mason Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 On the weathering front Andy, I think I still have a lot to learn yet, my techniques are not great yet and I need to learn to be a little more subtle with the airbrush n tone down the cake on wipe off processes as it doesn't work on all instances, still a lot to go to cav's level but I'm got a good teacher n wouldn't have done half the stuff I have withy layout n stock with out his input, think its my round Saturday ha ha Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold mudmagnet Posted February 24, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted February 24, 2012 I've not used the Prodigy so can't comment, but I think that the NCE Powercab is a great controller! A major step up from the Dynamis, where I noticed quite a big improvement with the running qualities etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Yes yes get a prodigy then I can borrow the cab to do some double controller action on Outon haha That's My thinking to especially with demu in June it would so well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBE Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 The prodigy is cracking. I got one as it was an offer I couldnt refuse. Nice big knob in the old tradition and controllable one handed which makes a load of difference. The powercab is great to I might add. Your modelling has come on leaps and bounds and I fully expect your new project to impress. Cav Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mason Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 if you want Neil I can bring my Powercab setup for you to have a try ......

mason Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Cheers Richard, I think the dynamis was perfect to get me onto dcc and as Cav said when I had it from him that I will eventually out grow it, n as a basic beginner entry level it's great but it has flaws n the biggest is the signal drop which is vital for reliability especially the amount of shows I have this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
