chillout416 Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Yes I remember them, Italeri I think still has 1/72 figures and I've also seen some ESCI and Historex 1/72 figures at Roel's shop in Makati Cinema Square its name is "Hobbies and Comics". Never bought any of them though coz I have trouble painting them. Faces at 1/35 is bad enough what more 1/72 at my friggin age. I tried some 1/72 armor but my wife says they look like crablets.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> Does the shop you're referring to at MCS still sells them? crablets? yum! Quote Link to comment

Experiment 626 Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 what's the best to use for creating panel lines on models? would a normal sign pen do? recommended size of the tip?<{POST_SNAPBACK}> I use a dental tool. It's what your dentist use & it's shaped kinda like an extended 'C'. You can get one along Recto just below the LRT Station after Carriedo coming from Baclaran (forgot the station's name). Puro dental shops ang part ng Recto na yun. Quote Link to comment

Just need to practice using it lest you end up with extra panel lines. hehehe Regarding Special Toys and Hobbies in Sta Cruz, pwede ba tawaran yun presyo doon? Uso naman tawad sa Sta Cruz di ba? May bago silang dating na Star Wars ERTL kits - B-wing, Jedi Starfighter (Episode 3 version). May Macross Zero sila na Hasegawa, at kaunti pa na stocks ng Macross VF-1x series. Quote Link to comment

I just don't want to go all the way to Recto just to get one. Would you know any other source in the Makati area? Quote Link to comment

My experience with Winston's salesladies is they don't have authority to lower the prices. You'll be lucky if Winston is around, he can give you discounts but not really that much. Better to wait for his mark down sales. Quote Link to comment

Boelcke Posted July 10, 2006 Share Posted July 10, 2006 Doc, You know Roel pala. I used to frequent his shop din but havent been there that frequently these last couple of years. Is he still into fishing? Btw, Ive used both the dental scribing tool and the needle-and-chuck/XActo handle rig, and I still prefer the latter. The dental tool scribes away a lot of plastic and has a bigger diameter than the needle. The panel lines you scribe may be too big for 1/48 and 1/72 kits, not to mention 1/144. So now I use it only to mark areas I intend to cut open. Quote Link to comment

I used to catch him working on a kit or a circuit board in his MCS shop. Now I hardly see him there and when I do, he has a fishing buddy and they talk about deep sea fishing. Oh well maybe he grew up and I didn't hehehe. I was thinking of using the dental tool to resribe the panel lines on my Revell 1/32 F-14 and Mig-29 as well as some armor stuff. I heard that there is a strip of plastic that actually comes out from using the dental tool so it should be ideal for creating 1/32 panel lines. I agree that you can really make fine lines with the needle, and doing a couple of light passes is enough to make a good panel line. I still want to try out the dental tool though.
