  1. Thanks David. I guess I can think of it as either good news or bad news. From my wallet's perspective, bad news!🤣
  2. The NNL East is just over a week away. Does Hobby Lobby run its 40% off every 4th week? if so, will this discount correspond with the weekend of April 21st, 22nd? Not that there might be some kits for sale at the NNL! LOL
  3. Bill, you seem to be very savvy when it comes to balancing time invested vs. outcome.
  4. Bill, for the '60 Pontiac Bonnevile, how are the body proportions? I'm curious because I've heard that Trumpeter is not always stellar in the engine bay department.
  5. To add to what Gerry said, you have to scroll down to the bottom of the home page, There you will see USEFUL LINKS, and directly under that Contact Us.
  6. It looks too good to actually still be in service for Waste Management ! Great job on the weathering.
  7. I confess that I know nothing about Star Wars ships, but the weathering on this looks convincing.
  8. To post that you own / bought something that has never existed is not cool. Something that is incorrectly packaged has no bearing on the design / structure of the product.
  9. Why do you do post inaccurate, untrue information like this? The NEO has never had a floating design nozzle. It was designed by Iwata as an entry level airbrush, to fill in as a lower product offering.
  10. Some of your airbrush related content puzzles me. I have a made for Iwata NEO, amongst others. I have attached a pic of the brush and a pic of the nozzle. It does not have, and never has had a floating nozzle. One of the complaints about the NEO has always been the fragile nature of the NEO nozzle. Many people have experienced destroying the nozzle by over tightening it. The only brushes in the Iwata line that have floating, self-centering nozzles are the Eclipse line.
  11. That paint job thus far is just incredible! I sure do hope that you can get that paint.
  12. Hi Ismael, I'm definitely not an engineer, and I also love to take things apart... especially airbrushes. Taking them apart and putting them back together is the first order of business after purchasing a new one. Doing this repeatedly gives me a better understanding of the airbrush's workings and the confidence to do a complete tear down for deep cleaning (even the needle packing or air valve!).
  13. I read your original post. With no parts available, how did you resurrect it? Was it a matter of disassembling and deep cleaning? The airbrush that got me started was a combination airbrush and Ni-Cad battery powered compressor from Tamiya called Spray Work.
  14. I did a search online, and the House of Kolor website has it listed as discontinued. I will still check when I get to the NNL, as you never know what old stock might be on hand. I did some more online searching, and found that Gravity Colors (Spain) has a color shift paint, cyan to purple. https://gravity-colors.com/118-10-gc-2129-chameleon-cyan-to-purple/
  15. I just made a copy of your posted pic, to make sure that I'm buying the correct paint.
  16. Here is the website address to use: https://gravity-colors.com/
  17. Two weeks yesterday. There is usually a vendor who sells HOK paints.
  18. Tom, if you can wait, I will see if I can buy a bottle of this at NNL East, and then forward to you.
  19. Gerry, Dancing Bear is a name new to me. I'll have to check out there offerings. I just added the link https://www.dancingbearscaledcomponents.com/
  20. I responded to another Kijiji ad! LOL. It was entitled “Airbrush Complete and Parts”. There was only a single, somewhat out of focus photo. It showed a plastic basket with some airbrush items in it: an Iwata-Medea name on a replacement parts package as well as the name Thayer and Chandler. These caught my attention enough to respond to this four-day old ad. My attached pics show what was actually included. I think that I did well with this purchase! All I know about the last pic is that these are Rapidograph components.
