    Sweet tip! I'll probably get one of these racks when i go get a cheap candle warmer plate so i can keep decal water nice and warm.
  2. Dpate
    scalehobbyist is the cheapest place to buy it.
  3. Dpate
    I have some of those, but i use this for panel lines.

    I just ordered from them yesterday lol. To OP burbank house of hobbies, megahobby, plaza japan(if you can stomach the shipping), hobbylinc, model round up, spruebrothers, scalehobbyist

    I think i asked a question similar to OP's a long time ago. If i remember right someone had said one has more of a blueish hue compared to the other, but it was polished aluminum and and the regular or something long the lines. Only way to know for sure is just do both on a gloss base and do the same on regular base. I do know if you over do chrome it'll turn into aluminum.

    lol No. I got them from eBay and the blades from Amazon. Yeah Coca Cola is on EVERYTHING for Christ sake. I’m trying to find Pepsi decals for tractor trailers, but haven’t had any luck yet.

    Yeah i just got to get a pair of cutters so i can cut half the end off to fit in my tamiya x-acto handle. The surgical blade handle isn't bad - i just prefer the feel of the tamiya handle. It just had that perfect balance to me.

    Got these since i work for pepsi, besides loving bikes too. The surgical blades #11 are a first for me and WOW what a difference over x-acto blades. Thinner blades and closer cleaner cut, and they'll be used exclusively for BMF maybe decals too? But that's what decal scissors are for.

    This is cool for halloween, but it's a bit expensive on ebay. But yeah the supernatural kit gets my vote as it's my favorite TV show ever lol.

    I never find good deals like that at hobby lobby. I usually find them at ollie's, but i haven't seen a kit at ollie's in almost a year. Didn't revell germany re release those fast & furious kits?
  12. Dpate
    Yeah i do large orders from plaza japan because shipping amount on one kit is silly. If I'm looking for just one kit than it'll be checking local shops or ebay.
  13. Dpate
    Yes i LOVE plaza japan. There prices have been cheap for a long long time. Shipping is high, but it's worth it in the end. So many kits I've bought for $15-$20 that you would pay $60 and up for in the states. There packaging is great, and you get cool little gifts from them too. My last order from them was about $300. If i would of found and bought every kit amongst other things in the states that i got from them it would of been way way more. Example tamiya tape from them less than $2, and in the states bout $6 lol

    You mean like these? Can't remember what size the small starts at on the meng but it ends at 1.4mm
  15. Dpate
    I got this kit haven't built it yet, but it's nice. I love aoshima kits engine or no engine.
  16. Dpate
    Were you just doing some testing or you're actually using one or all the bodies? That paint job turned out great.
  17. Dpate
    Yeah 1500 is what you want for nice and smooth(going over it with 3000 wet sponge doesn't hurt either). But 500 is best for filling and etc not for putting a color coat on. 500 can be used for like heavy body work, and than you work your way up too 1500. Surfacer 1500 black and ak titan hobby matt black primer are the two best black primers I've seen and used. So good I'll even use it on parts are semi gloss black and just use something like tamiya's semi gloss clear right over the primer lol.
  18. Dpate
    Man i forgot about those. There pretty good not the best but pretty darn good. Can be little pricey if you buy them as singles. Think hobby lobby sells the 4 or 5 pack least my hobby lobby does.
  19. Dpate
    Those are knock offs. Terrible compared to the legit micro mesh. But there not meant for tight spots IMO that's what there sponge set is for or the cloths you can get from micro mesh. You can even make your own with 3M self adhesive pads like the little square ones. Make a square piece of sand paper the same size and stick on the 3M pad and BOOM instant flexible sanding pad. Think there called mounting pads and there square or you could get the roll kind and just make as many as you need.
  20. Dpate
    Micro-mesh, Tamiya, infini, and other sells sponge sanding pads. Example of infini. There sandpaper is top notch along with there sanding sticks, sponge sticks, etc
  21. Dpate
    What airbrush are you using? How far are you spraying? Stynylrez can be sanded which is does sand nicely. I haven't used it in a long time, because it dries way to fast and tip dry city and annoying to clean up.
  22. Dpate
    I own the cheaper one for around $35. The other version is like $60.
  23. Dpate
    Ebay order
  24. Dpate

  25. Dpate
