  1. Google Play has an app for paint reference called "Scale model helper", also "Hobby color converter" Check them out. Woodland sceneics has a App for scale conversions also.
  2. Vantastic! I wonder if AMT used this exclusively for shipping the Auto Transport Trailer kits.
  3. They have larger boxes, sometimes they sell for 5 bucks or so. I've scored a few bigger boxes as well as display boxes too.
  4. Really cool... Is that a low temp alloy?
  5. Wow! Does anyone know if this is still available?
  6. Great tip! They'll probably be less likely to oxidize too!
  7. Very nice...I was considering skipping the clearcoat, not anymore, it looks great!
  8. Wow! They are about 10 minutes from me too Clayton. Strange! Blown away they had the new 71 Fords the other day. I remember thinking hobby peeps' model kit prices should be better considering they probably make a mint on all that R/C stuff. Only been to Pegasus a couple of times, and would stop by a hobby shop in Whittier, but can't remember the name. I think it was on Greenleaf St. across from the theatre. Pretty sure they're gone though.
  9. Nice touch with the bailing wire on the exhaust. What a cool build!
  10. I don't recommend going to Hobby People, but sometimes I end up there for a tool or some metal. They are up in Pasadena off of Hill Street., after you're done you can go to Tommy's down the street for a chili burger and fries.
  11. Fantastic job on the Cammo, and hand lettering!
  12. Warbird Hobbies https://www.facebook.com/pages/Warbird-Decals/125364357479427?sk=info&tab=overview 1:00 PM - 5:00 PM Closed until Friday June 26th The hours are kind of strange, sometimes they go to shows and the shop is closed while they're out. Best thing to do is call them first. (626) 487-5354 2434 W Main St Alhambra, California My apologies in advance if they are closed when you arrive.
  13. Not exactly on your side of town, but check out Los Angeles Miniaturists in "Burn"bank. https://www.facebook.com/LAminiaturists?fref=photo I'd like to check them out, but I've been working on Saturdays for the last year or so. I've bumped into a few of them at House Of Hobbies, always nice guys and invited me to come visit them.
  14. Just wondering if the search function on Scalefinishes is working for anyone else... or is it just me? I need Honda Root beer brown and thought about looking there but couldn't find it.
  15. This phenomena has reared it's ugly head more than once for me. Try a cut so you can see how much or how little the cut end rolls down, careful not to clean up the tube beyond the dimensions you require. Sometimes I use my Zona saw and a mitre box, just depends which cigar box is closest to me.
  16. Read something about that on their Facebook page. Not sure if anyone has seen any Test shots at any shows.
  17. Love the "Meats" tucked up under this beast..very tidy.
  18. Great work Chuck! Can't wait to try my hand at weathering soon, I doubt it'll come out as nice as yours, but it looks like so much fun! Thanks for sharing!
