Oseberg 1/32nd from Pavel Nikitin - With hopefully also many added details.

Hi Mates,
Project has been on hold because now I need to start the airbrush part. Ordered this from Amazon. Will add a review. Its foldable
and looks to be just about right size for this application. Will use Pavel's stains - need to go back over his youtube videos for details.

Regards,

PS: MSW had a great thread called What did you receive today? - have not found something similar her at SoS --

Hi John. Looking forward to your review, to do this indoors would be a great help down here in the humid, hot, deep south.

Daniel,
Yes - your're certainly are in a humid zone. Having been based out of KJFK for two years - a long time ago -- I do understand.
My, then young, Admiral was less than "happy"with summer weather..But we both loved the East coast. Especially NYC..

Thanks for your post - will follow up....

================

The big IF for me is my airbrush compressor its so old that it may not be happy being turned on again -Both my Paasche and pump are
pushing 50.... May have to send Amazon another purchase order. TBD

===================

PS: I am again from South Africa -- Zolly replied to my "concern"

Hi

I am not sure what's causing that, we have this issue frequently. the flag is based on the IP address you may be using, many people using a Vpn and in that case can cause changing the flag, I am not sure if manually we can set it but I will ask Donnie

========

I do activate my VPN almost all the time - and may forget to "quit it" before logging onto SoS....

Well as long as it's not a N Korean flag ROTF it's all good

Cheers

So it is Sunday and my orders were Gas and car wash - most of all my driving these days---
PS: Welcome to my state and its taxes o_O Admiral's car needs the supreme.

Yea there is Costco but the lines remind me of the 1970s oil crisis RedfaceROTF

Hi
Finally got around to setting up the portable airbrush spray booth from Amazon. (will fold it back up when done)

For this application I think that it will be perfect. Can stay indoors without causing any issues from the Admiral. It was our son's room, but he is now also off of my payroll so room got confiscated :) ---- in our security system room called Shipyard - silly I know...

=============

That booth exhaust vent needs to be adjusted. That said an airbrush is much more exhaust friendly than painting using a spray can -- as you all know. Should be fairly delicate work in that regard with little extra paint fumes floating in the air. The two booth fans really seem to work well along with that speed control dial. Will be using Pavel's stains as I mentioned earlier

Now just waiting for new compressor to arrive. Results TBD...

As always thanks for your continued interest with this log......

Cheers,

Yes -hi neighbor :)

SO still need to buy one more toy --- YIKES -- oh well.

Painting will be away for a few more days - Though my Admiral, as a Brasilian, (yes with a "s") has always been
a football fan - so might be some noise disturbances for a week or so.

Way back when - Brasil vs France for the World Cup (1998) was a hard one for her Speechless I originally being from France --

Though I don't have an interest in socker- I grew up with the Dodgers -

That said, Grant, good luck to you vs Mexico next week...........

Cheers,

Good morning John. Ahh Mexico gave our lads a football lesson. Not the prettiest game I have seen and some poor discipline from SA did not help. We are just very proud that "Bafana Bafana" qualified for the World cup so if we can get any win it will be a celebration :D. Cheers Grant
