Sweet! Only a few ejector pin marks to fill, too, and some seams to clean up. Now, where will you use a scuba diver figure? I'm keeping away from the military theme and will try and fashion some coral or seaweed and have him attached to it somehow 🤔 |

Cool frogman Jed!
Once you paint it you may want to consider adding some white wood glue to his face mask. It dries clear. Should give the appearance of a lens.

I had sold some stuff so I thought that I would upgrade my air compressor. I was using a Campbell Hausfield pancake compressor. It did OK for what I needed but made a lot of noise. This one was in the California Air Ultra Quiet line. 60 decibels. 5.5 gallon tank. It looked bigger in the videos I watched. I mighta gotten a bigger one. This one should do fine for what I need now. I'm happy.  |

Three boxes arrived yesterday:  My F350 to become a logging operation work truck, two sets of T49 tracks for stock (and two sprues already removed to finish the tracks for the first Madill yarder), and a fresh bottle of brass blackening fluid to deal with all the brass shackles for the yarders and other stuff over time. |

Thanks to a forum member I was able to get this.  It's the Paasche Talon TS set. It comes with the air hose, hanger, two wrenches, a siphon bottle, a storage bottle, and the metal color cup. It has the number 3 .66mm needle, nozzle, air cap installed and it includes the number 2 .38mm needle, nozzle, and air cap plus an Iwata fitting to Paasche hose adapter. These parts are shown on the left. The parts on the right I purchased with the airbrush. They are the handle and needle stop as this brush came with a plain handle, a .66mm fan air cap and three "No Name" Umo's. The Umo's are paint shakers to agitate the paint in the cup. I needed to spend an extra dollar for one more SprayGunner point (which is where the set came from) so I figured I'd give them a try. They were 3 for a dollar. If you click on the image it can get larger. |

The TS set is number 30 Joe. On the airbrush forum I'm on I qualify to be an AADMEMBER. I, too, have Airbrush Acquisition Disorder. Like some, or most, here do with plastic. The TS set goes with these. I bought the family:  I bought the TG set first. The Raptor came directly from Paasche. It was a blemished model, airbrush only, for around $60 shipped. I then saw the Vision as an open blister pack on sale for a pretty good price on SprayGunner. I redeemed some rewards and got it for a bit less than the sale price. It has a small U shaped scratch on the end of the handle that wasn't in the description but I would have bought it anyway. The TS set rounds out the whole series. With you verifying what I thought to be correct here is how they work out. The Vision has the number 0 .20mm needle, tip and air cap. The Raptor has the number 1 .25mm needle, tip and air cap. The TS has the number 2 .38mm needle, tip and air cap plus the number 3 .66mm needle, tip and air cap. I added the .66mm fan spray cap. The keen eyed observer may notice the TG set is still sealed. With the combinations I have there is no need to open it. All the parts interchange between these airbrushes so I can mix and match. I'll keep the TG set sealed. If need be I'll sell it or use it as trade bait for something else I'd like. Being the Vision and Raptor have no box, although I plan to make one for them, I have no qualms about using them. I've never used a gravity feed brush and that's the main reason I bought the TS set. I am familiar with siphon feed. |
