I've had a decent airbrush (Badger Renegade Velocity) for several years, but had only really used it for some of my Rhodesian vehicles. It was nice to finally overcome my reluctance/fear of primarily painting a non-vehicle model with an airbrush. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your new compressor! The work on your blog is most excellent and I look forward to what you do next!Ryan Skowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005219749335015663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-41255005397300247872022-12-31T13:10:54.870-06:002022-12-31T13:10:54.870-06:00You continue to knock it out of the park with thes...You continue to knock it out of the park with these guys!

I ended up just using the original Zombicide boxes to hold all of the game components. I consolidated everything into two of the boxes - one for all of the tiles from all of the expansions and one for everything else (besides the miniatures of course).<br /><br />I can still carry everything around in one trip so it works out fine for me.

The dimensions of the trays appear to be too small to hold tiles, much to my disappointment.

You can probably rig something up to avoid having to buy the depth guide, but you definitely need to make some sort of jig to get consistent (and fast) results. <br /><br />My dremmel is packed up and in storage in oreoaration for a move, but your dremmel seems fine. If you can't get the depth guide nor jig, you can try setting both the miniature and dremmel on the table and pushing the base onto the dremmel. I tried a few like that, but th e results weren't great (several drill-throughs) and it was about 20x slower than with jig\depth gague.

The only thing I can think of is that I push it down rather quickly and firmly so the bit doesn't have a chance to wander. <br /><br />I was planning on making a counter-sunk slot for the base to exactly fit into and allow the hole to be perfectly centered each time, but just doing it by hand worked well enough for me so I didn't bother. <br /><br />Please post back if you continue to have trouble or if you figure it out - your experience could help someone else out.<br /><br />Thanks!Ryan Skowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005219749335015663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-63398605942579213392015-09-08T17:35:17.944-05:002015-09-08T17:35:17.944-05:00I also have a dremel, i bought just for this.
