Tumble dried models

Just got a new dryer that has a sweater rack. It clips inside so a sweater can lay flat to dry without being tumbled. Set on the delicate cycle, barely gets warm, and it is a quick dry booth with filtered air. Works great… just don’t let the wifey see you do it. That is a 1/144 Fw with a 3 inch wing span but there is room in there of a fairly big plane, tank… whatever.

throw some dirty socks in there for that subtle worn and weathered look.

Weathering is supposed to make it look bad… not smell bad[swg]

[(-D]

Gawh… I’d be too terrified to put a model on that rack for fear of it falling off somehow and burning down the house in a unforseen way.

But niftey idea.

[#ditto] That’s my kind of luck [:D]

How in the heck would you explain that one to the fire department and then your wife???

Isn’t funny how when you’re a modeler, the world falls into 3 categories:

  • Model
  • Tool for modeling
  • Potential tool for modeling that the use just hasn’t been discovered yet

I love the dryer idea!

Wonder if the dishwasher could be used to wash a kit before building? And the crockpot… gotta be a use there…

[:)]

Get a cardboard box, line it with aluminum foil and install a 100 watt bulb in the top.

Makes a great drying oven especially with a towel draped over the front. [tup]

Microwave anybody ?[dinner]

Plastic ala mode -l

You mean like this? [:D]

Actually, that aircraft was 1/72 before tossing it in there![;)]

ROTFL!!! [:D][:D][:D][:D]

You guys are deeply, deeply disturbed …

Which is no doubt why I feel so at home here.

You just found the solution to my shelf space problem. I will just shrink them.[:D]

Berny… if you are gonna throw it in the dishwasher… why did you weather it in the 1st place?[;)]

Nice to see I am not the only one the washes “disposable” food stoage stuff.

You are correct…We are disturbed… I was going to get professional help…NOT![:D]

A statement of truth! [(-D]

Hey YOU’RE the one who puts his models into a tumble dryer!!![(-D]

No… that was me.[:D]

Oh! Sorry!

So he might be healthy then!
