Who Is Into Scale Modelling?

[Dr_PepPeR]

I have no idea how big (or small) that figure is. How tall is it? Nice job on the digital camo, I have headaches trying to figure out how to paint MARPAT on a 1/35 modern US Marine figure.

I'm planning to pick up this hobby again. What's the best place to buy kits and supplies now?

Rockyroadster,

 

You have three choices for shops, JMN in Harrison Plaza, Lils in megamall, Makati or TRinoma, and STC in SM North, Alimall, Greenhills, SM fairview or tetuan.

 

Check out our website: www.ipmsmanila.com or contact us if you would like help getting back in the hobby. Thanks!

Reminds me of my hobby back in the late 90's, I was into 1:35 models back then and still have some unpainted Academy and Tamiya kits

Hello Sir, while waiting for my scale models,

take a look at my 1:1 scale Jagdpanther

 

Oh man! If I had the money I'd travel to the US or Europe to see these panzers! Great photo sir! These Jagdpanthers are so baddass!

[bytearray]

forgot to mention the urethane clear will be for the top coat. then wetsand from 2000 to 12000 grit. buddies Nick and Ricky did this with their bike kits and Nicks Kampfer Gundam kit. is that a new kit from Academy?

 

where could I find higher grits? I am looking at ace hardware but can't find one. They only have those 2000-3000.

Try Lil's or Special Toys, I remember seeing a Tamiya pack of high grit cloths used for finishing model cars.

You can check out Tamiya's Sprayworks Set, it has an airbrush with a compressor and it's very compact, don't forget to buy the adaptor so you can plug it into an electric socket. I still prefer using a Badger 150 with a compressor/holding tank that I got from a local hardware store.

Looking forward to building a simple 1/72 jet this weekend.

Try also JMG sa Harrison Plaza; they can order kits for you. If you are into bi-planes, Roden and Eduard are good brands. I got a Staaken last year - biggest German bomber for WWI.
