    Dental Tools for Plastic kits

    I use them pretty much any time I use milliput - helps deal with sausage fingers (or not deal with them, depending on how you look at it) and generally useful for sculpting it at well after applying. Pretty much all styles that I can get my hands on, I keep. I have used all different styles...

    Future formulation in US

    I know that the formulation for Future was changed and rendered it almost unusable in the rest of the world, I thought that we had kept the formulation the same in the US. It looks like that may not be the case any more. Was talking to a friend the other day, and he told me that he had...

    Big drop of paint on bristles

    I am somewhat inexperienced when it comes to brush painting, and I am trying to improve my detailing skills. One area I am running into is when I go to use 3/0 brushes or smaller, I get a large droplet of paint at the end of the bristles when I dip them in the paint. I have wiped off the...

    2014 Modelling Goals

    SWMBO tells me my goal was to finish ANYTHING before I bought another kit. Wow, do those Maisto snap/screw together kits come in handy... ;D Seriously, though, my goal [i]is[\i] to finish at least one kit this year without mangling it in the process.. Other than that, my only goals are to...

    How big of a mess can you make with 2 large double-doubles?

    Wow!! Glad to hear you survived - even though the coffee and truck probably didn't.

    Secret Santa 2013

    Dear Santa, I put my Secret Santa gift on your sleigh today, but I had a couple of problems. First, my wife used up all of the wrapping paper without telling me or buying more >:(, so the person getting my gift will know what they are getting straight away. Second, as it has been REALLY snowy...

    Question about airbrushing with Tamiya

    I used Tamiya X20A. Sprayed at 22 psi. I seemed to have issues with flow below 20 psi. The paint just wouldn't flow on a consistent basis without being at 22 psi +. I started at 15 psi and kept adjusting my pressure until I shot paint every time I pulled the trigger 3-4 times.

    Question about airbrushing with Tamiya

    Yeah. I mist coated twice, let that dry, then shot a wet coat.

    Question about airbrushing with Tamiya

    What ratio would you use to thin it out? I used about 2:1 paint to thinner and shot it at 22 psi. I added a little more thinner and it seemed to come out too thin. The paint I sprayed for the wheel centers didn't completely cover completely. Could this be an issue with the ratio, pressure...

    Question about airbrushing with Tamiya

    Okay, so I just started airbrushing after watching lots of videos and reading a lot of articles and books on airbrushing. I am using a Paasche type H until I get a bit more skilled. Last night I tried my first base coat, and overall I am very happy with the results. I am working on this...

    My Shiny '69 Charger

    Engine looks good so far. The only issue I see is the center console above is slanted to the right. The notch on the left side is supposed to line up with the corresponding notch on the driver's side. This is actually one of the things I HATE about Revell's 68 and 69 Charger kits - the right...

    Detailing a engine

    If you are impatient like me (or lack the skill to make some parts - again like me), Elm City has a nice selection of products for detailing engines. If you are cheap like my wife (wait, that came out wrong), you can use any wire (inslulated or not) 24 gauge or smaller for wires/battery cables...
