mike168 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 actually i already made kalas pala to the compressor what i found out is ung gears pala natanggal so ung problem di ko mabuksan ung gear box so un wala palang nagaayos ng compressor bad trip naman any idea how much a compressor for the tamiya sprayworks airbrush would cost? budget ko sana 1k wow thnx that would be very helpful if ever that happens pero sana compatible buy ko sya if compatible :cool: Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 wow thnx that would be very helpful if ever that happens pero sana compatible buy ko sya if compatible :cool: I think what floppydrive meant was he would ask his friend if he could give the gearbox on his old Tamiya Sprayworks compressor to you so that there would be no compatibility issues. The weekend is here, time to try again to bludgeon my Zvezda T-26 into submission. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 What do you use to thin Italeri White Stucco? I tried acetone but it doesn't mix well with the stucco producing a very grainy putty that won't really stick anywhere except on your hands. It looks OK with Tamiya cement but the cement is too expensive to use as a thinning medium. Will lacquer thinner work? Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Lil's has a new shipment of kits, mostly Trumpeter stuff but also includes Hasegawa 1/48 and 1/72 kits. The Trumpeter 1/35 Pzkpfw IV Karl munitions carrier is also available. BTW why is the Trump 1/48 Wyvern so expensive? Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I lost the rear sprocket for my T-26. Just when I've applied the base coat and two coats of acrylic. f#&k! Quote Link to comment

Dr_PepPeR Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Bummer! Mahahalata ng judge yan! Any chance of finding it? Vacuum or sweep under everything? I'm sure it will turn up - probably a few months from now when I've abandoned the kit. I've always believed that there is a plastic part bermuda triangle where important bits go for certain periods of time only to reappear once again in the most obvious places where you've sworn that you've gone over with a flashlight ten times. Anyway, the other track that I've broken sucks big time so the T-26 will end up as another paint test wreck. Will start a new kit this weekend, maybe something that has wings... Thanks for the sympathy sir, I really just needed to rant. This time I will take in-progress pics. Maybe something that runs on rubber wheels instead... hmmmm. Quote Link to comment

I know the frustration of lost parts, sir! I've had my share. I once lost the plastic canopy of a Y-wing. Had to scratch build one from hard plastic packaging material and some scraps of glass tint film. Anyway, looking on the bright side (while waiting for the bermuda triangle to cough out the sprocket), you can use it in a diorama with a Panzer blowing it away, hitting the sprocket and mangling the tracks - hence the missing part and poor tracks, hehehe. Good luck with your next kit, sir! Hope you complete it before the triangle opens up again. Quote Link to comment

Yes, I have a cheap set of German soldiers in early war uniforms... Thanks a lot sir, thanks! Quote Link to comment
Luftwaffe Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 Fellow modeller here, aircraft and choppers particularly but I also delve in other subjects every now and then. At present, almost all of the available cabinet spaces in our house are crammed full with unbuilt boxes of models which I've accumulated in the past 10 or more years, pissing-off the missus everytime I get home with another box to add to my collection. Funny thing is, the rigidity of my job now (plus two toddlers lurking around the workbench everytime I attempt to build) prevents me from ever building even a single model and yet, I couldn't resist buying one everytime I walk inside a hobby shop. I now feel that am somewhat afflicted with a rare disease of being addicted to plastics... is this normal guys or is it just me? Quote Link to comment

I have armor, figures, aircraft and choppers plus the occasional car kit, all unbuilt and scattered throughout the house and the garage, all 800+ of them. You sound pretty normal to me.

Classic or Hard to find unbuilt are really pricey once thier production is stopped. astig Ipon mo lang sila. you will have tons of time to build them in the future.

More kits to add to my unbuilt collection! Classic or Hard to find unbuilt are really pricey once thier production is stopped. astig Ipon mo lang sila. you will have tons of time to build them in the future. (i have 10 boxes still unopened) Kits are being reissued all the time, look at all the old Aurora kits being released under the Polar Lights label. As long as the molds are intact, kits can always be reissued. Anyway, I think my wife will the beneficiary for all these kits, by the time I have time to build them my eyes and motor coordination will be kaput. Quote Link to comment
