i like the blue revell contacta or humbrol poly cement in the bottles with needles. the humbrol is probably my first choice as its slower flowing than the revell, but they both work well.
if its a slightly off white crystaline residue its just dried totally awesome. stick it back in for ten mins then scrub it in soapy water and it should come off. i like the totaly awesome cleaner as its safe to strip resin in unlike others
coolest would have to be the seafood factories but thats cos they are chilled. the hardest was probably nightwatch on the boat. nothing to do most of the time but when something went wrong it was always 3 in the morning and i had to wake up the bosses. a big highlight was learning by phone how to drop the anchor when she broke loose in a storm and because the ship was under refit there were no torches to be found as everything was being certified. i saved the ship but there was a lot of damage. to be fair though, when nothing was happening i built models
why have question section if he cant use it? some of us just are still fairly new to models so this section can help. keep asking questions Donny, they also help other folk that might not want to ask
a couple of places have them reduced just now on ebay. the boxes are pretty packed too so they wouldn't even reduce much out of them. i'm enjoying the one i'm building
