  1. You did just a better version of it as I recall a pic of it in my head lol.
  2. Depends on the kit if it’s even gonna fit where it’s suppose to fit anyways. If it can fit like it’s suppose to I’ll try my best with proper tweezers to get it in or if it can’t be seen from top or bottom eh screw it.
  3. Yeah hobbylinc is legit. It does take a few days for them to start pulling stuff from the warehouse. I have an order coming in tomorrow from them as well. Scalehobbyist, Sprubrothers, megahobby, modelroundup, Burbank house of hobbies, hiroboy, plazajapan few places I shop from other than hobbylinc.
  4. So went back out of town too Ollie’s, and checked hobby lobby. Got another truck and picked up the coke truck. Found the rover hidden in a buggy at hobby lobby. Also went to hobby town, and they had the rat fink transtar. He wanted $78 for it, and I’m like yeah this dude is nuts. Can buy it $50 from Amazon all day, and $40 from hobbylinc.
  5. Yeah don’t really think he came up with the hinge idea on his own. Sure makes himself seems like he did with that ego.
  6. Quit buying it long time, but I always got it at Walmart
  7. Went to Ollie’s out of town, and found all this. They had every kit except the mail truck, but already got it. $5 for the puzzles that comes with the poster too.
  8. So they cut it down to 8 foot section? Or it’s like Michaels one 4 foot section?
  9. That’s true. Store here in rockingham NC has MPC monopoly kits mixed in with the board games lol.
  10. Got a spare .2 needle my PS-270, and replacement needle packing (don’t ask lol). Also got some fire scale products 2 interior colors, 1 car color, 1K i wanted to try out, and black glass film.
  11. Mine still doesn’t have the transtar truck, but same everything else. Gotta go out of town Tuesday so I’ll check the Ollie’s there.
  12. Got the rims done, but just took pics of one showing how different lighting makes a difference.
  13. Yeah he’s a good modeler. I’ve watched his videos few times, and I have that kit myself.
  14. Looks good. Seems we’re working on the same car hehe
  15. Some random stuff from scalehobbyist.
  16. Electric cars. Ah what a scam.
  17. I’ve sprayed textured paint from MCW through a .5 no problems. You should be able to spray the dupli color thinned no problem with a .5.
  18. So it’s a tester body? I’m thinking it’s your actual work you’re building on.
  19. I haven’t, but I use badgers needle juice. I’ve had the same bottle sense I’ve been in the hobby, and it’s only like $5-$6 depending where you look.
  20. Man from what I seen in the video based off the hood, and some parts on the body you got more issues to worry about than a clear coat. Looks to me the enamel didn’t cure, and the clear with the thinner dissolved some sections. If you do not have a dehydrator? You’re gonna have to be patient, and let the testors enamel dry properly for a good while. Really depends on what you thinned the enamel with, and without an added hardener it’s gonna take a long time. If I were you I’d take the time to practice, read up, and be patient or you’re gonna have a miserable experience. You also don’t have to have everything the same brand. There’s nothing wrong with doing that, but mixing products work just fine long as you know what you’re doing. You could thin that testors enamel with Mr hobby leveling thinner, and it will work every time. That’s just an example of a different product used with a different product.
  21. lol the one I go to be popping man. Guess I get lucky, and go on the right day.
  22. Eh if they did go away(which never gonna happen) all id miss is the eye candy ?lol
  23. Yeah megahobby is a good place. I prefer scalehobbyist lot more as there cheaper on a lot of stuff.
  24. Yeah the shade is off some, but still looks great ??. Also yeah I totally understand not test fitting based off a particular company, but I even test fit every thing Tamiya even though they’re the goats.
  25. Went back to my local Ollie’s and they had some new stuff, but no transtars though.
