daytonadude Posted June 9, 2011 Just startin to do model cars, have a badger airbrush and a cambell compressor. Will update to a better pic later. Any advice on things that will make things a little bit easier will be appreciated Thanks, Trey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DRG Posted June 9, 2011 From the looks of the model you posted you have everything you need. I have found that a good, quiet place to work, an organized workbench, all the files, knifes, glues and putty's pretty much do it. Of course then there's the drills, pin vises, dremel tool and bits.

charlie8575 Posted June 11, 2011 Nice work for the first-time out. For Internet retailers, I like Model Roundup. I also know people have dealt with Dean's and several other places. The good shops tend to be the ones that stay around for a while. If possible, go with your local shop so you can see and feel the product, I find it makes a difference, and supporting a good local hobby shop helps keep the hobby healthy. Welcome to the board.

Rob McKee Posted June 15, 2011 I have ordered from Model Express many times and have never been disappointed. http://www.modelexpress.net/ He often has kits that are OOP and many detail parts. Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
