  1. My preferred method is to use the "Badger" battery operated mixer with the little propeller on the end. But I don't know how many of these mixers I've gone through. Another method I've tried is the shaker-type mixer with the rubber band that lasts about 2 months. Some people say they just shake the paint-jar; maybe with a B-B in the jar. Anyway, another "Badger" mixer just crapped out on me again. I would gladly pay a premium for a mixer of higher quality and longevity. Thanks
  2. Hello friends. I have looked all over (online) for someone to sell me some Zero Paint. Where do you 'guys' get it? I've tried Amazon. Thanks
  3. I will merely paint the wire the same color as the head liner. Not too 'fancy'. Thanks you guys.
  4. I am building the Pyro 1/32 Blower Bentley.
  5. I want to glue an LED to the inside interior roof like a courtesy light of yore. I want to show off the "beautiful" interior work I've done. Any suggestions, please?
  6. Is it best to use SpazStix own brand name black undercoat? Thanks
  7. I do not know if anyone has tried the "Lost Wax" kind of metal casting. It involves carving out of special dental wax, not regular wax, your pattern. Then you make your mold around the wax piece. Then you pour in the molten 'metal' and the wax vaporizes. You can probably find a book on this in the library. Otherwise go to "Alibris used books".
  8. When masking with Silly Putty, will it pull up the paint underneath? Thanks
  9. I was using (Castrol) Super Clean, but my source stopped carrying it. So I need a new paint stripper. Any recommendations? Thanks
  10. I have a partial aftermarket diecast 1/25 Hewland kit.. Partial because 1/2 of the piece is missing. I am not actually sure who manufactured this item. I only paid $10.00 for this: what a deal! (If it was complete.). I would like to acquire this item. Any help or info? From the same company I acquired a (complete) small block chevy with Webers. Thankyou much.
  11. Hi. I've read about some type of "flexible" or "plastic" pin striping tape that easily makes 'curves' by stretching, I guess. I've seen it at "Parts Box" but it's probably expensive there. (Although I must say I've had really good luck with "Parts Box".) Thanks.
  12. This stuff is supposedly good for "tacking" pieces together for mockup purposes. Anybody try it? 'Preciate it!
  13. I too would like to see these kits 'blown up'.
  14. How ya going? (that's Yooper speak) Mopar, in NASCAR I think, or maybe from the Ramchargers. These headers looked like the ones on automobile engine powered 'ski boats': they went high then back. I bought a set of these in 1/25 scale but do not know to 'apply them'. I forget from whom I bought them (resin). I will try to post a photo. Any info would be helpful. Thank you.
  15. I've seen Spaz Stix on Amazon, I believe. What is the best way to purchase it? I'm interested in the chrome-style. Thanks
  16. The drawings are an accomplishment in themselves! What do modelers say? "Where there is a will there is a way".
  17. Is there any difference between the Miami Vice Testarossa and the Monogram version? I am also confused about the real 1:1 Ferraris: there is the Testarossa and the TR512. Can anyone fill me in on the differences? Thanks
  18. I read in one of the model car magazines about a product called "Spaz Stix". Has anyone ever heard of it or used it? It is an application to styrene that gives a chrome finish and is supposed to be easier than Alclad.
