start sealing your decals with decal solution such as micromark rather than krylon spray paint I've produced 100's of decals for customers and seal them with decal film prior to shipping , not one single complaint of a reaction so far. under about every clear coat you can imagine

get the best compressor you can afford , the ab to learn on can be cheap you will upgrade that before long , but I always recommend not to focus so much on the airbrush more on the compressor, it is often the larger investment and something you will want to be satisfied with down the road

one just before the regulator is needed .. it keeps the regulator clean and trouble free. any extra is only dealing with potential moisture in the actual AB line.. so a small one at the ab input is popular. but I always make sure to have one just before the regulator... and that's usually sufficient unless you have a ton of air-line after that

you can also try microscale decal film, it's great stuff even if you slather it on with a brush it is nearly undetectable once dry

you "shot it" instead of sprayed it

clean clear glass , I see many awesome builds hampered with marred glass

a classic !

the revell/model king Henry J,, but honestly I think after that first build I'm not so scared of it anymore

yes(createx) auto air ...vs createx craft paint.. very different composition. Their wicked colors line is also very good

wood glue(titebond ect..)... the wood will break before the joint will

amazing job !

I skip using the clear , steel, metal , brass, magnesium, aluminum ect.. is not coated with high gloss in the real world

I made one from a sewing machine ,I got it at a yard sale for $10 .... cheaper and much stronger than a dremel and has a variable speed foot pedal.

this will solve the problem

thank you Pat <saved to the personal archive>

cool , tho are the wheels just sitting under the body ?

"water-based" and acrylic (based) paints , not necessarily the same thing. I believe "regular Krylon" is an acrylic enamel ,

it sounds like some form of depression and/or she is not getting a good nights sleep, good news both are treatable (my wifes an RN so I hear about these symptoms)

very nice

for some reason those carbs don't seem to meld with that shiny block and intake

it depends on the kit , some are great some not so great... there is a thread on here somewhere listing the good from the bad

share ?
