Sagitta Cantina

Using an angle iron and x-acto knife I scribed a line along the fin can where the original fin had been. Than using the x-acto knife, I kept going over the scribe line till I had cut a slot in the fin can. Using sandpaper I widened the hole till the tab from the fin fit like a glove. P6110005.JPG P6...

Here is the fin I cut out of sheet styrene, I added a 4 mm tab to the profile copied from the other fins. The sheet stock was a little too thick, so I sanded and shaped the profile to match the existing fins as best I could.

What Happens When the Government Doesn’t Even Know Its Own Laws? How are we expected to follow the law, when the law is expending so rapidly that even the agencies tasked with enforcing it can't keep up? While the overcriminalization phenomenon is nothing new, even the government itself is now beco...

I am forever amazed at the way individuals of a certain political slant can ignore the laws of the land, but feel impelled to enforce their opinions and feelings on the rest of us. As I have stated before elsewhere, I believe that the second amendment is a very clear and concise law, (that is til la...

CHIP #2 1:1 RATIO W/ RETARDER (5607) Pretty much the same procedure and results, except this chip dried with a flatter finish. On the first layer, I made two passes over the chip for each area, then applied the heat gun. On the second layer and each subsequent layer (2-4), I made three passes then t...

CHIP #1 1:1 RATIO W/ PLEDGE. I took pictures after every layer I shot, but to be honest, you really can't see much in them. This one time where a picture isn't worth a thousand words. So the standard procedure I followed was to lay down a coat, heat with the heat gun on the lower setting till the pa...

One last thing before the results,

All four chips were partially covered with a strip of the most tenacious tape (some colored duck tape, the brand name variety, not a cheap imitation) I have on hand, which I left on for about an hour and then ripped off.

The agents: -two chips (Numbers 1 & 2) wher given an even coat of Rust-oleum spray Filler Primer (249279 Filler Primer Gray) and allowed to dry overnight. -three batches of paint and thinner were mixed. The paint was the Airbrush Colors Opaque Back (5211). Three small jars were filled with 15 ml...

Finally, here are the results for the Createx Airbrush Colors. :D The specifics first. -I shot the following tests in my basement work room which had a temperature around 26°C and the humidity was around 65%. -The air pump is irrelevant except for the fact it goes to a storage tank and does have a m...

I did some test of my own earlier this evening using the information from the Andy X youtube videos. Some things needed some updating a tad, but he has good information. The long and the short of it is: 1) thin the paint A BUNCH! 2) Use light coats (2-3 quick passes = one coat) 3) Heat set each coat...
