I do truly enjoy you'r build threads Merzo. You'r builds from scratch are amazing and inspiring.

Considering that a few home-made napalm recipes include styrofoam as the "sticky" component, the comment on "weak napalm " is a literal truth.
NOT that in this day and age I'd ever suggest where to find such recipes.

The fact remains though, that chemically melting styrofoam IS extremely sticky when in contact with anything, especially human skin, and it takes a lot to neutralise it. Usually milk, or lemon juice or vinegar. Followed by baby oil, because water will cause the chemical burn to resume.

All of that aside though: I very much admire the works I see in build here on this forum, both Merzo's, your own, and Closet Astronaut's.

Kind and Respectful Regards Paper Kosmonaut my friend, Uyraell.

Hello Merzo, Warm greetings to you!

I am very pleased my suggestion was useful to you. It is a good and happy feeling when a small suggestion helps a fellow modeller.

I very much admire your skills in building the wonderful models you share with us here on our forum.

I am looking eagerly forward to seeing this build progress and completed.

Hi

A little bit infulenza epidemic and my nose ......Attempts to engine. According to knowledge this two engines building. The big bell the braking ,the two little bells the landing



I know copper is again .... But there can not be done without it.







Now the term, which is responsible for developing the many images I was looking for but not found in many










I hope you hit the concept, because I could not find accurate documentation, and much, much I was looking for. This idea is also the land Lunakhod 3 lander was looking for photos of készült.Sokat but there is no better. If someone can source great big thanks..

The Apollo expeditions, the hammers are also accurate documentation, but nothing here ....

Well, good day

Not much time for art paper....A cold bit.

Experimenting in the paint. I always used Humbrol model paint. Synthetic Thinner, and sitofoam not like .... The water-based acrylic on paper does not like.

you must use the acrylic animal. The foundation brush a thin lubrication. The dry layer is waterproof. But too many stairs iígy the finished surface



The first layer is blowing ..Then another 24 hours to dry.







Intermediate state .. Two more layers of paint I was just curious .......



The hoped-for results. I know that in reality the colors are a little different, but I like it.
