Hi there,

I came across an Omegon 70 700 az2 for pretty cheap (40€) and it rekindled my urge to start stargazing,

Should I go for it or spend this on a good pair of binoculars instead to start out?

Thank you,

Best regards.

Hi there,

A year ago I bought a Weltmeister that needed some care as the shipping made most of the wax crack and reeds were everywhere on the bellows,

Most of them I could wax them back with some help from youtube and it is mostly working (one voice only, though, the voice changing mechanism is broken aswell. :( )

I have some reeds that I can't figure out where they are from so I'm out of luck with those,

How can I make a simple reed tester without a second pair of bellows? Is pinging enough to see what note they are?

Thanks a lot!

Hey there, I was browsing some instruments and this Besson Crescendo popped for 60€, should I buy it as my first trumpet?

Looking forward for your replies :)

Thanks!

Hey there.

Can I diy anything to play it while they send me a bridge? What's the bridge height?

Thank you!

Hello there people,

I joined so I can get to know how to properly wash my new car, without scratching it.

My water here is hard hard hard and as soon as we got some summer rain, the car was brown, I went with my pressure washer and had a go at it at night, in the morning it was full of the dreaded water deposit thingies.

How/should I wash it without scratching my paint? I have 2 mitts from amazon, bought a drying towel today and have some supermarket car soap, a pressure washer, and buckets for a lifetime but I don't know how to proceed, I'm kind of scared of scratching the car, it's 1 week old. :)

Thanks!

Hey there,

I have a soft spot these racing beasts and I've been dwelling Fat Alfie tracks and some cars available at Overtake for a while,

Wanted to know your opinions on other cars and tracks (quality stuff) so I can try them out and expand my portfolio.

Thanks a lot!

Viva pessoal,

Guerra declarada à mangueira, a água daqui é super dura e agora com um carro de outra cor mais escura só vejo manchas castanhas que até me cai uma lágrima.

Como posso fazer para retirar essas manchas sem lixar a pintura toda uma vez que o carro é novo?

Muito agradecido!

Viva pessoal,

Desde que me lembro que adoro a tradição das máscaras, o entrudo de Lazarim, Góis e Podence.

Agora como tenho um espaço que posso usar como "oficina" e sou uma pessoa que adora artes destas manuais gostava de começar a fazer (ou tentar) umas máscaras tradicionais sendo elas de madeira ou outros materiais, contudo, como uma arte mais antiga e tradicional, acho que não será no nosso amigo youtube que vou encontrar grandes vídeos sobre os primeiros passos, sejam eles técnicas, materiais e ferramentas.

Alguém tem uma ideia de onde posso obter mais informações sobre esta arte?

Visto que vivo na margem sul também acho que não há nenhum artesão por perto a quem possa perguntar umas coisas.

Obrigado.

Hey there,

I'm looking to start a collection but I can't get the scale down,

I have some Pop Race 1/64s and they are gorgeous and space-savvy but I can't seem to find my favorite cars, them being 90s BTCC and DTM cars.

What scale and brands do you recommend for those? Not looking for high end stuff but a bit better than my old Burago's. :)

Thanks a lot!

Boas,

Tenho um portão daqueles grandes de correr, na entrada da casa, como ainda não tem motor não há possibilidade de trancar e queria montar uma fechadura para ter mais segurança.

Quais fechaduras posso/devo usar? Muito obrigado!

Hello there,

Now that my little ones are completing the 3rd week I wondered if I could change the bedding from kitchen roll to sand.

I have lots of sand to spare and wanted to know if it is safe.

Thank you!

Hey there,

As per the title, is there any way to modify the more budget oriented options like the T16000 or the WinWing Ursa Minor as a center stick?

I wanted to modify my setup to make it more immersive, I only fly WW1 birds (and some ww2 German birds).

Thank you.
