Sledsel Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) My wife was looking for "whatever" today and dragged me out to several antique stores out in the middle of no place. I did see some cool stuff there and some kits but this one caught my eye. I know it's nothing special but I think I can make something cool out of it and it was cheap, like crazy cheap. It's sealed from the factory still which is a big bonus. We made a stop at Ollies..... well, ya know how that turns out sometimes. Edited March 2 by Sledsel 8

That large scale ‘57 ‘Bird is pretty nice to build; got mine for 9 bucks at Hobby Lobby after it went on sale because it was in that store for many years because I always remember it was pretty expensive. 7

She's got serious skills in her own hobbies, anything crafting/sewing. Couldn't ask for a better "other half". 2

I guess everyone is waiting for them to be placed in the clearance Isle. Not me. I don't need anymore. I'm trying to sell most of my kits off.

Dpate Posted March 2 Posted March 2 (edited) Out with the old n in with the new. Got this today at harbor freight. Actually shocked me how quiet it is, and impressed at 1 min & 23 secs of continuous air @ 20PSI. I’m hoping the kobalt trap will work good. If there is a better way to set this up please let me know. Should I keep the trap straight like this? Or remove the extra coupling, and let it sit at a slight angle behind the tank? Angle isn’t that bad to where it’ll affect the trap.

The closer your moisture trap is to the actual airbrush, the better. 1
