Grumpyoldman Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Just signed up after reading quite a few pages--- several hours worth. Unfortunately I don't own any MV's, but sure do appreciate seeing all the work you guys and gals do on yours, and have a great interest in the various subjects yous guys discuss here. I promise to behave, probably will ask some ready dumb "grumpy" questions along the way, and maybe even make a few laugh. I also love the spell check feature! :-D Dave OMeara from Armorama.com :naughty: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Oh goody as you don't have a vehicle (Yet!). Can you just, hold this, move that and spin the rest. Don't get drawn in to a corner by the Jeep and Jimmy lot though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N.O.S. Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Welcome, Dave :banana: Your http://www.armorama.com site looks to be a great blend of scale and prototype information. I suspect it could be more use to us lot than you imagine, not just the mv modelling faction of HMVF. Let me explain guys...... The front page of Dave's site, primarily aimed at MV modellers but with a lot of full size content, contains a link to a new product review, PERFECT WELD BEAD TRANSFERS At last, there might be an alternative to my technique of quickly brushing red oxide primer onto extremely hot scabby welding to produce the look of a perfectly formed weld bead - all I need to do is see if full-scale versions of the transfers can be produced...... :whistle: Anyone got any other "Weld Improvement" techniques?

Tony B Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Oh Gawd! does that mean the club house will be smelling of glue again :roll: mind you it does make a change from burnt gear oil and welding spatter. Modllers always welcome, nothing boosts the ego more than 'My vehicle was used as the original' :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpyoldman Posted October 13, 2007 Author Share Posted October 13, 2007 Thanks for the warm welcome. Yep, I'm one of those "make little OD type of guys". Mostly 1/35th scale, and softskins and allied. I like trucks and jeeps etc. :-D But will occasionally do an armor piece. I work in a boiler room, with 5 diesel generators, and get plenty of oil fumes. Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked the site. Heavy discussions go on there too... some get pretty heated! I'm off to peruse through the softskin sections :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
