Hi Anthony,

I just want to let you know that I received the prize package on Friday. Thank you again and please convey my thanks to the folks at Flex-I-File as well! 

This was especially welcome because I always end up buying a bunch of stuff from the Flex-I-File table at IPMS USA Nationals.

Thank you again!
Best regards,
Ethan Idenmill

From Alex 

Hi.  And hello from Estonia, been a long time listener of the show and enjoy every episode.

My question is what is your opinion on cheap laser cutters/engravers from china for making painting masks and are they worth it?

Hey guys!  I wanted to share my latest build with you. This is a 1/48 F8U-3 Super Crusader. This is the Collect-Aire kit and is completely resin. I couldn’t have done it without my Super Sanding Blocks!!!

Thank you, Anthony!

Those sanding blocks saved my ass!

 

Tony Jacob chimes in

Screw-ups that we never stop making #28 – touch dry on a clear coat doesn’t mean ‘dry’.  That’s what happens when you’re impatient to finish what’s on your bench because some bright spark announces a competition on their podcast. 😂

We are not responsible for rushing previous work  (And I’ve done that as well!) – Stuart
