  1. Brock.... I would recommend a Badger Model #200. It is a single action air brush. Very simple to use. I have had mine for over 20 years. I also have a dual action Iwata Neo Gen that I picked up from Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon for a dual action gravity feed. I still prefer my Badger because Its what I am most comfortable with.
  2. Anne... I would Recommend for glues.... Weld-on #3 for bare plastic (it is similar to Tenax and pro ambroid) It used to be bottled for the hobby industry and in hobby shops but seems they went away long ago. I personally buy mine from different plastics shops in either pints or quart sizes and you save money buying it in a bulk size like that versus a 4oz bottle. I would also recommend Zap a Gap CA glue. and you may want some Kicker for it but you don't need it. For gluing things like clear head lights, tail lights and windshields in I use Microscale's Micro Kristal Klear. It is a white glue somewhat like elmers but It dries crystal clear. 5 min expoy is also good to have for gluing different pieces together too. For body fillers I highly recommend the 2 part fillers like Bondo or Evercoat. you can purchase bondo in a tube with hardner from local automotive stores. The evercoat brand is found in automotive auto body supply shops. I personally don't really care for any of the hobby putty's but I have seen people here use it and never have trouble with it. some of them shrink over time. And I personally use all PPG and House Of Kolor base coat/clear coat paints on my builds for the bodies. You may need to try a few of the putty's to see which you like working with best.

  16. Joe... I am so sorry to hear about your hand. I will be praying for a speedy recovery and that the surgeries go well. That is a bummer that you had to sell this beautiful build but I understand the situation. I am sure gonna miss seeing updates on this build. I sure hope to see you do another 1/16th pro mod after your hand heals. You are a talented builder.

  23. I get my Plastikote Spot and Fill primer from from Carquest here in Arizona. They seem to be the only ones that carry it here. It's my choice of primer for my builds and have been using it for years.

  25. Hey Anne.... I had created some reference charts with sizes for tubing which can be for brass or plastic to get what would be the equivalent sizes to be in scale. Take a look here and hopefully it helps... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=70954
