Hey GDragon... Are you planning on an ipad/phone/touch version?
I'd love to be able to use the app.

I do have plans for that, and since I'm using Xamarin, it should be relatively easy to do, but it will require buying a development license and an actual device to test on. So, yes, but it might take some time. I do have an online version though at http://orb-software.com/scalemodelhelperonline with the same functionality.

Post by **Lee** » Sat Sep 28, 2013 10:26 pm

I would use an iPhone/iPad app too

And welcome to IMS, GreenDragon

Coen · Post by **Coen** » Sun Sep 29, 2013 1:24 am

How rude of me...

sorry GDragon... yes Welcome buddy.

Why don't' you pop over to the introduction page and say hi to everyone.

May I just add to this page by saying that Scale World has a new home at -
http://www.scaleworld.info
where I am building a new and improved site and doing things that I was unable to do on the old site. Each paint chart on the new site will be updated with all the newly released paints before going live so check there before looking on the old site. The old site is still running and will continue to do so while there is info on there. Just in case you don't know the old address is -
http://scaleworld.webs.com

(That's enough shameless advertising from me now!

Sorry!)

Hi all,

I have created a color conversion chart application for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 devices. If you have such device, just search the store for "Humbrol Paint Converter".

A feature not found in other conversion charts is the "accuracy" value assigned to each paint conversion. For example, Humbrol paint No. 14 (Gloss French Blue) is very accurate equivalent of Revell No. 52 (Gloss Blue) and has been assigend five marks. On the other hand Humbroll No. 63 (Matt Sand) is only approximately similar to Revell No. 16 (Matt Sandy Yellow) and has only one mark.

TIA

Hi Chaps,

Here's a really good paint colour resource that I came across recently (IPMSStockholm.org) and thought may be of interest to other beginners. As a newbie I found it really useful to know what colours were used by the various countries (including what years) for things such as cockpits, etc. I hear the various RLM, FS, etc colours being referenced in threads and articles though this helped me to match these to actual names of paints/colours.

http://ipmsstockholm.org/colorcharts/colorcharts.asp

Hope this helps,

Simon

Try a different browser. If you click on "download", a zip archive with a pdf file should begin downloading. Or you can get a direct link to the pdf from the OP on page 1.

I've mentioned on here before, but I've been impressed with iModelKit on iPhone, very simple to use and include a paint mixer and (if you pay extra) an inventory
