ok so i bought it today i got such a great deal on it -it was on sale for 35$ off the original price (special thanks to cave_troll on that part) -i got a moisture trap -and with a 10$ coupon it came to a total of $108.00 (which is $8 more that i paid for a testors mini blue compressor which didnt ha...

thanks for the tip!
i will have to make sure that i get it before the 5th because then it goes back to the regular price

I don't think it is overkill. 3 gallons is not much for some air tools. If you pump it up to 125psi and turn it off when the motor cuts out then it would probably last quite a while for some silent airbrushing before you needed to fill the tank again. IM BACK!! well that definately seems like a plu...

i live in a town house so i realy have no other use for a compressor. when you say over kill what do you mean, psi wise, gallons for the tank, or something else. and if you have any other recomendations they would be much appreciated. btw im leaving today so this will almost deffinately be my last p...

i was surfing the internet for a good compressor and came across this. it a craftsman compressor with a gauge on it so i can lower the pressure. i can get a sepperate moisture trap and i can get it from a sears that is close to me. if any one sees any problems with this please tell me so i dont buy ...

im only back for a day and then im leaving again so i figured that i would respond before i left.
the part is not brokent of but i think that it is constricting the air flow and making my painting splattery.
so i think what i am going to do is buy one from a hardware store.

yes it is very sad it fell off a table and the thingy tha u skrew the hose into bent. so that means that i need to but a new one. i went to my lhs and asked if it was worth fixing (its a blue testors compresor with no moisture trap of psi gauge) he said no. and that i should go to a place like a har...

thanks again for the info!!!!

thanks.
i was going to use the led calculator you mentioned. but i got to the web site and realisedi had no clue where the info was.

thanks!!!

i got a hole bunch of these a wrote al the stuff down to calculate a resistor and then i went and lost it. so do any of you people have the forward voltage, forward current and what not to calculate a resistor?

thanks

thanks!
i found it and i will make sure to get some when ever i get enough cash

can you post another link?
i clicked on it and it said "Your dataset has expired. Please search again."


thanks

what i think i am going to want to do is put some blinking lights into a model of a tie fighter and an x-wing but sice i cant get them to work yet i dont know what im going to do. im thinking that i am just going to give up on the smt tingies and buy bigger ones. thats what i meant to do in the firs...

i got most of my information from the article here on ssm by Clyde Jones

i dont have any pcb's im just trying to wire a smt 4060 with out one and im having some trouble. is there a place that has pcbs for smt 4060's? if so, do tell. if not and you have a suggestion on how to make it easier (besides the stuff previously mentioned) please keep in mind that i am a young mod...

im still having some trouble with the small 4060 so any ideas that you have to make it easier (that is also cheap) please tell me

i am looking to purchase a resistor wheel does anybody know of a good place to buy one?? i have looked on all the stores listed on this wonderful site and found nothing except potentiometer which wont help because the increments are not labled.

i am looking for a custom designed circuit board, does any body know of a place that i can email and they can design and build the circuit board for me, that is also not to evpensive?

thanks

when ever i airbrush i just open a window and turn on a fan in my room.
is this enough? and if you have a solution please remember that i am in a town house meaning that i dont have alot of space (so no big fan contraptions) and i am a young modeler so no big cost solutions
thanks

Thanks bluesman, michaels does have it and that means that my boat will finaly have a base!! BTW here is a Link if anyone wants it http://www.michaels.com/art/online/disp ... Num=gc0026

bluesman,
great looking model i think that the water looks great, which brings me to my next question, where would you get that stuff because i have a boat model just waiting for a base of water and i think that celluclay would work great. thanks

ps. i do not mean to hijack the thread sorry!
