What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)
Dpate replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks awesome man. Did the hood come warped a little though or something else going on? -
Promised myself I’d never buy another MPC kit…Still haven’t broke that promise lol.

I can't say for sure that the humidity caused that issue, but 85 is way to high. I'm not sure how you even sit in that to even paint lol. Certainly need to get your painting area a little more controlled, and get the humidity down though. 85% there's a ton of moisture in the air, and the best way to combat that is a dehumidifier. 30%-55% is ideal living conditions. What's your humidity when it's not raining?

I always pull, and there worth the money. You can get a 100 pack for like a $1 or $2 more than a 100 pack of regular blades. I prefer using them with regular xacto blade handle instead of the handle you get with a set. I just snap part of the bottom off with cutters, and place inside handle. Much much more comfortable than the skinny surgical blade handle.

Best matte coat? Alclad issue.
Dpate replied to Dpate's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Yeah the alclad is fragile too, but for some reason mine just stayed tacky in certain spots. -

Alclads gunmetal comes to mind
-
Aqueous is 100% non toxic, and the Acrysion this is what I found about it. This is an epoch-making paint that can be used for both brush painting and air brush painting. Drying speed is faster than with the existing water based hobby colors, so work efficiency is improved dramatically.

Tamiya paint cracking; cause?
Dpate replied to Roadrunner's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ah okay. Never used Dupli colors primers - even though lot of folks have had success with it using automotive paints n such. I strictly use Mr surfacer primer. If I wasnt packing for my move I would test myself as I have few cans of the testors extreme diamond dust. Something in the 3n1 testors didn’t agree with the dupli color or vice versa. -
Tamiya paint cracking; cause?
Dpate replied to Roadrunner's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
So what two primers did you use? Seems the one that did work is the primer you should use with this combo you’re doing. -
Currently moving myself still packing. I have a total of 11 XL boxes full of kits, and that’s not including the ones that are bigger than the box itself lol.

Dpate replied to Dpate's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I tested the spoon I shot with Alclads matte coat, and seems it likes to rub off to easily. Gonna give testors dull coat a try, but hopefully more products can be mentioned along with the Tamiya. Thank you.
