MCM Avid Poster (5/6)

  1. I looked up MEK on line and WallyWorld had it in quart cans for a trifling $85.00. OK does anyone know if the MEK substitute will work for a cement?
  2. I went to my model club meeting last friday which was a swap meet. While wandering around I saw a box of paint and looked a little closer and it was full of Model Masters Metalizers. They weren't for sale, they were free. The guy used to own a hobby shop a couple of years ago and was getting rid of them. So I loaded up while saving a few for other people (I'm a nice guy) (or dumb) depending on your point of view. Anyway, I'm going to horde these and they should last for several years. HOO HAA
  3. Yep, they are enamels and they are very nice. Don't have to but a black base coat like Alclad. Their chrome isn't great but the others like magnesium, aluminum etc. are very good.
  4. The flattest (dead flat) I've ever used is AK Ultra Matte. Great for places where you aren't going to be handling the surface. Terrible for bodies etc cause it's very fragile. You can rub it off with your finger.
  5. Oops, I forgot to check the archives for answers. Anyway....what primer would you recommend?
  6. Could I get some feedback about Tru-color pearl paint? Tru color says it's a "hot" acrylic whatever that means. Thanks
  7. Try sanding the whole sheet of photo etch with fine sandpaper, then prime and paint.
  8. Buy them? My wife has had issues with some of her make up brushes and sponges mysteriously disappearing. Very strange.....
  9. I use tamiya panel wash over acrylics with no ill effects. BE SURE to use it only on a gloss finish.
  10. Woah...you were right, I didn't want one That much.
  11. Is there anywhere to find a Oldsmobile toronado kit?
  12. Spray the Tamiya clear colors on the inside of the windshield, then you don't need a clear coat.
  13. I'm beginning to really dislike BMF. It won't stick where you want it to and sticks where you don't.
  14. I tried it for masking aircraft canopies but it left residue behind so I quit using it.
  15. There's also Tamiya or AK Interactive NATO Black. I use it on all my aircraft builds that require black. Both are flat paints but could be clear coated easily.
