  1. Let us know how it comes out. I'm trying to master acrylics and Future as well.
  2. I just completed this last week. It's not beautiful, but it works. Now to get it filled up.
  3. Here's something I came up with. I used it to thread the tubing between the nails to get the shape I wanted and used a hair dryer to get it to keep it's shape.
  4. Great job and the color choices are excellent!
  5. Good job after such a long layoff. Let's see more.
  6. Make sure you only use a few drops. Most tips I've read that suggest Flow Aid only call for about 1 to 2 ml in a 100 ml mixture of thinner.
  7. Walmart has denatured alcohol.
  8. Never check it. Everything I need is here.
  9. http://www.scalefinishes.com/welcome.html Beat me, Joe!

    What a great job you did! That color combo works!
  11. Awesome build! Love those 67s.
  12. Beautiful workmanship!
  13. Beautiful deep looking paint! Great job!
  14. I've got a 105 also. I've been shooting a lot of acrylics and Future. I use windshield washer cleaner to soak everything in. The only parts I don't soak are the air valve assembly, the needle tube/shank assembly and the back lever. Everything else goes in the cleaner. I use stronger window cleaner sprayed on a paper towel to wipe everything down after a good soak. Toothbrushes get the stubborn stuff out of the cup lid. I bought a set of airbrush cleaners that I use on the small orifices of the main body of the AB. Windshield washer fluid is a lot cheaper than thinner and more effective than plain water.
  15. Down draft booths are how the 1:1 booths are designed. Put your exhaust connection in the bottom. If that's not feasible, put it in the back. A false floor is a good idea as well. Here's what I've come up with. http://www.modelcars...showtopic=76088
  16. Here's what I built. As Drake69 said, be sure to use a BRUSHLESS MOTOR. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=76088
  17. Nice one! Looks like the one I had a little.
  18. Steve, I'll go ahead one more time and emphasize the fact that bathroom fans are not brushless. In order to have a nice explosion all you need is a combustible mixture and a spark source. You'll have a spark source if you use a bathroom exhaust fan. If you're only going to spray acrylic paint, you're fine. If you spray any lacquer or enamels, you may not be.
  19. Love those McLarens!
  20. I like that a lot!
