Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: Let's Take a Look at Brushes
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2014/08/lets-take-look-at-brushes.html
Monday, August 18, 2014. Let's Take a Look at Brushes. The bane of my modelling life! I know I am only just getting into some serious modelling, but it's not as if I have never done it before. In fact my first model was a P38 built with Dad, way back in the late 1950s and I have been on a war footing with brushes ever since. Then I found Italeri brushes. Much better as far as I am concerned! The brush in the middle is a Revell 4/0 and there are a couple more on the right. From right to left we have 2...

Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: Another Short Story from One-Eye's Travels...
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2014/08/another-short-story-from-one-eyes.html
Monday, August 18, 2014. Another Short Story from One-Eye's Travels. One-Eye’s Tale Continues. We left old One-Eye snoring gently, face down in a bowl of pickled moles. Limp had gone outside for some fresh air, only to go limp from the numerous rounds. He woke up some time later to find a heavy dew had settled during the darker hours. Gerroffome, will you, Rabbi Goldstein! Why thank you my dear boy! He said, somewhat indignantly. All together now.). There was obviously some trouble on the water somewhere...

Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: August 2012
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 01, 2012. The Passing of an Era. What do * * *, * * *, * * * *, * * and * * * all have in common? Along with a few others? They're all reasons why I have fallen by they wayside of flight simulation, Just who or what is hidden behind those asterisks shall remain my secret - or else I risk accusation of being biased and bigoted. Microsoft were trying to lure in more users (er, perhaps the word should be gamers? There was absolutely NOTHING in Flight that attracted gamers. If you were to h...

Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: May 2012
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 28, 2012. Well well, "Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose". I am still here, kicking this blog around, but every time I come back it's "All change" - and still it's the same. Just a very short post today, but it'll do to keep things alive. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Well well, Plus ça change, plus cest la même cho. I am re-grouping and re-arranging my blog, so as from today (mid-August 2014) I am moving on from just sim-modelling to feed you news of other modelling too.

Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: June 2011
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 04, 2011. Well, it's been a quiet one, so all I can admit to having achieved is having kept the lawn watered. But that despite strict 'instruction' from family. Don't you just love it, when everyone else plans your time? WPR (wrist progress report) - no improvement. It has now progressed to the stage where I am almost permanently 'retired' from active painting and testing of sim-flight planes. All in all life's quiet. Too quiet perhaps. Oh well.

Sunday, August 31, 2014. A week or so has passed and nothing has happened - what a life! Well, not quite nothing. I have been practicing painting my heads. I think I am slowly getting the hang of things, although at 1/16th scale, it's a devilish job getting the eyes looking anywhere near acceptable, let alone realistic. But as the old saying has it - Practice makes perfect. Plenty of practice left for me! So now I am also using a selfie as well:. Wednesday, August 20, 2014. Not perfect yet, but I feel I ...

Musings of a rocket scientist, sim-plane painter and modeller: February 2012
http://eagleskinner.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 25, 2012. Well, I was lucky after my last entry. I recovered ALL the lost data from the backup - and the mercy of Corel's autobackup system, which saves all work in progress in a separate location. Wednesday, February 22, 2012. It'll Never Happen to Me! Have you ever experienced that exquisite moment of pure "Ohhhh shhhh* * *tttt"ness? I have. Just these days! Are you sure that you want to finally delete 1234567 files? It'll never happen to me. again. perhaps. Friday, February 17, 2012.
