  1. So I've been collecting models for a while now...mainly Japanese sports cars(Tamiya, Aoshima, Fujimi) and I've finally decided to take the plunge and start building them. I decided to start with a Tamiya 180SX as it looks to be the simplest and one of the more ordinary cars I have. So I washed the parts off in soapy water, rinsed and dried them. I'm using tamiya paints. Well....3 brush strokes in and i'm disapointed lol. I purchased some golden synthetic brushes to use. I started painting the back seats in the interior tub and it didn't go to well. I can see the brush strokes. It almost seems like its drying to fast? It gets all "gloopy" as i'm painting. I made sure to shake n stir for several minutes. I don't really want to drop the cash on an airbrush while i'm still a beginner. Now I know this first model is going to be far from perfect, but i'd like to be at least satisfied that I made a good starting point. Any tips for the new guy? Do I need to use different brushes? Does the paint need to be thinned? Do I need to prime an interior tub? Any paint tips would be really appreciated, thank you!
  2. Finally decided to crack open the models I've collected to actually build em. Name's Mike...30 Yrs old, most of my collection is Japanese vehicles(Big s-chassis fan). Decided i'd finally make an account to be able to ask some questions and learn some stuff.
