I used to use Dixie but got tired of thier odd shipping policy. Now I use the [url=http:// www.airbrushestore.com /]Airbrush.com[/url] store. Thank you so MUCH. I have been trying to find the right airbrush for my first time and I was getting so frustrated. Until you metioned this website. WOW. I a...

I checked both out on their website and whoa, it does look like it is a perfect way for me to dive into the world of electronics but it's pretty pricey. :cry: I figured I'll just go to a bookstore and order it then when it do arrives I'll say I changed my mind. :wink: then they'll shelve it then I'l...

Whew, now I know the difference between them. I figured Aves is not necessary unless I do sculping. Mr. Surfacer 500 and Black CA is on my shopping list for tmw. Thx

Oh, for your future airbrush? Go to a good tool supply store and get a standard small compressor with a tank like a Campbell & Hausefield . It mainly just needs a pressure regulator and moisture trap and the trap can be in the air line near the airbrush. I ue my C&H for airbrushing and runn...

I am praying that after the start up phase, it should be c...

I just checked out tenax 7R and everyone said it's the best out there so I got two bottles and the applicator. 8) Also, I got a cheap Spruce Cutter. I got filers but I am not sure what kind of sand paper I should use for models. :? The problem with the airbrushes is that I need an air compressor and...

Hiya, I have searched the whole internet and couldnt find a guide to learning electronics specifically for modelers. (whoa, a roach just crawled up my screen) :x I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction? also, I want to purchase a lot of cheap electronics such as resistors, LE...

Hiya, this is my first post ;-) hmm, I just recently discovered the world of modding and I am so excited to jump in the deep end. :D I already ordered some models on-line but... I want to be completely prepared to begin when they arrive so... could anyone give me a basic to moderate list of things I...
