Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

Thanks Tom, just had a bottle brought to me from NY. Looking forward to trying it. Have you been using it? I decided not to use on this current model as I don't want to introduce an unknown into the situation this late in the game. Too much risk. But when I've had time to test it out, I am sure it ...

I got mine at an Ace Hardware store.

After getting back into the hobby five years ago, I started Modeler's Brand last year to help folks like us out.

I ship worldwide.
Send me a note anytime, BZK. I'm happy to answer all questions I can!

Hi It's not so much the actual building of the circuit and model I need help with it' that I don't have a clue what lights to actually buy, I know I need LEDs, resistors and a battery etc but here's so many different types I don't know what to buy http://www.maplin.co.uk/ If you don't mind me sayin...

Heh-heh. Thanks, Jedi, looks like I forgot that one!

That's the one. Thanks for the reply! With so many names, labels and vintages it's tough to tell which way is up with this product.

Using it on a kitchen floor... How novel! I might just try that too, I haven't slid on a floor in 30 years (not deliberately anyways!). lol.

To summarize the last 9 pages as I understand them: 1. It can be used straight thru an airbrush, though some folks will add 2-3 drops of dish soap to break the tension, while others will thin with 10%-50% water or windex or isopropyl alcohol. A few others will use a hair brush, as it is self-levelin...

I just went to two Ralph's, a Von's, a Rite Aid and finally found the 'vinyl and tile' version at a TruValue hardware for $8 @ 27oz. Don't know if it's the right stuff as the packaging is different than any picture I've found of it and the product 'title' has changed and is not the same as any threa...

Three grocery stores, a pharmacy and finally a hardware store had it... But, not the package I was expecting. I expected this: http://www.rocketreviews.com/image-future-floor-wax-400-600-47978.jpg I found this: http://http.cdnlayer.com/ec1images/225/products/2010/12078_110311i_ab.jpg The second pkg ...

I've been casually glancing around for Future for years and never once seen it here in los angeles. The other day I had a nightmare result from regular rustoleum painters touch clear gloss and set about to deliberately find Future. Several stores and lots of driving and no dice. Just got home, did a...

I've used light sheet in a couple models over the years and it is the only option for very specific conditions, such as needing a near-paper thin light source. EL Sheet, wire and ribbon all suffer from the same problems. 1. The high voltage inverter is just as likely to burn out as not, is very bulk...

Hi Iloverum, As Jedipuju kindly pointed out earlier, I am now selling LED Supply Packs and smd LEDTape under the name Modeler's Brand Hobby Supplies. MB's LED Starter 10-Pack sounds perfect for you at the best price mentioned so far. http://www.modelersbrand.com/sitefiles/images/lightpack_02.jpg USD...

This post is about normal LED's, but yes, ledtape is very cool. Pre-resistored, thin, small form factor, sticky backing and easy to use. There are a number of styles out there for every need and I just found a ninth color of it too. Few people need sixteen feet of the stuff and the 'good' ledtape co...

Fixed. Thanks, Redag!

Is my math wrong? 9 colors x 10 each = 90... 9 x 20 is 180 and 9 x 50 is 450. They're all 3mm Round either way.

Hey all, I've had a number of requests over the years to assemble an LED Pack for people, just like the Prize Pack I've offered on the Scale Model Addict Spring Contest for two years running now. I can finally offer, Modeler's Brand Light Packs! Available in three sizes, these Light Packs are design...

You don't want to use the dremel anyway. As nightmarish as it sounds, you want to use a pin vise and hand drill every last one of those little buggers. The dremel even at it's slowest will get away from you and run along the plastic. It's a lot of dangerous hassle. However if you are like me and hav...

I used it as a ceiling light in a galileo 7 kit and will be using it in a M Falcon cockpit. I found mine on ebay, but if you hunt around for EL wire, EL sheet and EL ribbon, you will find it at other places. EL Sheet is brighter than EL Ribbon by a lot and similar to EL Wire. Sheet can be cut to sha...
