How to paint the "tinted section" of windows
jeffdeoranut replied to 97v8's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
1 for the black edges around windshields i use a wide sharpie...if u mess up 90% alcohol will remove sharpie. i actually use 70% hand sanitizer cause its in gel form n easier to control. 2 for the tint at top of windshield if u can find a wide blue sharpie it works great. -
hello bill, how can i see your products u have for sale? thanks, jeff

Hobby Lobby Summer 19 clearance

oh, i hope thats not true, just the rumors ive heard. -
Hobby Lobby Summer 19 clearance
jeffdeoranut replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
as i understand it the kts on clearance now was because the mfg notified hl that these kits were gonna be discontinued. the shelf reset is something hl does periodically and then they will put on clearance items that they dont intend to have after the shelves are reset. it probably means that the shelf space dedicated to models/paint/supplies will get smaller. -

If I Ran Revell....
jeffdeoranut replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
sure fire way to get youngsters interested in building models: 1 design a "must have" app for their phones 2 include app in model box but it ONLY works if model is built. if the right app is picked their parents would pay 100 bucks for a kit/app combo...of course the kits must have a prepainted body...lol -
