Finger nail powder chrome works great
SfanGoch replied to my66s55's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
What's the product name? That would make it much easier searching for it with Google. A general search comes up with dozens of products, not necessarily the one you used. -
Baking Powder as Flocking?
SfanGoch replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Call Arm & Hammer and they'll tell you it's a bad idea. The sodium bicarbonate will break down as a result of chemical interaction of the lacquers and/or enamels that it was in contact and/or combined with. The baking soda breaks down and becomes a gunky, oily, resinous yellow-brown ooze as a byproduct. It's not a matter of if, but when, the baking soda breaks down. It won't happen immediately; but, when you notice the goop seeping from under the paint, you'll regret using it. Armor modelers have been wise to this for years and avoid it like the plague. -
Installing clear parts without fogging: How!
SfanGoch replied to conchan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Good! Better than stuffing them in your nostrils for entertainment purposes. -
Actually. it has to do with hygiene. They don't want any possible nasty stuff left dirty toys by previous kids to spread. That's what the manager of the store in Brooklyn told me when I wanted to donate my son's baby toys. They have no problem reselling used shoes and funky, armpit smelling clothes, though.

No, acrylics only. Enamel paints will not allow water to penetrate to allow it to soften the hairspray.

Atlantis Models has bought another lot of tooling/molds.....
SfanGoch replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Another weak point on all of the Tri-Five kits is where the rocker panel meets the rear of the door opening. It has the tendency to break if you spread the body apart when placing it on the chassis. I cement a 1.5 x .5mm strip along that area to reinforce it and reduce stress. -

SfanGoch replied to Dave Van's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
I emailed Peter regarding the delay in releasing the '57 Nomad. He said the reason for the delay is that he's making changes to the tool. -
Removing paint from one piece window unit.
SfanGoch replied to John M.'s topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Steve, ELO will remove the paint without causing the clear styrene to haze or fog. Just don't soak the glass, or any other parts, in it. Use a brush to apply it. Once the paint starts to lift, scrub the glass with a toothbrush using dishwashing liquid under warm water. Polish the glass to remove any scratches and give it a dip in the acrylic floor finish of your choice. -
Well, there is a theory, identical to the micro black hole theory which you mention, that came to me when I woke up on a stoop in Innsbruck, Austria following a historic all-day drunkfest in the scenic ski resort of Garmisch-Partenkirchen. This was my story as to how I ended up there and I'm sticking with it.

This is where all of those small, irreplaceable parts launched from your tweezers end up.

B-52 BUFF
SfanGoch replied to Kit Basher's topic in All The Rest: Motorcycles, Aviation, Military, Sci-Fi, Figures
That's not black. ACC (Air Combat Command) BUFFs are painted in overall FS36118 Gunship Gray. -
So, from this information, we can deduce that Martians don't shop at the Big & Tall Man store.
