more of a painter than a builder but I find a good finish can forgive a simple kit better than a complex kit can forgive poor joints and sanded away detail.

Though this perspective may change though as I gain the skills drabslab et al have honed.

Stay tuned for an Arii ki43 in the rising sun campaign to see if my mantras worth anything!

Have you tried using a dustbuster with a nylon stocking on the end of it? It picks up P/E bits, and if that doesn't work, a extendable parts magnet from Auto Zone ($2.99) works as well.
