  1. I have a Badger 350 that I rarely use anymore, a Badger 155 that is still my fave when I'm painting car bodies, and a Renegade (Badger) Velocity for fine detail work. I recently picked up a Paasche Talon TG3F set on sale. It has three different needle and tip assemblies and is fast becoming my favorite of them all. My compressor is a Bear Air basic with a really good regulator/moisture trap. I like http://www.chicagoairbrushsupply.com/airbrushes1.html This is where I purchased the TG3F, it's $109. G
  2. The museum is open and accessible. I'd suggest walking to the property, as construction has everything in turmoil. G
  3. The Quad is currently part of a massive renovation project. I'm not sure the cars are still there. I'll check today and let you know. G
  4. Not special enough? Didn't you ride the short bus to the swap meet? Oh well MrsG likes you. G
  5. Very nice! 1/24th scale scares me whe it comes to airplanes. So much detail can be added it is mind boggling. You did this kit justice for sure. G
  6. Very, very nice. G
  7. Welcome Clint! My painting process for automobiles is identical to Niko's. I use Plastikote T 235 Sandable Gray primer, is my go to primer. I buy it at Car Quest shops here in Nevada. It's what I use on armor models as well. It covers PE as good as any other paint I have tried. A few things that matter when using enamel and laquer on cars. HUMIDITY. I cannot stress this enough. I lived in St Louis my entire life until I retired and moved to the desert. Air pressure. I dial up the AP when painting a car body. You are looking for a nice wide spray pattern. No more tight squiggly camo lines or panel fading. One color multiple coats. I use Tamiya almost exclusively for armor but I just started using some Lifecolor sets. Vallejo is my choice for brush painting details and figures. I will use any or all of these in a car build as well. G
  8. Snide comments are just petty.................. Love the display! G
  9. Now that is sexy. Good job. G
  10. Very nice! There are a lot of little details that just add that special touch. G
  11. NICE! G
  12. Ok I'm home and that my friend is a wonderful Focke Wulf! G
  13. Being employed by a state law enforcement agency which handles sensitive and or covert investigations, means we have firewalls for firewalls and nanny programs from Hades. It backfires every now and then though. None of us could even read the online local newspapers or trade papers last year. The bosses believe we are akin to the Men in Black for goodness sakes. Well, we are close to Area 51................................. G
  14. Yessir that Malibu is super sweet. G
  15. Darn nanny programs here in the office won't let me see this. G
