That is a great display room! I’ve got the same bookcases (Ikea), but mine aren’t filled with very cool models… Good you fixed that bad connection. Arcing melts plastic!

I would pay admission to see that in person and hear the stories. Very nice.

Yellow and red pigments are notoriously difficult …

My friend that paints fantasy Warhammer figures uses many acrylic coats to build up on a yellow flag, shield, etc. He says in figure painting competitions the more yellow items involved on a figure the better to get the edge in judging as yellow is universally know to be a challenge.

Yes, yellow is very difficult on figures- as is white. I’m currently doing a large yellow piece and gave up on my first attempt and stripped it as after about five coats it still had not covered the primer properly. And that was with thick, Scale 75 Arists Acrylics. One trick I used in the past was adding a bright yellow ink to the paint- a technique I might have to use again. Currently trying again using an airbrushed yellow for the base color.

I have built the one axle trailer for my 76.2 mm. AAG mod.1931:
And started reworking some features, I built wrongly 7 years ago:
It seems I need to “touch” almost every sub-assembly.

I’ve kept working on the drill rig:
I decided to leave the mast moveable for making painting and installing winch lines easier. I need to add some tool boxes and detail parts, but this is almost done.
I’m about to start a thread on the Auto site for something called International Paystar, which is the truck that this will eventually reside on -
Cheers
