Use Mr. Surfacer 1200 in the rattle can. Best primer ever!
-
Thanks for the suggestion Dick. I've e-mailed him.

Troy,
Just for reference MJ is Mary Jane, most decidedly female.:D

Very nice job. Nice to see a dio that isn't just a bunch of stuff thrown on a base with no regard to story.

There are 25 models currently in the Hall of Shame. They mock me every time I go into my model room.
-
How about everything I've already got halfway started. At last count the "Hall of Shame" was over 25 kits.

Never heard of them. Are they new?

I think it has a good shot at repairing the damage. You could always sand with some VERY fine grade sandpaper first. (1200 grit)

Eric,
Thanks for all that you've done. I know what a major pain this type of stuff is and you've done a great job on a thankless but important task.

I'm not having any speed problems. The new version is as fast as the old one to me.

My poor old Badger 150 is badly in need of a service. Although I like it a lot, I think it's time for a change and I've heard many good things about Iwata's. They're very well made and look (as long as they're looked after) as if they will last for years.
Just need to get the room tidied up and I'll get cracking!!!
Mail your Badger 150 to Badger and they will service it and rehab it and put it back into factory specs for FREE. They even pay the return postage. Get a silent compressor with a tank if you aren't going to get a tank filled with Nitrogen or the like.

Do you have a basement or spare room to which you can dedicate to modeling? If not, then you will need a mobile setup.

I love it! Now all I need is an iPad! Thanks Eric, for giving me an excuse!!!!
Man Dennis, I wish I'd thought of that. Great excuse.

Awesome. I am glad to see IPMS/USA doing this.

does model master has specific color series for special country or planes? like 3 colors for painting supermarine spitfire in british war.
i love spitfire but tamiya color makes me concern :)
for example, the tamiya XF71(maybe wrong number) for Japanese navy fighter cockpit is so strange and i never saw anybody paint with that color. i am pretty sure it is wrong.
Ying,
Yes, one of the big advantages of Model Master Enamels is that they have paints specifically formulated to many of the colors needed to paint WWII or modern aircraft or armor. There is no mixing paint colors necessary in most cases.
-
Ni Hao! I generally paint with Model Master enamels thinned with Model Master thinner.

The update to the Forum failed quite badly.
I have restored the files and database. I may try the update again later in the weekend.

It never works the first time, does it? Thanks for the effort.

I agree that is one pretty car. Can't wait to see it done.

I am getting an error when I click on the link. Website server may be down.

Love that car. Good color choice.

Which is why there are fewer and fewer shops. it'll be a sad day when you have to order the paint and glue from the Kiwis, too
OTOH, the new 1/32 Revell-Germany Ar 196 looks great on Hyperscale and it's US SRP is $41 ... Trumpeter needs to take notes from them.
Frankly, RoG impresses me a lot in regard to what they are putting out lately. The value for the money is outstanding.

One reason to hook up with an ISP is the ability to host your own photos and then link them in here or anywhere. It is pretty cheap these days.
