18, but none in the last year.

The detail is incredible.

Hi neighbor. Yes, we should be able to learn something here.

Lordy, this is going to be the longest thread on this forum! ? I recently got the bugeye replica of my old race car that I'm building about 95% done and had to throw it into the alcohol pond due to a stupid mistake. Haven't finished anything in almost 2 years due to back issues but I'm back now trying to get something done.

Title says it all.

I use Glad Press and Seal under the lid to seal my jars. I use 4 ounce canning jars from Walmart for storage. A dozen is less than $10.

Airbrush = Paasche H. Inexpensive and very versatile.

Vintagerpm is correct. No more Testors paint. ?

Lacquer.

Welcome, Arnaud. Your English is excellent.

Most air brushes can be back flushed by putting some of your cleaning fluid in the cup, then the loosening the cap. Place your finger over the tip and press the trigger. You should see bubbles in your paint cup. Rinse and repeat as needed.

+1 They're affordable too!

The arts and crafts chain said starting Feb. 28 it will no longer offer the popular coupon at its 900-plus stores or online.

I didn't see a spec for the RPMs of the motor. It may run too fast.

Micromark is the distributor, not the maker of the product.

I use a variable speed dremel. It's heavy for delicate stuff so I hold the part I'm drilling and have the dremel mounted securely. It has the same type chuck you're using.

Thanks!

What ratio?

I need some education here. I've never chopped a top but it's something I may do. Why not just cut straight across?

One additional tip I have is to use Saran Wrap Press and Seal over the top of the jar before you put the lid on. That will keep the paint off the lid. I don't think the squeeze bottles will provide a good seal.

I use 4 oz. Mason jars from Walmart. A dozen is usually less than $10.

? I did. But just once. ?

Scale Finishes can mix just about any color but I didn't find that particular color listed. He might be able to help you though. http://scalefinishes.com/welcome.html

I built a drying cabinet from plywood. Inside, I use a 100w light bulb with a variable rheostat to dim it. I used a meat thermometer to determine the temperature in the box at different settings. I usually set it around 100 degrees. You could build something like that to dry your models.
