  1. Whats the best thing for removing dried Enamel paint from an Airbrush?

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      wheres it dried? Id take plenty of thinners or acetone and slowly soak and prod at any stuck paint.  Eventually itll eat its way through.

  2. More and more using this new format, Im finding things just dont work.  Status update bar on the side doesnt work, topic listings dont give me the information needed (date started, how many posts, etc), continuously scrolling pages make browsing a hassle, and the layout is just unhelpful...its a real shame as Im now not finding a desire to come to RMweb anymore.

      Status updates can be posted via the dropdown on the top bar, similar to old, but the sidebar is not active. 

      I hadnt noticed the post count on the far right.

  3. has found a surprising number of locomotive GAs...on Pinterest, of all places.

      I hate if I follow a google image link to pinterest, that image magically disappears into the list.

  4. I'm sorry, but no one will ever persuade me that waterslide transfers are preferable to Methfix. Unfortunately they were all I could get for my purpose.

      Postage or slow working?

  7. Does a glass of red wine count as one of your five a day? I mean it is just grape juice isn't it?

  8. I cant get any business to respond to emails....

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      It works definitely. Ive even tried a different email on one.

  9. Either my email isnt sending out messages reliably, or multiple companies dont want my business.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      But why would anyone who isnt expecting a steady stream of sales turn down any chance of a future repeat customer?

  10. Last night with help of wife and daughter made Lego tower bridge, all 4295 pieces

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      I built that several years ago. If I remember correctly, it took a lot of sorting beforehand.

  11. I've just had Windows 10 inflicted on my laptop.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      I believe the proper course of action is to destroy it in its entirety before it infects others.

  13. PM system broke again?

  14. Has broken the shoulder strap of a messenger bag.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      No, more like the messenger shooting itself.

  15. PMs don't seem to be working, sent two messages in a group chat but neither are showing (despite the time they were sent showing in my top tab)

  17. Odd. Followed topics dont seem to be updating. Dont know if thats a known bug.

      Porcy, I understand the pound sign issue. And I have seen the notification at the top of the page. The error I noticed, and commented on has not been listed as far as I am aware. Though it appears to have now fixed itself.

  18. And the mail service destroyed my package.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      Yep. I ordered plasticcard from the UK, every single sheet damaged. The packaging looked to have been run over by a lorry multiple times.

  19. That lovely feeling when your first train does a complete circuit of the new layout without stalling or derailing.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Then the second lap finds multiple faults somehow.

  20. Aaagh, finally managed to source 10.5mm wheelsets online. Would have been easier to have gone hang gliding on a washing machine!

      Spitfire2865

      Were you looking for disk or spoked? It took me about 2-3 weeks to find someone who stocked spoked wheels.

  21. Now I need to build 3 4mm wagon turntables from scratch.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      Stubby, I know that, being a fan of Lego all my life, I just dont see it worthwhile ordering just two Lego turntables. Im rather cheap.

      And Talltim, thanks for the offer, but I have an idea already for the turntables. All it needs is a screw pivot. And a means to turn it without the hand of god.

    1. Spitfire2865

      Spitfire2865

      Ive seen that. Though I have no lego at my disposal currently. But Ive decided to only make 2 rather than 3. So a little easier.

      How did she say it? Condescending, or sarcastic?

  24. There is an art to flying, or rather a knack. Its knack lies in learning to throw yourself at the ground and miss

      A good landing is one you can walk away from. A great landing is one you can reuse the plane afterwards.
