I've tried gator tail sausage in new orleans but it was so spicy that it could have been any meat at that point

wow nice job ! one question , is the aluminum base a must do for all colors with Donn's process ? that's the only thing I still have to get.

I married my first wife In large part because I thought she looked like barbie. unfortunately she had the same disposition and lack of heart. I might buy a model because I had the car ,,, but not the other way around

they don't farm out work overseas .. it's all in house as far as I know. that cuts out a ton of time

be careful .lol.. I totally scraped the last body I tried to boil and cool. it seems that there is a magical point where the body is soft enough to straiten and stay put , but go one second longer and it's a banana that you can't recover from

I think airbrushes are kinda like kitchen knives , you almost need 2 types to cover all the bases a general sprayer easy to clean for quick stuff and laying down solid color and clear coats and a more intricate higher quality one for the intricate details and graphics

it never gets a hard shell ,stays rubbery on top of plastic but maybe that would be ok on an interior

I don't get it either .. the paasche H is the easiest airbrush in the world to clean. if paint dries on the tip assembly even after a month of forgetting , just pop it out and drop it in some thinner .

I believe you have to be a Master Modeler in order to sell "pro built" on ebay

Nice vintage gear Dan , I bet that Guyatone amp would sound great with some new tubes in her.

so true , no matter how good the AB is you still have to drive it . there are guys that do amazing work with the chinese knock offs Iwata is good stuff .

I own 6 AB's now and have tried a good friends Iwatas for an extended time as well and can honestly say , the new Badger Krome is a STEAL for the price !.. it's the smoothest action ,accessory packed,(2 complete needle sets,tips,regulators + a quick disconnect adapter)) AB I have ever used .and they are guaranteed for life !.. just send it in for any reason and they will fix or replace it for the life of the AB. you might have to pay a few bucks for damaged parts at the most.(and the postage to the factory). and .. replacement needles are $12. Teflon seal replacement and re-tuning the AB is standard and always free of charge Iwata is great no doubt and have quite a following... but they can't touch Badger in warranty or parts cost, and Badgers customer service is second to none. not to take away from Iwata by any stretch , it's a great airbrush .and to some almost a status symbol (nothing wrong with that)...but it's worth mentioning... there are some kick butt alternatives as well http://www.ak-interactive-usa.com/product-airbrush.html

awesome stuff , I'm sure it's easy to go overboard , so I am thinking, moderation is the key

the poster is saying that he has a folder on his computer that he saves tips and tricks in so he doesn't have to search online so much

there are some good build topics going on but. there have been a lot of posts just showing a painted body lately .and I really don't think there is much to say about that. I know Doc crankys done a few lately to show the results of the yost method.. in that case It's understandable but I just don't get excited to see thread after thread started with a photo of a painted body .It seems to be a trend here.. heck I can do that in 30 minutes or a body(painted or not) precariously perched on top of some wheels. I can do that in 30 seconds. I want to see... and learn from.... some in depth model building. ! even if it's a lawn tractor

excellent advice ..don't scrimp on tape.. get out of home depot ! and buy some darn automotive grade masking tape. !

thanks I follow now , good tip !

not sure I follow ...you drilled out the dissy center inserted the wire bundle than sealed the bundle with clear lacquer on a toothpick ?

is this the sandpaper on the clear plastic ? I had some years ago,, seem to recall just wet sanding like normal paper but it didn't like to be folded

Doc... i wouldn't mind if you came to the shiny side for good...you had your fun rusting but this is your true calling !...lol you nailed that color ( has yost pm'd you for the exact recipe yet ?.heheh)

I'm a firm believer that,,if you want to get into airbrushing ....concentrate on getting the best compressor you can afford to fit your needs.<<<<FIRST .........than start looking at airbrushes. the op never mentioned what ..or.... if he even has a compressor ...if it's a tiny "hobby"one ... all the spraying enamel, yost style,,, advice goes out the window.

is that a giant partridge family cup hanging from the ceiling ? ...lol

oohhh .. shiney !!! I just got my bottles ,paints,clears and everything together , now just need a break in the weather to spray some enamel. hope it comes out that good !

use good low tack tape , don't stick it to your forehead, forearm ,shirt, jeans ... your asking for bleed under problems

I painted diamond dust a couple weeks ago , it was a fresh can , it went on smooth , no chunking issues. possibly a bad batch or bad nozzles, can you try another nozzle?
