  1. Rolf, you're a great dad! hang in there! it will work out for you

    I really feel ashamed for other women.

    Karin...

    you need not be ashamed. There are pigs on each side.

    Men/fathers want to know nothing of their children and women/mothers abuse their children for their power game etc etc...

    It is bad, that on the back of the child must be discharged :(

    I just hope, that for Sylvester and Rolf all ends well....

  2. Oh man... :(

    sry to hear that bro...

    and again to go unanswered, what the child wants or what is the best for the child :angry:

    what can i say...stay strong for you and for your son.

    I express the thumbs to you and your son :)

    Best wishes from here...

  3. I hear that Dishwasher soap works too am I right?

    Now, it's more of a stopgap...you can use this, but the silicone degreaser would be better. If you can get such a cleaner, i would prefer that ;)

    Look in your local DIY store, because it would have to give something...or ask the staff in the DIY store.

    I have found something for you-

    "What are you cleaning?

    1. Degreasing old finishes and new parts:

    Old finishes need to be cleaned with soap and water first.

    Use clean water and soap.

    Then a degreaser for painted surfaces with clean cloths.

    After sanding with the correct grit you need to clean with soap and water again because your hands contain salt and oil which will cause a defect, unless you sanded with gloves or were careful not to touch the surface.

    Then a degreaser again. Use clean new cloths. Use one cloth to put it on and one to take it off. Don't let it evaporate on the surface. Make sure you remove it from the surface. Do this until the cloths come up clean. If the cleanup cloth is dirty then you need to degrease again. The surface is ready for the next step.

    Degreasing plastic parts.

    The only difference is the degreaser used. It must be non-flammable because plastic parts will store a static charge from any sanding or wiping just like a nylon rug and it can catch fire. This has happened four times in the U.S.. Plastic parts absorb solvents so you need to let them air out before you go on to the next step."

    It's from this web site-

    ...hope this helps.

  4. Hi Miranda...

    After you have removed the paint, as described karin, you can do the following......

    -then clean the helmet good with a silicone degreaser.

    -next, grind the helmet with water sand paper P800-P1000.

    -next step...use a good primer for plastic and then a sanding primer.

    -this grind again with P1000 water sand paper.

    -clean the bucket again with silicone degreaser.

    -then paint the lid again in the desired shade.

    I hope this helps :)

  5. Me flirt? never! ^_^ ;):lol:

    A little flirt never hurts :P ...ok joke...sry ;)

    I used to have a Captain Rex and used a similar idea I guess and used black acrylic paint mixed with Windex. I suppose I could do this the same way? I am just worried about rain since I live in a part of Alaska that is part of the Tongass rain forest. Could I use a clear coat after I am done?

    I used finally semigloss clearcoat...that should be enough ;):)

  6. Ugh! You are one beautiful dirty trooper! Can I roll in the dirt with you? *grin* j/k hehe :lol:

    Hey Miranda

    ...you flirt with me ;):lol::P:) hehehe...

    Which paints did you use to brush on the details on your suit? I am about to convert my clean suit to a dirty one as well and would love to get a similar look like this with the 2 tones.

    I used two color tones(all on water basis)...dark brown and beige...at least for the fine dust i've used ivory.

    But on another armor, i would rather take only dark brown...it's more accurate ;)

    It was my first weathering on an armor.

    To dab the color always first, then rub and wipe off again. At the lower place, slightly less water add to make it still darker...

    I hope this helps :)

    Greetings...
