  6. Well, now you're definatly on someone's list... Great work
  7. In my younger days, I was working with plexiglas for one of our jobs. I was shown by coworker that by sanding the edges smooth (belt sander with 80ish grit, and not perfect), the edges could be quickly polished with a torch (we were using oxy-aceteletine) to be as clear as the sheet. The flame was with a welding tip, nowhere near the hottest setting, and quickly moving the flame along the edge. If you lingered or went too slow, then bubbles would be raised and the surface scared. It stands to reason that the same could be done with the kydex, maybe with a propane, map, or butane torch? Worth a try, work on some scrap, could save you a lot of time.
  8. As always a pleasure to view your work. Beautiful.
  9. Thank you for sharing, the knowledge and beautiful work.

    Air Brush

    If possable, stay away from the airbrushes with the needle that runs down the middle of the body, They tend to damage more and are more complicated. I've used the Aztec, sold in the U.S. by testors for years, It is the double action model polimer body, and isn't the $15 plastic one. It is the easiest to clean, and most user friendly design I've used for general purspose. It isn't neccesarly a graphic art airbrush, and I havn't pushed it in that direction, but I have gotten some good results in detail work. As for moisture, after running your compressor (provided it is the type with a tank or resovoir) you should open the petcock (the dozzle on the bottom) to drain any moisture that has condensed in the tank, to minimize the tank rusting out. I've never had any experience with the diaphram type airbrush compressors, I've always used a compressor with a tank and regulator.
  16. They look more than good
