1972 Ford F100 replica build possible
Beans replied to gtx6970's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This would get you the short bed. 69-72 all have the same body just different grills. you would need a 72 grill. For the 4wd you would probably need to scavenge from a 4wd kit. -
Some of My Unbuilt Stash
Beans replied to Tom99's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Those are all really bad kits...the plastics are filled with toxins and luckily I know how to dispose of them properly. You are going to have to send them all to me....😂 -
Depron foam availability in small quantities
Beans replied to sidcharles's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Having never used it for anything myself, I'm curious what you are intending to build with it?? Might help get you a source if we know what you need it for. -
Can’t think why…

Give it a minute...it'll restore itself. -
1/25 AMT 1959 Buick "Boondock Bomber"
Beans replied to Drago's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
That's what an annual is!! Now I know. I always thought it was some model or other that was release for one year only or something like that but never knew exactly. -
That Dart is pretty cool. More of the fast attach type of response. I wouldn't want to be in the middle of a tornado in that one....but then again I wouldn't want to be in a tornado at all.

There are quite a few with that type of packaging. Some are just repackaged. But Revell has done quite a few Ferraris. https://www.scalemates.com/search.php?q=ferrari*&fkSECTION[]=Kits&fkTYPENAME[]="Full kits"&fkCOMPNAME[]="Revell"

Very Cheap Airbrushes. A Recipe For Frustration?
Beans replied to Bugatti Fan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I got mine when I was doing a lot more armor modeling and thought the multiple tips would be great for camo on vehicles. I think I only used two ever and because I really had no clue what I was doing, had a junk compressor and had no patience, it never really worked out. I'm pretty sure that was their marketing idea...the camo thing not the no clue thing. -
Very Cheap Airbrushes. A Recipe For Frustration?
Beans replied to Bugatti Fan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I do most of my painting in the garage so the compressor size doesn't matter too much. I ended up with a larger tanked compressor that I use for all kinds of things and have to dial down for air brushing. It is kind of old, kind of noisy and they don't make it any more but it is now part of the working formula of getting decent results. -
Very Cheap Airbrushes. A Recipe For Frustration?
Beans replied to Bugatti Fan's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
This was my first airbrush....I still have it....I still haven't figured it out. From there I moved to Badger and Paashce and finally a Grex. I still have and use all three because I am weird and each one is for a specific paint. What I ended up learning is that it wasn't the cheap airbrush that was causing me to have lousy results. It was the cheap compressor and my lack of understanding and patience. It took a little while for me to get good results but once I did, I could use almost any of my airbrushes with success (except that aztec one). -
Issue may not be the airbrush. May be compressor. Could be inconsistent pressure, or pulsing, or moisture in the line, too much pressure, too little pressure. Whole bunch of variables and the only real way to figure out what will work best is to experiment with the specific paint you plan on using.

How do you decide what type of paint to use?
Beans replied to Bill Anderson's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Not an expert but I don't think I have waited as long as 10 minutes to recoat with createx. Paint it, spray it with air (or light once over with a hair dryer if it isn't warm), paint it again. Probably doing it "wrong" but it's worked for me so far. -
Facebook misrepresentation

I hate when they have theme days!!! I will purposely post things that don't go along with the theme. -
I'm not quite that far out. I'm in the Southaven/Hernando part. I was accounting for traffic with the 20 minute estimate😄 With no traffic and straight up 51 its more like 5. With the current weather it's more like a half hour.

I'm about 20 minutes south of the border in Mississippi. Just south of Memphis.

I've only been once in the last 5 years. Very inviting. Everybody was really nice. It just always seems to be on a weekend I am out of town.

Welcome to the site and to Memphis. There is a club that meets about once a month. I always mean to make it to their meetings but haven't yet. I'm about 45 minutes south of Memphis. Check out the show announcement page. It's call the River City Rumble or some such. Here is the club facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/groups/764576840317063/
