Hello everybody,

finally I can share photos of Bo's Mercedes D.III and LMG 08/15 in 1/144 scale.

Great work, Bo, I would not have believed parts this tiny could be produced in such quality.








The diameter of the coin is 2cm (0,79 inch).





Cheers

Ondra

Got my latest order and it looks awesome. Have just dry fitted the rad in place and it fits very nicely. Now here is a question for you. You say to clean in acetone before using, but do you know of any other substance that might work thaty is less potent? I have not yet done any because I am trying to figure out how to do it without the fluid bothering me. Seems I have developed a sensitivity to stuff like this and jet fuel and laquers etc. Thanks for any thought on the matter.

Forget the last question. Just read the faqs. I'll try the soap and see how it works.

James, I appreciate your sensitivity to the stuff; acetone is actually probably too strong for the fine details of the radiator fins anyway. The dishwashing detergent method does work -- I recommend dawn if you can get that in CA. Simple Green is another product that works. Just be careful when giving the parts the scrub-a-dub -- this material is a bit more brittle than polystyrene (not impossibly so I would add).

Thanks as always for the support, James. Please don't hesitate to ask any questions and if you have any problems, please let me know!


Cheers,

--Bo

I'm going to pop the spinner and wheels and bombs in the sonic cleaner with some of the cleaner I use on my airbrush. Its a degreaser like simple green which I cant seem to find around here any more. If it works then I will try the rad. Will let you know what happens.
And your stuff is awesome although I wonder what I am doing try to use it.

Mine is like this one http://www.ebay.ca/itm/NEW-Frankford-Arsenal-EZ-Sonic-Cleaner-Free-Shipping-/400924336454?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item5d58f3e146
There are others a bit cheaper also. Great for the airbrush and cleaning resin, and my wife throws her rings in also. Use mine probably once or twice a week for past 4 years.

That's the same cleaner I use. Great for the airbrush.

Thanks for that James. The acid test will be whether paint sticks.

Do you put any detergent in the ultrasonic cleaner?

Warm water and about 4 squirts of Simple Green Max.  The cleaner I really liked that I cant find any more was Mean Green.
Put the cleaner on for 480 seconds. Will try paint soon. Will let you know how it goes.
