  1. Try putting it in a zip lock baggie, I have been doing that lately with my glues and paints and they seam to be lasting longer. I don't get to build everyday so my supplies set on the shelf more than not.
  2. I read somewhere lately that they have a 2 part automotive clear. I sent two emails to them with no response. Do they have a phone number or another way of contacting them?
  3. Thanks guys, I picked up November at LHS and just wanted to make sure I didn't miss any. After the changes are in order I will send for a subscription. Thanks again.
  4. Does anybody know of the latest issue out? The last one I have is the November issue.
  5. Does anybody know if anyone makes decals for the sanford and son truck? Wanting to build a replica. Thanks
  6. I agree, thanks round2 for everything. Something I really like is the cardboard displays like what was included with the new issue of the flameout kit. I bought an extra kit just for that. Like to see more of these in the future. They are awesome for displaying your finished kits.
  7. I have a question on testors acrylic paints, the one in the set like you get at hobby lobby. I have a kit I want to paint with it through my airbrush. My questions are, 1- how much should I thin it? 2- can I use it over any primer or none? 3- what clear should be used over it? 4- can the automotive urothane be used over it? Thanks for any help.
  8. x4! I own a shop with two employees. I pay their salary and take all the risk. When a car leaves the shop it has my name on it no matter who worked on it. RIP Mr. BARRIS.
  9. What issue is it? I will have to check my lhs this weekend.
  10. Does anyone know who makes a stock hood for the amt 73 mustang?
  11. Does anyone know if the reissue will have the green tinted windows?
  12. a few years back when they were rereleased, did they do the Volkswagen bug? I never seen one and figured someone here would know.
  13. maybe you should have just replied on how nice of a build this is.
  14. Think I'll pass after last year
  15. Nice build, what did you use for paint, tires and wheels?
  16. finished this about a month ago.
  17. Nice job hondo, that body does fit that chassis well. i was getting ready to build the tobias gremlin, after seeing this i might try that chassis with the gremlin body instead. Thanks for the tip.
  18. Cool, i can finally get me a dave deals go-mad nomad. glad to see this release.
  19. I build mostly short track race cars that body work is not as important than show cars but the problem i have is when i fill area's like panel lines on doors, trunks or 3 piece body seams it takes very little filler.I sand it so it is perfectly smooth, then when i prime it, it seems to show up or almost look as if it has lifted or sunken. What can i do to keep the body work underneath from doing this. I have been using bondo 801 glazing and evercoat glazing putty.Primer is usually plastikote,testors fine gray or tamiya. No matter which combination i use i seem to get the same results??? The panel lines seem to reappear after the next coat of primer or paint. Thanks for any help or suggestions.
  20. Do they sell these local at places like lowes or home depot?
  21. Well jason, first of all most of the advice you get here in my opinion is correct, these guys are great. As for me i use to be strickley spray cans.I bought airbrush items here and there until i had everything to use it correctly.I bought my airbrush at hobby lobby with the 40% coupon. you can also get the airbrush online just as cheap if you shop around. This place has good deals(http://www.coastairbrush.com/index.html).I now use both techniques. I personally like the plastikote primers and dupli that you can get at most car parts stores. I stick to mostly hobby type paints like tamiya,testors and model masters. As someone else mentioned i purchased the donn yost DVD's and his technique of cutting the bottle enamels with lacquer thinner works well. i tried the rustolems once but personally didn't like the results. good luck with what direction you decide to go with.
  22. Thanks Bill, that is what i was looking for. $7.50 for 100 is better than $8-$10 for 8.
  23. What can be used instead of buying the pricey aftermarkets?
