Don´t worry about a thick coat. I made good experiences with this stuff saving old decals.
Just remember to cut each decal out from the sheet, as MLDF makes a new continous film on the whole sheet.

They only showed having one in-stock and now it shows out of stock. I just let Jeff know. Told them a more accurate description would have let me make an informed decision. We'll see.BlackSheep214 wrote:Holy crap! Talk about false advertisement. Yeah get back to them and demand to get a better quality decal sheet.

Re: B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
Started putting on the common markings decals. They are thick and take a couple of applications of Microsol to settle in. I haven't taken any pictures. I am in a really foul mood right now. I'll get over it in a bit. More coffee will help.
I guess snakebit may be a good term to use on this build. Guess who took a dive off of the temporary table? Yep, she did a face plant again 
canopy - popped off, again.
nose piece - popped off again and serious cracks.
More weights came out
more interior pieces came out.
Some days, I think I am not made for this hobby. This one was purely my fault.

Ok Lyle, time to set this baby aside and start something else. Maybe your sweet grand-daughter can help. Kids can fix things too! 
Sorry to hear of your troubles on the B-29.

Oh, it is about to get "put aside" alright. I'll get it back. Miss Ella is a handful. There is a hidden switch somewhere. Goes from sweet little child to screaming, angry little dudette in, oh, a nanosecond. I think it is the word "No". Right now there are some heavy storms moving in and I'm down in the room listening to the thunder. Pretty cool. Not raining yet, but man, it is getting dark.BlackSheep214 wrote:Ok Lyle, time to set this baby aside and start something else. Maybe your sweet grand-daughter can help. Kids can fix things too!

Lyle - For pity's sake tie the damned thing to the desk! Actually no - scratch that idea - it'll probably rip the tail off 
I love the sound of thunder - it's one of the two things I like about the summer.

This beast won´t have the last word, Lyle! You will finish this B-29!! 
Here we had the first really sunny and warm day in weeks. Lots of rain, cold temperatures, shitty weather for a long time. Then, over night, summer! These large changes in climate and temperature almost knock you out...

Re: B-29 in 1/48 Monogram
Lyle, you sound like you're having just as bad a day (read:month!) as I'm having, only mine is on a larger scale. I'm having a hard time even getting to my workbench for several reasons.
One: I pulled a gluteus muscle in my left buttcheek. It takes several minutes of excruciating pain to settle into a chair when I want to sit. Then standing up creates new adventures in (literal) screaming pain which continues as I walk; until things loosen up again. Driving? I have a stick shift.. nuff said.
Monday was our hottest day of the year at 107 degrees out here. That morning my A/C decided to say "I quit! See you in Hawaii!" and hasn't worked since. The prospect of it getting fixed soon before summer is over are slim given everyone I've called is either out of town or booked up for weeks. Bottom line, it;s real hard to work on the hobby when you're sweltering in 90+ degree heat, even with a fan blowing on you.
Yeah, I feel your pain and fully understand why you're not in the best of moods. Hang in there though; have another coffee and savor every moment of that coming storm and your granddaughter. I envy you that! Things are not nearly as bad as you think. You will beat this thing. Don't let the bastard win!
