Royal is a good mid range brush brand. You might have to talk to the art guy at the store to find what he recommends. I am just speaking with my own experience. Most of my model work is done with Tamiya sprays and bottle paints. They work well for me. Their Acrylics aren't bad. As far as a thinner for Testors, I've used a couple drops of enamel thinner, any brand would work. Remember that Testor's yellow is sort of transparent and the underlying color will show through. I've never tried a brush on primer. I always use a spray. I like Plasti-cote or Duplicolor. I had some success with NAPA's primer. Tamiya has very good spray primers in different colors.

ewetwo Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 I'm pretty sure it's a AMT Masterpiece model. Same as the Pro Shop series but built. Never seen it in kit form like the Chrysler and Plymouth.
Classicgas Posted October 24, 2022 Posted October 24, 2022 A complete surprise. A friend sent me this. 3

Brudda Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Oh boy. Mark just dropped off this 1/8 VW Beatle convertible. Need a bigger house.
cobraman Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 Not as exciting as a 1/8 VW but I got this . 1

Had to open a few boxes just to see what’s there. From what I see, the convertible top will work, a lot of parts for the top. I’m going to try to resin cast a 1/8 Porsche 911 Carrera wheel. Two tone paint and slam it to the ground. It’s a superbeatle a lot different than the original bug.
Straightliner59 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 I got a bottle of Alteco CA glue formulated for repairing metal dental fittings. Hoping I've found something better for gluing sheet aluminum, than contact cement!
niteowl7710 Posted October 27, 2022 Posted October 27, 2022 From S.K. Decals, some of the first liveries for the upcoming NuNu Audi A4...if they'd stop pushing the release date back. 1

stitchdup Posted October 28, 2022 Posted October 28, 2022 My new laptop arrived so i can finally do some printing. If any of you are thinking to get a 3d printer make sure your computer has at least 8gig of ram. mine didn't so i had to upgrade which is why its in model related new stuff. I only got it so i can use my 3d printer and both my laptops i had were too weak but this one works like a charm and hasn't crashed running lychee. Cant wait to get home on saturday and print something 1

Do not know what color yet . I’m going for a cal look but that will depends on if I can resin cast a Porsche wheel for it. If I can , it will be slammed and a wild color will painted. If I cannot cast a wheel I will go for the Austin power colors.
ZTony8 Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Buddies and I went to the hooby store near where we went to eat and bought an Aoshima Lamborghini Aventador roadster and a can of Tamiya TS-97 pearl yellow paint.
