floppydrive Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Aside from all the DML 3-in-1, premium, smart kits, I got tempted by the AFV Club Centurion 105mm Gun NATO version and the Big Shot GMC.Doc,You finished all the kits! No more DML kits in Lil's! I passed by last saturday- no cards and wallet so no problem! Quote Link to comment

Boelcke Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Gents, Check out the IPMS-BA Exhibit now on-going at the basement, Robinsons Galleria. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Gents, Check out the IPMS-BA Exhibit now on-going at the basement, Robinsons Galleria. Till when is this? New items in Lils: DML Su-100, Dicker Max and Panzerkampfwagen IV F 2G, AFV Club Stryker and Hasegawa's 1/32 P-47D. Good thing I'm broke now. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Gents, Check out the IPMS-BA Exhibit now on-going at the basement, Robinsons Galleria. Just checked it out this afternoon. Mostly 1/32 and 1/48 aircraft and some nice 1/35 choppers. So how come there are only 6 1/35 armor models???? Unfair! BTW just a suggestion, if the IPMS-BA guys aren't busy with something, maybe they should chat up the people who look at their exhibits, especially one who takes time to really look at the models. I saw an adolescent examining the F-4s really closely and I'm sure he had lots of questions on his mind. Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Sorry for the late reply, Doc. Was out of town almost the whole week. Im glad you saw the exhibit. I was there yesterday and Saturday. I think you saw only the Philippine armor entries. There were other 1/35 armor kits, in fact. Thanks for the suggestion. Its a valid one, and Ill tell the others about it. Next stop: Nationals this November. Quote Link to comment

Next stop: Nationals this November. I'm glad I caught it too. I wish I could have seen the other 1/35 AFVs but I'm sure a lot of modelers will join the November nationals. I don't know how many times I've said this but if I could finish one by November... fat chance. Congratulations to the IPMS-BA for helping promote the hobby. Quote Link to comment
manhivin Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 do we still have Hasegawa or Revell models available here in RP? Quote Link to comment
Boelcke Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Manhivin, Yes, we do. You can find Hasegawa kits at all Lils outlets (Quad, MegaMall and Trinoma). Old Revell (US) kits are pretty hard to come by these days, but newer (and better) Revell Germany kits are available at JMNs in Harrison and Hobbies and Comics in Makati Cinema Square.

Special Toys and Hobbies sometimes have the new Hasegawa kits as well as some old Revell, AMT, ERTL and Monogram kits but they are scattered among the shops in Manila, like SM City North, Festival Mall and in Greenhills.

papaboar2 Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Hi guys, whats the best type of paint to use for the models? Tamiya acrylic or enamel? Quote Link to comment
floppydrive Posted August 12, 2007 Share Posted August 12, 2007 Hi guys, whats the best type of paint to use for the models? Tamiya acrylic or enamel?For plastic scale models, I'd suggest acrylic paint. It dries faster than enamel, and it's easier to clean the brushes and tools. Quote Link to comment
Dr_PepPeR Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 For plastic scale models, I'd suggest acrylic paint. It dries faster than enamel, and it's easier to clean the brushes and tools. For airbrushing, I would go with Tamiya acrylics. They are readily available, most of the stocks are new, they come in a very wide range of colors and finishes. Mr. Hobby colors have very smooth pigments, but the choices and supply is very limited. For brushpainting, I find Tamiya enamels, which is a 'hot' paint, meaning the base solvent eats into the plastic, are better at coverage than the Tamiya acrylics, which seem to thin to properly brush on in one coat. However, the acrylics brush on better if you apply a base coat, like a spray lacquer. For washes, I use thinned oil paints and for drybrushing, almost always with oil paints. Quote Link to comment
