Fujimi enters into the 1/24th scale semi scene
martinfan5 replied to Austin T's topic in Truck Kit News & Reviews
For those that interested , here is a look at the kit, there are 25 photos, so I am not going to post them, click on the link to the album and take a look http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/irvan2836/library/Kit%20reviews/Mitsubishi%20Fuso%20Car%20Hauler -
My understanding this is an old tooling from the 80's, I believe it was motorized, Fujimi went back and removed all the motorized parts, and made a normal kit, again, that is my understanding, I could be wrong, James(Nightowl) knows more about the kit. Here are pics of the entire kit, the price, depending on where you buy from is about 7000 Yen and up http://s1105.photobucket.com/user/irvan2836/library/Kit%20reviews/Mitsubishi%20Fuso%20Car%20Hauler

With a combination of accessible features, smart packaging, and a $999 price point, it’s obvious that the Dremel 3D Idea Builder is a machine aimed squarely at the mass market. The Idea Builder, announced today at MakerCon in New York City, is the first 3D printer to be released by a major tool manufacturer, and represents further maturation of at-home additive manufacturing. With initial sales being handled by traditional tool-sales outlets Home Depot, Amazon, and Canadian Tire, it promises to help expose 3D printing to a new range of users. http://makezine.com/2014/09/17/dremel-3d-printer-idea-builder/

I have heard good things from some that have tried using Krylon Silver Foil Metallic, they say its much better than using Alcald Chrome. -

Can i use plasti dip instead of paint?
martinfan5 replied to Frostydelsol's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Use a silver base coat, that will help seal it and prevent bleed through, then use white primer , then paint. Stay away from automotive products, Japanese kits do not like most of them, and you risk etching the body, automotive paints and primers can be way too hot, and unless you have experience with using them, stick with hobby paints, Tamiya is great quality, or, Testors Model Master Lacquer line is good, both have white primer. And both will give you a very decent paint job straight from the can. -
Thats really neat

Fedex pleased me, and irked me today( see the irked me thread for the first half) I called Fedex and explained what happened, the very nice CS lady I spoke with took care of it, and about 20 minutes later, my package was re- delivered to me. So props to FedEx and their excellent customer service, that is what pleased me today.

FedEx sort of irked me today , but they also pleased me today(see that thread), had a shipment of plastic goodness coming from Japan, I pre signed for so if, well, I guess the delivery lady did not see that in the notes, so since I never heard the door bell, I got a door tag. This story continues in the "what pleased me thread"

Is our hobby, growing or skrinking?

I like the kits that were being tooled up in the 90's.
