have you considered using white duplicolour primer? it matches tamiya pure white once its cleared and if you let it sit an extra 24 hours to gas out can be used with tamiya paints without drama.

Ed Fluck suggests using thinners.

One tip, be sure and put the booth at a comfortable height. I put mine too low so now have to build a new unit for it

I had one of those ut calibras a few years ago and i thought it might be underscaled compared to the tamiya but i only had the alfa dtm to compare it to. It was just a feeling i got from the kit but to put my mind at rest would you mind comparing the bodies? I put all the gubbins under kenmary skyline eventually

14 years after being told she would never hold a flight licence, and 12 years after being diagnosed with ms, my sister has proved everyone wrong again and can now fly. I'm going to be spending friday grafitting her garden shed in celebration so if you have good plane or flight puns related to celebration please share them. I already have up, up and away planned so it flows with an aircraft outline but theres a whole other wall to do. We're going to paint it over the next few weeks anyway so i'm going to have fun with it.

YOU need to read the be respectful part again. Our members are not idiots but you call them clueless while quoting the rule about being respectful. So in your process of having to prove your superiority over everyone else (as you do every day again and again) you have proven you didn't even read what you quoted. Maybe you should get someone to proof read your posts before you post them?

Very cool, I could see this in option mag or a wekfest event

thats the middle of scotland and western isles, we speak closer to norn in the north isles which is like old scandinavian crossed with germanic english. i can understand a little but it easier if your drunk, lol

i just had the same problem and only a tiny bit came off. i'll otuch it up with molotowe after polishing as the rest seems to be sealed down ok

thinners and a cotton bud then washed in clean soapy water. if i dont have thinners i use ipa. i only do a little at a time and dont soak the whole thing if its a body

you do all speak cantonese dont ye?

what style of revos do you need a pic off? most of the euro classic ford tuning stores have pics of the 4 and 5 spokes or any issue of classic ford mag will have ads for them.

spring 1988. i was an extra in a tv movie so had earned some cash and it was way more than my folks earned. convoy had recently been on tv so i spent half my wage on a american truck. probably by italeri and rubber duck shape. i now know it was a pete but i just saw the shape and to me it was rubber duck. post office red chassis, white primer interior and matt black paint all from humbrol. i still have a few parts but most is long gone

to think it all started with seal skins and fur. the first store is on this side of the pond is now a lighthouse storeyard and museum. the boat i was on spent 2 years there.

theres a hudson bay company anniversary (350 years maybe)in the next few years so there will probably be some deals then. my dad did the last one a got 2 weeks in canada for £15 but that was near 50 years ago

I dont know how you guys can work in such neatness. I have tried it and it just dont work for me. I have random parts scattered across my bench as i never know when an idea will take my fancy. If a kits within arms reach of my bench it being worked on currently, not necessaraly this week but i've done something recently with it. I'll start to the left of my model room door. It used to be my bedroom but i moved my bed into my front room as i rarely get visitors and i got sick of living in a stack of boxes and sanding dust and it also keeps my flat cleaner. inside the wardrobe is 3d kits and some larger kit boxes and some of my tamiya bug kits. theres a case of them at mums house too. next we move left to the start of the stash. i need more shelving, lol next up is the booth and bench. my airbrush is in the cupboard under the bench and the drawers are decals, detailing stuff, tools i dont use much, sand paper and evergreen rods and sheets. i did keep my rods in kitchen towel tubes stacked on my bench but they got squashed and i've not got around to getting some plastic sink pipe yet. My bench usually looks like this. Its and old computer desk and the keyboard drawer holds my big files, saws drill bits and other larger tools i use often. i have my small files stuck in a bit o polystyrene and my brush paints in the clear trays but they'll be moving to that small wooden drawers at some point. the filter is out of the booth for replacement but usually looks like cement, lol. to the right of my bench we have spray paints, detail parts, supplies, more kits and some large scale kits under the unit but not pictured, large totes of loosely sorted parts kits or bagged kits and finally for the model room another cupboard full of spray paints next we have my front room which also has a bench but its being used for my computers just now. i have a display unit for some builds and my 3d printing station. I keep my printers covered as we get a lot of uv light first thing in the morning with being so far north so this helps with that in summer and keeps them warmer in winter. I have another cupboard in my kitchen for my 3d printer stuff. Well thats it for this edition of cribs, you have seen the majority of my home as its very small I'm not tidy but i find this works for me

fingers crossed, then i can say with surety that i've reached his standard

i've ordered from spot model, scale production, highlight model studio, uscp, diolex and others around the world with no problems. I'm in scotland but the shipping delays usually mean customs haven't got to it yet. if its just a couple sets of wheels it would be faster as it can go in with letters. the bigger the box, the longer the wait

appologies about strange formatting o sme words, i got caught in the no page error and had to alter some to post

The italeri 70s rally car kits have them if you want plastic but there are loads of opt1ons in 3d. spot model will have a sel3ction to choose from but most european stores that sell rims will. a few japanese kits have them too but any from a mi1ni will be too small as the old ones only went up to 12x5.5. I recently printed some 13 alleycats with tyres but thats more 70s style.

I've got mine in some 8x8 clear trays. i have mine grouped by brand. I am going to be moving them into a recently purchased drawers unit though

has one of the recent revell hotrods got anything? i know i've seen them in something i looked through recently

would the rears from the amt 62 bel aire work? i'm sure it has a drag steels option left from the drag cars

you need to give the whole body a decent sanding to key it. i like used 600 sanding sponges (sticks or pads) but anything between 600 and 1000 will do. the tamiya paints like to have a keyed surface. another option is an abrasive household cleaner such as cif or comet and you can get into the edges better. are you using tamiya tape? i've found its got poor so i'm using frog stain block tape. less sticky but wont mark the paint like tamiya does now. also you might be leaving too long between primer coats, at 20 mins your spraying onto a drier surface so it wont dry properly. its sealing it as seperate layers while if you build it up with a few quick dust coats building up to heavier coats to start on a sanded body it will dry as one layer and be less likely to pull off. this is a bad pic but this was given a 600 sand, slow build up of primer then sat overnight in a warm window, then after a full 24 hours i did the same process with the paint, let sit for ten mins ish and got 2 light coats of clear. it then sat 3 days and got a 2500 sand all over and i repeated the process with the clear. ignore thecouple of runs, its not been polished yet

a more subtle and legal way would be to get one of those grow your own mush room kits and put it in the ac vent. If you accidentaly forget they are there they eventually start to rot and that smell is tough to get rid off. it gets in their clothes, hair and carpets and eventually its like rotting corpses (bonus points if you use the actual rotting corpse variety but you probably dont want to go near those,lol)
