    Finished the first Model airplane I've built since I was a teenager!

    Such a great Wow that is cool. I had a buddy who build quality models like this. He had an artist's eye. Me not so much. Great job.

    Firearms Inventory tagging Question

    I use an excel spreadsheet to log my firearms. All details, matching grips, oddities, rare or not, current price, etc. I then save to a backup drive and also email it to myself and store it in a folder. The Excel sheet is password protected.

    Opinions on cold blue touchup/repairs

    Never thought of using lighter fluid. I'm a stamp collector and we use that for watermarks. Today was a good day. I learned something.

    Opinions on cold blue touchup/repairs

    To be truthful, after the 4 coats I very lightly cleaned/polished the entire revolver with Flitz. That made the whole revolver pop big time.

    Opinions on cold blue touchup/repairs

    My buddy said he's had the pen a year or so, stored in his cleaning box. No harm giving it a try. I was happy with the outcome. I may try a few more coats. As I look at a close up of the photos, I can see the seams. But maybe I am looking to close.

    Wow that is a beauty. Shocks, Pegs, Sweet.........:D. I loved it when you buy a revolver with all the extras. Looks low mileage also. Great find.

    Opinions on cold blue touchup/repairs

    Had a friend who had a touchup bluing pen. Applied 4 coats. Cleaned and polished with a new dollar bill between each coat. Just enough hard texture. I think it turned out darn well.

    Your referring to blending in the repair to the effected spot? What kit do you recommend? Thanks

    Opinions on cold blue touchup/repairs

    I own this 15-3 (posted previously about sourcing grips). The blued finish is pretty good except for 2 spots on the cylinder. See the attached pics. Is it worth getting a cold blue kit to touch this up or not? Thanks

    Knife sharpening

    I have one of those also and love it. My only issue is being carful not to remove the point on the knife. I believe it actually mentions something in the manual
