Lifted Jeep Honcho
dragstk replied to Jurva's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I came for the great looking patina and stayed for the magnets in the hood. Great build, I really like it -
Really nice build, Bob! I really like the stance and the tires and wheels. Wide white, red wheels, to me are just perfect

Revell Bronco

Nice looking Bronco, John. I really like what you did in the interior. I may have to borrow the idea of using Washi tape on seats. Thats a nice look -
Show Us Your Work Bench
dragstk replied to Bruce Poage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Here is my desk set up. I made this table when I was a jr in high school and it has gone with me every where Ive lived. And this is as messy as my desk ever gets. Im kind of a stickler in putting things back so I dont have to go look for them I have an air brush set up, just out of the pic, on the left and my stash of about 130 kits -
How many models are you working on at one time?
dragstk replied to rossfox's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I generally work on 2 builds at a time. One is a box stock + (pretty much box build with a few mods.) And I also have a long term project going. As the long term projects go slow (waiting for putty/primer, etc to dry), I work on the box stock. With my current rate of building, its 1 1/2 box stock builds to 1 long term. I have room to keep both on my bench at the same time. And like Bill, I keep notes of where I am, what colors Im using etc -
Anyone order from Plaza Japan
dragstk replied to Bigfordguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I have ordered from them twice. Other than the long delivery time, I was happy with ordering from them. I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again -

Spray Booth Exhaust Venting
dragstk replied to fcriscuo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree with Greg. I have one of those $100.00 Amazon spray booths. My window is about 5ft from my booth. I replaced about 4ft with metal piping. Made quite the difference -
Mr Hobby and Mr Color Spray paint
dragstk replied to Valvefloat's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Im not positive but I believe the Mr. Hobby paint is similar to Tamiya. Some sort of a acrylic lacquer. I have used both the spray and the bottle paints. I treat them exactly like the Tamiya paints and never had any issues. Ive also used them over each other and had no compatibility issues -
Looking for replacement blades
dragstk replied to dragstk's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
yes,Im just looking for the blades. According to the Tamiya web site, replacement blades are discontinued. So, Ive ordered the 74160 blades, made for a #11 holder. If they wont work in my scriber handle, then Ill just use the blades in a #11 holder. It seems funny that Tamiya is still selling the Scriber ll. Or maybe its just until stock runs out. Either way, Ill report back when I get blades and let you know how it goes. Thank you to all that took the time to reply -
Looking for replacement blades
dragstk replied to dragstk's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks Greg, but as far as I understand it, the 74160 is for a #11 blade holder. They are actually smaller, thinner than the ones that come in the scriber I have. The blades for the Scriber ll part # 74015. And I now see they are discontinued Now maybe 74160 blades will fit and work. I dont know, but that is what I was able to gather from my internet search. Any one have any experience with these? -
This is the well known and commonly used Tamiya Plastic Scriber ll. And mine needs a new set of blades. Does anyone know where I can get some new blades? There is none listed on the Tamiya site, or on any online hobby shop Ive been to. The scriber is marked as a Olfa product and they list the scriber but no replacement blades. Any help here would be most appreciated Jeff
