Tip of the Week

Use safety glasses!! I know that they're clunky and can be a pain, but would you rather be more comfortable and end up with your eyes glued open or have your vision and continue to build models? The choice is yours but I'll always choose the latter.

Tip of the Week

Sorry for the last wait. I was on holidays and not around a computer for the last while. But with holidays comes new models. The latest in this lineup are:

British Universal Carrier Forced Recon - Tamiya
A-10 Thunderbolt - Revell Monogram
F-18 Hornet - Revell
Decals for F-18 - Leading Edge Decals

and I got putty to apply zimmerit to my Tamiya Tiger, which by the way, is based after Michael Wittman's last vehicle. (Pics soon!!)

Anyways, now you're all wondering what the tip of the week is. This week's tip is to use ordinary tin foil and wire to detail your models. Tin foil can be bought at most grocery stores for a low price, and wire can be found at almost any hardware or craft store. You can use these two, inexpensive items to keep your models looking professional without the extra costs.

Tip of the Week

I'm so sorry to all of my readers that I haven't been on lately. I just haven't gotten around to it. Anyways, the tip of the week is to use wood putty rather than use expensive model putty to fill gaps. Wood filler can be bought at the average hardware or woodworking store. It's a quick, and inexpensive fix for a common problem.

Tip of the Week

The tip of the week for this week is to buy modelling magazines. Some have excellent references to other people's models and tips and tricks that even I wouldn't think of. The only problem is that sometimes the cost of subscription can be more than the everyday modeller can afford.

Tip of the Week

Don't hole yourself up in your garage and build models forever. Spend some time with your mom for Mother's Day and tell her how much you care about her.

Tip of the Week

Buy lots of models at a time. It will let you get a variety of models in a short period of time.

Tip of the Week

Why bother buying the expensive sprue cutters when you can just use copper wire cutters? They're cheaper, easier to find, and they work just the same! Just ask for them at your local hardware store.
