Jesse in Laramie

You might notice from my nic I live in Wyoming. My lovely wife and I drove to western SC to celebrate Christmas with her family. I have not found a hobby shop of any quality in Wyo yet. So as long as we were travelling... I looked at the "Buy the magazine here" section of the site here. I found a shop in Easley SC, which was not really out of our way. It was (and still is) Hobby Connection in Easley SC. We stopped in... I bought 3 cans of Tamiya Spray paint, and best of all Issue 211 of Model Cars. I wanted to hold an issue in my hands before subscribing, so... Mission Accomplished!! I will subscribe upon my return... They had a decent selection of kits, not bad for Christmas eve, and plenty of paint and supplies... That is my report, and that leads to Merry Christmas!!!

Maybe everyone knows this, but I didn't until an artist friend hooked me up with this stuff nearly 20 years ago. I use a product called " The masters brush cleaner and preservative ", which can be found easily on amazon or art supply houses. I clean my brushes with the appropriate thinner, then dip them in water and clean them according to their io instructions. I cannot tell you how long they last, as I have not had to replace any. great product, not affiliated in any way

I am Jesse from Laramie. Formerly from DC, so glad to see MAMA is still functioning, was a member long ago. Been building for a very long time, cars mostly, and 1/48 prop powered aircraft. Have not had the space to build very much in about 10 years. Now I do, and am trying to un perish my skills. Getting there....Foiling things still makes me swear. Any way, glad to be here and part of the community!!
