    that was to unsubscribe from our news letter and FISD updates.

     

     

    Question for the other way: How can i subscribe to those? I'm sure I was once subscribed to the newsletter and got that on my normal mail. Since a few months that's not the case anymore.

    Or do I misremember something?

     

    Nevermind. I found it :D

    Popped up on the side of the forum somehow.

    Thank you very much =) 
    It's astonishing how helpful the FISD is. It's a real joy to see :)

     

    But I can't promise if I do Level 3. First I have to finish some other projects ;)

    (A Mousedroid, a Sandtrooper and a Zombietrooper). 

    But I'm trying to convince a fellow trooper and our CO (both with IronMotion Armor) to go for EIB to help the FISD to reach that magic 1000. I assume they have the same things to fix as I had, so that should be easy for them. 

    Cheers! :)

    Little Stormie had a visit at the dentist. :)

    Scratched the paint away with a toothpick and with the help of Sonax Schleifpaste (sanding paste) on a cotton swab. André from IronMotion recommended that product. Works great for Humbrol colors. (I'm just posting this if anyone in the future has the same problem and finds this thread in the search results ;D ) 

     

    Anyway, Results: 

     

    The first two pics are after I removed the color. The teeth in the middle had some ugly borders after that. So I painted them with a layer of Humbrol 05.

    Picture Nr. 3 is the final result. The color isn't fully dry yet. 

     

    Better now? :)

    Good news everyone 

     

    I redid the Ammo pack with double cap rivets.

    Now the other good news:

    I was in this leather shop, looking for single cap rivets and I asked him "You don't have split rivets, do you?" and he said "Of course I have" which was totally unexpected as I didn't believe a leather shop would have such things. Switzerland ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

    The bad thing is, they're golden. The good thing is, it's only a coating. After I sanded it with 400 and 5000 sanding paper, it looked like in the picture below. Now I can mirror myself in them :D

     

    So, the question is: What do you think, should I redo the cod rivet and replace it with the split rivet? On one hand, it'll look better and the rebels can see themselves when they lie dying on the battlefield and we march over them. On the other hand, I never worked with such rivets before and I feel a bit weird to have pointy things in that region :)

     

    In theory I could also redo the ammo pack with those, but I believe that the double cap rivets are more stable and according to the CRL they're okay too.

    Cod rivet done after a lot of swearing because those rivets are the worst. (The bronze part didn't split properly. Wasted ~5 rivets for this part)

     

    It also was a real pain to remove the ammo pack rivets only to find out, that these darn rivets are to short to re-attach the pack. 

    Anyway, tomorrow I visit the capital city. There should be a store with the right rivets. Maybe I'll redo the cod rivet too. 

     

    Anyway... time for something relaxing before I go real mad. 

    See ya tomorrow.
