Ricky207 Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Hello, New to this computer stuff but not to scale models. Although I have been out of the hobby for over 25 years! I still in that time have kept the juices flowing by purchasing scale auto, model mag and fine scale modeler to name a few. I also purchased a few kits and resins along the way as I knew eventually all the kids would eventually leave the nest. My son just left for basic training in the Coast Guard, so I guess its time to purchase a new airbrush and some supplies. I guess I will have to purchase them online as the last local hobby shop closed its doors last summer. Looking forward to see everyone's stuff for inspiration, although there seems to be plenty on the TV lately. I know some of those shows may be set up............Gas Monkey or Drag Outlaws. But would love to build me the "Crow" "Murder Nova" or that green metal flake "Gasser" from "Gas Monkey Garage" Exciting times indeed!..................................Peace Friends Ricky
chunkypeanutbutter Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Welcome. Assuming by the 207, you're in Maine.
Ricky207 Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 That is correct, very South from you though, though its nice to see someone local (somewhat) Are there many New Englanders?
Foxer Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Welcome to the show! ... from way down south ... NE, that is.
NOTV4SCOTT Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Hey Everybody, Took a job as a health aide for by buddy with ALS. Had a lot of down time and was getting sick of the tele. Worked on models back in high school (42 now) and had NO patience and a lousy temper. Older and wiser, got myself a few car kits (1/25 scale) and am having a blast! I consider myself brand new to the hobby pretending the past never happened. Putting together a B-17 Flying Fortress for my buddy (Mike) who is a veteran and loves planes. Anyhow, I soaked my pieces, light sand, prime red and was ready to build. I used a crummy paint from the hobby shop and the B-17's body is now bumpy and "veiny". This has not happened to other models I've worked on. I usually use Rostoleum paints and they work great. My question: How the heck do I get this paint off without sanding out details? Is there a liquid to soak the pieces in? Tried Simple Green to soak a few days and got no results. Spent hours painting the crew (though no one will ever see them. devil's in the details) and would hate to buy a new plane. Thank you all for any input you have. It's great to be in a forum with you all because none of my friends build and think I'm nuts. I am, but so what. By the way I am a born and bred Nutmeger Yankee here in Stafford Connecticut. It's a pleasure to meet ya'll!
