Yeah i just could not get certain area's to cover properly. Everything looks good until you turn it over and start tapping and BOOM missed area or too thin in certain areas. So instead of brown embossing powder it got flat brown tamiya lol. Prob should of mixed some flat white to lighten it up cause its as brown as brown gets. But i think it contrasts pretty good with the med tan interior.

I don't have any boat kits, but i do have train kits and other machinery type kits. Vehicle kits start to get stale after awhile, unless you're someone that eats, sleep, breath cars everyday.

Yeah that's what i meant was different lol. Actually witness some insanity doing some flocking with some embossing powder, but it just wasn't doing it. After 10 tries of washing, cleaning, laying down clear elmers glue, embossing powder it wouldn't cover properly so i gave up.

Not finished but testing out new light box.

Insanity would be doing the same thing over and over again expecting the same result ~ Albert Einstein

Now i got to buy more tamiya primer so i can do some testing - because this just seems weird to me. Unless tamiya is changing up the formula and we just haven't got a can of it yet.

Might be a poor mans version, but the creo's are amazing brushes. I own a PS270 just for Metallics like chrome and other metals.

I've actually used my tamiya white primer I've had for awhile now on a current build I'm working on. I'm using almost all MCW paint on it as well and no issues at all. So is scalefinises hotter than MCW?

Haven't used Tamiya primer with basecoats, but have used Mr surfacer and others with no issues. So I'm wondering what the compatibility issue is all of a sudden? He's also offering a free bottle of his primer with orders until July 31st because he no longer recommends his paint with ANY other primer. Thoughts & Opinions?

At 1:51 that's some killer fore shadowing lol. If you slow the vid down to 0.5 and at 5:29 mark i don't know how he didn't break his chest.

They'll send it out free since it's there fault. You'll get the part within a week or two.

You can find it at walmart cheap that's where i found the scratch x 2.0. If walmart doesn't have it autozone or advanced will but it'll cost little more. Far as wax goes i use there cheap stuff in the red bottle(cleaner wax) think it was like $5 when i got it. You basically put it on even and smooth and let it sit for a few mins and than wipe it off, and than do one final wipe. Takes less than 10 mins easiest step in the sanding, compounding, and, polishing routine.

I have the 2.0 but never used the original. I'm sure it's the better version of the original, but with there ultimate compound i stopped using it. I also use chemicals guys C4 clear cut and P4 polish.

Yeah just got through watching it thank you. I'm most def getting this kit gotta love moebius.

$5 & $10

hmm I've seen them on a 70's bronco before.

Been waiting for someone to get this. Let us know how it is? I've been eye balling it for AWHILE now. I got mengs new BMW kit for $65 instead of the OG price so i couldn't get this kit yet. I LOVE moebius kits. I think i have 1 or 2 tamiya kits that had the sprue gate at the lip of the rim, but every other tamiya, aoshima, hasagawa, etc that i have doesn't and it will spoil you lol. Revells new tooled porche has the sprue gate attached to the bottom of the rim and i was blown away when i opened the box and seen it. It's easy to mess up a rim if you aren't careful especially if the gate is thick it's like molded into the rim itself and just messes the whole rim up.

What ISN'T illegal in cali lol.

Yes micro mark starting at 6000 and up is different. Below though its like starting with 1500 if you start at 3200. I'd be very hard pressed to see a difference in two exact same bodies, but one body sanded to 12000G, and the other just sanding with 600-800G. Than both primer coats nice and smooth and than color and 2K coat. You could take a body and sand it with 600 & 800 grit and than primer and sand primer with 3KG and 5kG if needed, and than paint and 2k clear. I doubt there would be any difference at all to warrant the effort. I guess with enamels it's different cause it already has it's nice gloss finish to it. You're sanding and polishing that instead of laying down a clear coat. P.S there is no 80K grit. I was just being a smarta$$ lol

They actually sell photo etch parts that have the weld look

You can get a finish like he does if you sand the body up to 80K grit, and than sand and compound and polish if needed.

I wish companies would start putting the gate attachments on the bottom of the rim edge instead of the actual lip of the rim. One of the biggest pet peeves i have in this hobby when it comes to kits.

Na some do have free shipping. I've seen some with $3 shipping lol. I remember ordering the Meng BMW bike off ebay from china and it took probably bout 3 or so weeks to come in.

Amazing work done. Love the chevelle SS my fav car. The bel air is beautiful too. Makes me wanna do a bel air all black with black chrome oooowe.

This! I've bought $20 kits that they charge like $70 for in the states. Reason i don't do to many local shops. Rip offs like micro mark the rip off specialists.
