  1. I also have this. It's been up there so long I forget all about it sometimes. http://s64.photobucket.com/user/EvilAppetite/library/Schematics
  2. This is on my ahem to do pile..what shade of blue did you use? Looks beautiful!
  3. Hey there fellow Sudburian. I have some tutorials from Brians Model Cars website. Got them before they shut down. If you or anyone else who see's this is interested, just click on the Google Drive link below https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B9RRWjLx6-D3RzdqMFJHYWY2czg?usp=sharing
  4. This! this is the very first kit I ever built. Locked up in Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for 3 months. It sure didnt turn out like the box cover! lol
  5. Man thats just so cool. I've seen on the History Channel they actually working on things like this. I had no idea someone had made a kit!! I want one!
  6. Picked these up at the local A buck or Two store. They were on clearance for $2 each so I grabbed them.
  7. Sorry for the late reply Bill. My CPU fan died,which in turn over heated my CPU and fried it. I just now was able to get a new one.Yes that's the one I bought. I figured that was the way you go about it. I have a water trap inline on my badger air hose. I should be able to remove the regulator and trap and attach a more precise regulator? I paint with Alclad from time to time at very low PSI. I cant seem to get this one to go below 10 without the needle dropping to zero so i think a more sensitive regulator may be in order
  8. For those who own one of these I'm new to this kind of compressor, I had my CH for years, with a gauge for the pressure in the tank and a gauge to see what I'm setting the pressure at to come out of the airbrush. With the lack of an regulator gauge, to shoot at say 30 psi, I pop the top of the regulator and turn until the gauge shows 30? I'm 99.999% sure that how to set the psi, I just want to make sure before I start painting next week. this thing sure is quiet compared to the assault on the ears when the CH kicked on! Mike
  9. Thats a wicked paint job. Well done. Going to have to try that technique sometime! \m/
  10. Very nice! Any plans on doing the other car that came with that decal sheet? Stoned? Stoner? something along those lines
  11. I usually go flat, if it's too flat i just rub it out a little with the tip of my finger
  12. My experience with Tamiya spray can? great. For some reason I can lay down a beautiful paint job with Tamiya...with testors I always have to strip and redo...which is why I now decant if i'm going to use testors for a body.
  13. 67..jeez...I was still baking in the oven. Unless it came out in September..like me
  14. Maybe older stock? AMT's quality control towards the end was atrocious. I cant remember what kit it was..but my LHS owner told me that an entirely different body was in the box
  15. I received an email from him regarding shipping to canada. he also told me he has 4k more kits to inventory so theres much more to come!
  16. Thanks guys. maybe I'll ask if theres a discount for semding customers his way lol
  17. Typical Yost effort. Well done again Donn! \m/
  18. I came across them on a Google search. Never heard of The Sales Shack before. Has anyone here? Have you bought from them? --- Mike
  19. Thanks guys. I tried the water/freezing..didnt work . I have tamiya liquid cement but i think i'll pick up some mineral spirtis and give that a shot. Thanks for the replies
  20. I found a bunch of kits and the second hand store today, afew of them are partially built. Motor/chassis/front end put together and glued. Is there any way to take these apart without breaking these pieces? --- Mike
  21. Ya, thats pretty much how I felt when I got my Pace Paint booth! As I've said in another post, last year i had to sell everything. 500+ models, tools...everything, thousands of dollars worth of stuff. Including my Pace. Well the guy I sold it all to..cheap, was so happy, when i go back to buy a kit here and there he GIVES them to me, plus 5 or 6 more. I told Him i was saving for a new booth, and what did he do? He GAVE it back to me...no charge. 24inch Super mini! Would have cost me over $500 to buy a new one! Anyway, nothing to do with my original post...but.. Me so happy!
