I haven;t been modeling too loog, very seriously for a about a year now. And I've seen some of the models on here, and they blow my mind. One day I would love to be as good as some of the modelers here, but it does take time. What I am good at is building stuff to help me do my models. If any one where to check my posts, I am working on a number of projects. What I was wondering if any one would be interested in me writing a detailed feature on buildig:
1. How to build a Air brush holder
2. How to build a Brush and tool holder
3. How to build a Paintbooth
4. How to build a Modeling desk
5. Iwata conversion to accept Tamiya bottle
6. Compressor repair
7. How to build a display case

Thats all I can think of right now. Most of these are already built, or are being built. And of course are cheap and look good. Please post if you think this would be benificial.
Thanks

I have a couple of questions. How do i submit a feature? do you have a preference on which one you would like first?

Of course you should write a feature.
I try to encourage all members to submit articles, and on displays.
Just follow the simple directions laid out in the support center.

As a simple tip for all concerned, write it up in "word" then save it. Do not embed your images in the article. Just put a place holder where you want them. (ex: image 1.... image 2, and label your images accordingly) then copy and paste your article to the submission page form.
Send up your images as a separate zip file. Name it so the editors can put 2 and 2 together.

This makes it easier for the editiors to edit.

Another important word of advice. If you feel you aren't the greatest of writers, after you write the article in MS Word, leave it for a few days and come back to it later. You will be surprised at the errors you may find.

My current comp instructor swears you should proofread backward. Says you wont get caught up in content and you'll catch more punctuation errors and such
