Dpate

I think my two hobby lobbys that are a good hour away are suppose to be getting most of the new kits. I wouldn't mind having that Z28 and 70 plymouth from revell, but with 40% off. I know hobby lobby need to up there tool and paint selection though it's trash.

What was the point of the tape? To try and get no residue of the BMF on the body? That's very easy to clean off if you were to get residue on the body, and also why not tamiya tape? Doubt that would of happened with tamiya tape.

Yes that's what I'm leaning on more too is i didn't mix it good enough. I just mixed it with good ole shaking instead of using my badger mixer or four E's mixer, but 2nd time i mixed it i used the four E's mixer along with straining it and the cotton candy effect was gone at least on the test spoons. But I' am gonna test more and keep the pose updated. Thank you for your help! Gonna do more testing before thinning. I think mixing it better the 2nd time let the thinner and pigment combine better. If i do have to thin what thinner do you recommend for MCW paint?

I spray it the same way i do all there other interior colors bout 2 inches away around 18-20 PSI, and there already pre-thinned doubt he sent a bottle with not enough thinner lol. But after mixing it even better and straining it the effect stopped same pressure same distance etc. It's not cobweb in the paint, but it's actually on the surface like the cotton candy pic. But just think of like how dust webs can get in a corner of a wall and you touch it. That's this effect going on not actual spider webbing in the paint. Thank you for the suggestions though.

Okay I'm going to try and explain this the best i can, because I' am not sure as to why this happened and with this specific color as it hasn't happened with any of there other colors or any other type of paint or brand. So I'm getting ready to use the light grey interior color on the interior tub (which was primed) bottle was mixed good and used pipette to put good bit into the color cup. Using a Iwata eclipse brush and was deep cleaned day before the use of paint. Anyways i start spraying the inside of the interior tub mainly the door card sides and rear seat, and as I'm painting i start seeing thin web like material little on the outside of the tub just floating. So i just blow it away thinking hmm maybe long piece of lent or something - so i get back to painting and than i continue to see it coming out from the inside of the tub. So I'm like what in the F is going on lol, and i start looking at the door cards and rear seat and it looks like the inside of a cotton candy bowl(Pic below). I'm like so that's where it's coming from the air from the brush is blowing some of it out, and it was even on the end of my brush. So it looked horrible and using a brush would remove some of it but ended up leading to a strip. So i test on some spoons and did 3 spoons all 3 ended up with the stringy web like material but small, and now I'm like sigh okay lets clean out the air brush again cause maybe the shop towel lint maybe stuck some where and contaminating the paint. Clean out airbrush 100% and couldn't find any lent etc. Fast forward I'm 6 test spoons down with this wild phenomenon happening -So i tried one last thing, and that was to really make sure the paint was mixed, and strain the paint. So i mix the paint this time the best it'll ever get mixed and than used my AK colorcup paint strainer, and then got out 3 more white spoons. Sprayed all 3 spoons 100% perfect not a single cotton candy web like stuff or anything. So now i ask the question - how & why did this happen? This light grey cotton candy phenomenon lol. Has this happened to anyone else with any type of paint? How could straining the paint maybe of fixed the issue? I'm lost, confused, and puzzled ??????????

I have some of this but stopped using it because it would come out and not stop coming out lol not sure what happened.

Gotta order it

I use this along with other glue products.

Mod podge, Micro Kristal Klear Adheisive, Bobs gold+, canopy glue, Vms transpa fix 6K, and Ak ultra glue. Lot of great options to choose from.

Yeah i forgot to mention that. That's a must for small parts lol.

What are you cutting the photoetch on? Fresh blade should easily pop a photoetch part loose doesn't take that much force. I use a small glass cutting mat that i got from hobby lobby to cut photoetch parts off, and than photoetch scissors to trim the rest, and than tamiya photoetch file if needed. Depending on the photoetch I'll use just the scissors to cut the part off cause they fit properly. Don't cut decals or try and cut photoetch parts off on a self healing mat or any mat. The cut on the decals wont be as smooth, and you could damage the photoetch parts as well.

I got that kit it's nice. When i went to HL they had that kit for $37.99 i laughed because i would never pay that for that kit even with a sale.

I use 2mm tamiya scriber for lines and tamiya's 20 degree needle scriber for curves such as gas lids etc. I had a 1mm tamiya scriber but the tip broke.....don't ask lol.

Yeah it requires assembly, but I think they have a die cast version of it not made by moebius though. And yeah the one you got someone did a fantastic job on it looks really good. My favorite Batmobile though is the 1989 version even though the original is good looking machine too.

I have that kit. It’s made by polar lights. Very nice detailed kit least the one I got is. The bat mobile from the new movies is pretty nice too made by mobius.

I just left hobby lobby today. They were on sale as well, but every kit they had i already got lol. They had one clearance kit and few empty holes I'm assuming was clearance kits. The kit that was on clearance was some slammer kit from revell i think it was for $5. Should of bought it to resell on ebay, but i did buy a glass cutting matt though.

Yeah he's stated plenty of times he doesn't try to build perfectly or anything considering all the kits and reviews he does. I really just watch to see what kit content looks like, and the ones he reviews are always really good. Of course I'll buy the same kit and have more flash than you can flick a finger at lol. His methods might not be the best, but he still puts out good looking models even better than half the mess i see posted on hobbylinc lol.

I've used finish 1. gravity colors(spain), and no name brand from spray gunners. Those 3 2K clears I've never had an issue with.

So I went to the hobby room today and there was a package left on my chair. No idea what is was, and the writing on the back made me chuckle. So I opened it and I was like woah how did they know? I never asked for a 2nd replacement. But I test fitted the new hood and it’s perfect no warpage. So are they lurking on the forums? Or they knew the other hood they sent was bad, and recent a new one? So now I have 2 warped hoods and a perfect hood lol.

See how your hood is warped? That’s how mine was that came with the kit, and the replacement they sent was the same way but on the opposite side lol.

Yeah he's back up and running. Apparently a website outage.

Some of these are known I'm sure, but there are some good tips and tricks in this video. This guy also does great work on models. 19 Tips and Tricks for Scale Modelers

Beautiful work Roger. Will this work with 2K clear as well or basically works with everything?

Haven't been able to access the site in 2 days now. 404 error. Has he changed sites or what?

Yeah ollie's here 0 kits all year. Same as you said nothing but toys and no kits. I go like every 2 weeks to see if they got anything in, and they do but it's not car kits. Some scooby doo airplane revell kit, and lame start wars revell kit.
