    I agree that the vendors tables has been slowly showing less kits that I normally go for and do to this weird economy we are having its not helping us model builders. Still there is that rare, hard to find kit that does come up every know and then that you may want to get or be inspired by what you see. Despite this I will still attempt to support them the best I can when possible. I really like how the ship models look and hopefully I will make a model ship next year!

    Nice coverage of Mosquitocon 2023, and keeping the photos organized. There are some very talented auto builders there, and make me want to quit attempting automotive builds altogether. How do the judges qualify one build over another? The paint coverage and detailing were all amazing. Are there makers categories? (Ford, GM, Foreign?) Rock Music background not my first choice.

    • @robrivsmodelinginsanity8578
      @robrivsmodelinginsanity8578 Рік тому

      Thanks sunguar, The cars were amazing and I scratch my head how great all the entries were. I couldn't even imagine what the judges look for on those things. I'm primarily an Armor modeler. I think the categories are by scale and street cars and race cars if I'm not mistaken. Next show report will be all piano and classical music. Thanks again for the support sunguar....

    Thanx for the video. Did you try holding the end caps by sticking a thin strip of masking tape to it (fold over itself, like a "flag")? This would give you a "handle" to hold the piece while getting it in the groves where it's supposed to sit.

  • @kurtlaughlin4250
    @kurtlaughlin4250 Рік тому

    This was a helpful video, Rob. I have some questions: 1. Are the clamps workable after the cementing with CA? If not, how do you fit them over the tools to give the "humped" shape and clamping appearance? 2. It would seem that the CA would leave a lump on the handle that would show up after painting and weathering. Do you do anything to remove it?

    • @robrivsmodelinginsanity8578
      @robrivsmodelinginsanity8578 Рік тому

      Hey Kurt, these are not made workable. These will fit over all of the tools by living them on. If they don't you would make the clamp around the tool handle if needed. A little cleaning with the facto blade would be needed if you put the CA on the outside of the bracket, but not always depending on how much you apply.
