Give em a sniff. You can smell enamel.

The Tamiya clear red works great for me.

Yes that is my truck....NO I won't help you move.

Hmmm.....You may have a discovered a cool way to rust vehicles.

Went there the other day and saw all their plastic models were on sale for 20% off, so you can't use a 40% off coupon for a sale item. Not to mention all their high dollar items like airbrushes are "special priced" (which is still higher than most places), so you can't use a 40% off coupon for a "special priced" item.

Lots of pe bending tools out there, the aircraft guys use a lot of pe on their kits. Here's a link: https://www.amazon.com/photo-etch-bending-tool/s?page=1&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Aphoto etch bending tool

Like I said, I've had adhesion problems with the ultra in the past but the sheet I just bought sticks very well, and I had no problems cutting it or having it hide details. Maybe they got the word and improved the produce. Oh and I use a scalpel instead of a xacto knife for cutting it. Much sharper than a xacto , but gets dull quickly.

I just bought a sheet of the ultra bright chrome BMF and it works great. I've used some in the past that didn't stick very well but this new stuff sticks very well, in fact you have to work at it to get it off.

97 cents???? Do you think I'm rich?

I've built a couple of Lindbergs and I agree about the quality. I don't have a big issue with the fit as long as it is correctable without completely sawing the body apart and redesigning it.

It's a Linberg Chrysler Atlantic snap kit. The car is really beautiful, just wondering how the kit is.

I don't like the huge wheels on any car. I saw a 4x4 Dodge pick up the other day with 22s and the skinny tiers and it looked ridiculous.

I clear coat for another reason. For example a flame job on a real hot rod was painted on but with decals the thickness and edge will show and look like caca. Clear coat blends the decal in and makes it look more like paint.

HONEY...could you come in here and help me with ………….. Usually when I'm doing something I can't put down at that second.

Or...……..if price is no object you might like Pocher kits. pocher.com/uk-en

Well, it's not sexy but I have a Paasche H that does everything I need it to do. I've also got a Paasche Talon TG but don't really use it much, only for very fine lines.

I tell my wife that it's dust from the dogs.

The Stynylrez is great stuff. You won't believe how well it levels out when dry.

Hope the kit was better than the TV show. It reallllly stunk.

They are auctioning off the collection in lots. Supposed to be a lot more to come. When I went to the site everything was already sold, maybe I'll get lucky later.

I received this the other day from IPMS. How the hell does anyone accumulate 13,000 models? To all We received an email regarding an estate sale with over 13,000 models. This has been checked and is legit. Please forward the link below to your chapters. Modelers love a good deal and hopefully there are plenty here.

I understand where you all are coming from complaining about the prices, but consider the armor or aircraft builder. You can't get a decent kit for under 50 bucks, and for the really great kits, ………. a bunch more.

OK...where did you get the compass cutting tool? I reallllly need one.

Actually in either 25th or 24th scale you couldn't see the grain in a padded dash without a magnifying glass. If you could....it would be wildly out of scale. Try using a heavy coat of semi gloss paint.

Oh God...… My wife saw a recipe on TV for fried Spam with carrots, peas and rice with sweet and sour sauce. It was absolutely, mind blowing horrible. It would have been ok with almost anything but Spam. The smell was revolting. Excuse me, I have to go make a sandwich now.
