Neither the idler and road wheels. But the traction wheels…are another history. When someone reply this post…no more than 3 posts are permited until someone do…really?

Could be spam filter setting. Post away now or three more.

OK Tank_1812, thank you!
As I said, the traction wheels were another history. They showed a very pronouced sink mark in the center. I try to solve this with putty, sandig the center with a tool made from a piece of sprue and a disc punched from a sanding paper and replace the lubricatign knob with a small plastic punched disc.

I primed them to see the results. Here you can see how they ended.

That´s all I do for now.

Cheers!

They ended pretty well. Good job.

Excellent Raul.

The new Forum has in built trust levels. As you become more active the AI learns how trustworthy you are and lets you do more things. At some point you will get a personal message from the AI Bot to tell you this… and then you get one to ‘train’ you how to do things. Complete that and you get more power to do other things.

Nice save Raul, they look perfect now.

Thank you for the kind words, guys!

I’m looking forward to post some more advance next weekend so, till then.

Bye.

… and I am watching too …
I can silence, kick out temporarily or forever, bust a user to a lower grade and lock them there.
All that power makes me dizzy, have to sit down a while, whooosah.
The system also flags suspicious behaviour and calls for moderator attention.

Powertrippin’ 'ey?

But Is Petbat correct? Does one’s “privileges” expand by use and activity?

Discourse uses a concept they call trust levels. Activity and contribution makes you rise in “ranks” and gives you more abilities to do things. At the basic level the user is limited to a small sandbox which makes it hard for spammers to ply their trade.

I have read the blog about Understanding Discourse Trust Levels and more things are clear now.
Thanks, Robin.

Ahhhh Monty python and the holy grail, need to go watch it again now! :laughing:

I need some help from French speaking people!
Can anyone translate this:

Or even read it??
It will be part of my display.

Merci!

Ron, PM Olivier - Bison126 . He may be able to help you.

Finally started on the modeling building part. Didn’t like the Italeri Pz IV rear plate with its 20+ exterior ejector pin marks. A spare rear plate in the spares box from the 1996 Tamiya Pz IV H kit adapted without too much trouble.

@Bison126 Olivier, can you help me out?

Not easy because the writing is hard to decipher. From what I understood it’s a letter from a godson to his godmother. Basically he is tells her that the time is long to pass. He says he has no entertainment and no fun and hopes the next Sunday will be funnier
There is no indication about the location or his occupation at the moment.
