Film waterline. Tips for a modeler

Modeling

At first, it is difficult for a novice ship modeler to draw a clear and beautiful waterline on board a ship or vessel. This task can be greatly simplified by using the method used in the ship modeling circle in Kaspiysk.

First of all, you will need old film stock. Wash it off the emulsion with warm water, dry it and apply a nitro paint of the color you need with a spray gun. When it dries, cut the film into strips. It remains to glue them with enamel to the body with the painted side to the side of the model.

Film strip waterline

It is also possible to “beat off” the waterline on a finished model, but in this case the film will protrude above its surface. It is better to stick the film on the case prepared for painting. After finishing and sanding with fine-grained waterproof sandpaper, it will be flush with the top coat of paint.

The world's tallest astronomical observatory opened 04.05.2024

Exploring space and its mysteries is a task that attracts the attention of astronomers from all over the world. In the fresh air of the high mountains, far from city light pollution, the stars and planets reveal their secrets with greater clarity. A new page is opening in the history of astronomy with the opening of the world's highest astronomical observatory - the Atacama Observatory of the University of Tokyo. The Atacama Observatory, located at an altitude of 5640 meters above sea level, opens up new opportunities for astronomers in the study of space. This site has become the highest location for a ground-based telescope, providing researchers with a unique tool for studying infrared waves in the Universe. Although the high altitude location provides clearer skies and less interference from the atmosphere, building an observatory on a high mountain poses enormous difficulties and challenges. However, despite the difficulties, the new observatory opens up broad research prospects for astronomers. ... >>

Controlling objects using air currents 04.05.2024

The development of robotics continues to open up new prospects for us in the field of automation and control of various objects. Recently, Finnish scientists presented an innovative approach to controlling humanoid robots using air currents. This method promises to revolutionize the way objects are manipulated and open new horizons in the field of robotics. The idea of controlling objects using air currents is not new, but until recently, implementing such concepts remained a challenge. Finnish researchers have developed an innovative method that allows robots to manipulate objects using special air jets as "air fingers". The air flow control algorithm, developed by a team of specialists, is based on a thorough study of the movement of objects in the air flow. The air jet control system, carried out using special motors, allows you to direct objects without resorting to physical ... >>

Purebred dogs get sick no more often than purebred dogs 03.05.2024

Caring for the health of our pets is an important aspect of the life of every dog owner. However, there is a common assumption that purebred dogs are more susceptible to diseases compared to mixed dogs. New research led by researchers at the Texas School of Veterinary Medicine and Biomedical Sciences brings new perspective to this question. A study conducted by the Dog Aging Project (DAP) of more than 27 companion dogs found that purebred and mixed dogs were generally equally likely to experience various diseases. Although some breeds may be more susceptible to certain diseases, the overall diagnosis rate is virtually the same between both groups. The Dog Aging Project's chief veterinarian, Dr. Keith Creevy, notes that there are several well-known diseases that are more common in certain breeds of dogs, which supports the notion that purebred dogs are more susceptible to disease. ... >>

TPS62510 - 1,5A Buck Converter for Portable Devices 29.07.2006

Texas Instruments has unveiled a new 1,5A DC/DC buck converter that can significantly extend the runtime of alkaline or nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries (up to 2 cells per battery) used in a variety of portable electronics.

The TPS62510 is 97% efficient and operates with input voltages ranging from 1,8V to 3,8V. The device can operate with 3,3V, 2,5V, or 1,8V point-of-load power supplies The TPS62150 operates at a fixed frequency of 1 MHz in PWM mode and provides high efficiency at rated load currents. At low load currents, the device can automatically switch to reduced power consumption mode.

The TPS62510 improves overall system reliability. This is made possible by constantly monitoring the power supply voltage as well as the converter output voltage, eliminating the possibility of undesirable voltage fluctuations.
