Yes is there such a thing that exist? I know some kits come with stands n such to keep them up right at a certain point, but i was wondering if there was something else that existed to hold a bike up while working on it?

It'll be awhile before i get back to the hobby room, but this was on the info page of the kit. I'm not sure if it's just lowered option or they give both. • Choice of factory-stock or custom wheels and tires.• Highly detailed 5.3-liter Vortec V-8 engine and rear-drive chassis with custom dropped suspension.

Megahobby order.

Scalecoat is another option.

Yeah i was gonna mention zero paints, but someone beat me to it. That's your best option, but it is gonna be a bit pricey ordering from hiroboy.com that's where i get all my zero paints from. They do require a clear coat though preferably 2K, but any clear would do.

I'm having a friend keep an eye out at ollies for me since its 30 mins from me. I really want 2 dodge rams, 1 corvette, and 1 PT-17

That's an awesome man cave. A hobby room of this caliber needs more tamiya kits though than 1

I know on scalemates the monogram dodge just has 2022 change??? So who knows. There already on ebay, and 1 has no shrink wrap and with the ollie sign still on, and 2 sold for $29. So i doubt it's gonna be too hard for anyone to sell them, and there's another one on there still wrapped with a white paper covering the ollie label going for $40.

My friend checked ollies today for these and didn't see any yet. I hope mine gets all them, but at least the dodge ram.

Nice models, but i love those cabinets.

Did you try wet sanding the outline with 3000 grit pad? 3M 3000 grit trizact is nice to use and try.

Just looks like another generic chrome pin. You're better off getting one of the gundom chrome plate pins or molotow from hobby lobby.

I've never used future, but long as it's cured and tape is de tacked it shouldn't remove the future. You could always do a test on a spoon or test piece. Coat or two of future let it cure, and than tape test. If that passes than test TS-13 on it, and see if that passes. Lot of variables to go on even if someone may say it's okay etc. Something like this is where i would do testing and have patience instead of depending on someone's definite answer of yes or no. You could always use micro set to remove the decals, but you'd have to take your time with that without messing them up since you already have SOL on it.

Yeah there expensive in the states for some weird reason. There cheap on plazajapan and that's where i get a lot of my tools from when i do a big order. Those HiQparts scribers are $16 on there, and I'm gonna get there smaller size ones as well. It's not even just there tools too it's there tape and cotton swabs etc just very expensive in the states. $2 pack of tape is bout $6 in the state, $2 pack of swabs bout $5-$6, and list goes on and on. I only paid bout $20 for mine with the holder which would of cost me bout $40 in the states. I just LOVE japan made products great quality stuff.

wow those distributors look really nice. Gonna check them out.

You bought the wrong tamiya tool, but there are tons of different scribing tools on the market. The one i use is by tamiya, but you'll pay about $25-$30 for it in the states. The one is the pic is a 0.2mm engraving tool for scribing. HiQparts has a few from 0.04mm and up as well.

I know last time i used stynylrez it liked to go on wet and self level like tamiya's primer. I've tried a lot of primers, and always go back to Mr. Surfacer as my main primer. Thinned with Mr. leveling thinner or rapid thinner < if you want a faster drying flat finish 1:1 or 2:1< 2 parts thinner 1 part paint. I always eye ball my mixes though, basically you know it's mixed right when you take your pipette to mix with up the side of the mixing cup, and you see it run down not too fast, and not too opaque can kind of see through it little bit. That's more on the 2:1 ratio side of things the way I'm explaining it, and through a Iwata esclipse .5 20 PSI light coats with a final medium wet coat, and self levels to a beautiful satin finish. There 1500 black is the best black primer I've seen, and it can actually save you from using separate black paint it's that good on its own. Ammo by mig titans hobby matt primer is fantastic too, but it can craze if you aren't careful unless you decant it. But if i had to choose 1 primer and 2 thinners only to use for the rest of my life that would be Mr. Surfacer, Mr. leveling thinner, and Rapid thinner because it has it uses. Here is a pic of all there primers, but it's missing there PINK though.

Surfacer will work best with mr leveling thinner. Thinned and sprayed right it lays down silky smooth with no sanding needed.

I think Tamiya LP-3 would of been a better choice. But if there selling like that I got ton of model master paint colors brand new except black. Also a can of there aluminum plate buffing metalizer 3 oz can.

I avoid anything MPC and recently Atlantis.

We all know pimp my ride was/is the best car show LOL. Who wants a fish tank in the back?

Yeah the bottom should be on top. Looks like the machine or whatever they use not in sync or something.

Yeah just look at Can-Con pic. Crazing in the middle and orange peel at the bottom. I can't be of much help on there clears, because i use 2K clearcoat.

Well that explains it

These came in today. Man James from scalefinishes is one awesome guy here's why? I ordered 2 Toyota Cavalry blue by mistake, and meant to get the Vintage violet pearl. There was a $3 price difference, but i told him just keep the difference for good service (Past experience) - instead of him keeping that $3 he gave me the BL-1 at a discount for $2 which goes for $8 on his site, and replaced the 2nd bottle of Cavalry blue with the violet pearl like i asked. Also got a 15% discount code off next order, and now if that isn't great service i don't know what is. The Dodge Smoke show is for the charger R/T which after looking through the kit the quality and detail is really good, but there still room for improvement like how the gate attachments are one of the windshield wipers has 5 gate attachments on it which is non sense lol. There are other gate attachments on the sprue that could be better, and the tires are lacking even though the tread pattern is nice they aren't branded like they are on the box. The kit is very nice though and loaded with parts for detail and 2 sets of rims and it gets a A- from me. I recommend this kit to anyone that want's a sweet 21 dodge charger R/T on display fan or not.
