Pink paint may not be as daft as it sounds.
Wasn't there a Tamiya model of a Pink Desert Jeep a few years ago and if we can have a "Pink Panther" I'm sure we can have a "Pink Tiger"!!
Seriously though I am always interested in things that can transfer from one area of modelling to another as there seems to be a lot of people who concentrate on thier own areas of modelling and don't realise that there are usefull things available in other areas.
I realise I never put the pictures of my boat with the Nebuliser smoke generator so I'll sort those out later. meanwhile how does the Hen Long smoke machine work? Is it a heater with oil in it or something more sophisticated.
The trouble with heated oil is, of course, it is always white smoke and the majority of diesel engine smoke is black. I havent tried yet but apparently with the nebuliser you can add colouring to the water, such as food colouring, and the "smoke" will be appriopriately coloured. The trouble is the vapour, being cold, is heavy and so I may end up with a very well stained boat for my troubles.
I might have an experiment though. The first person that can achieve black smoke from thier model will be on to a winner! |
