Starship Modeler Discussion Forums

I was wanting some suggestions and maybe some tips of the trade on how to pin parts (particularly resin) together. Example I'm working on Starcraft's Enterprise A in 1/1400 scale and I want to pin the neck and pylons.

Thank you brother Zombe and malady Ti, blessed is the Abbey of Aves!

I too have become one of the faithful and blessed. Forever I shall sing it's praise!

I had noticed over the course of browsing this site that Self Etching Automotive Primer keeps coming up, so I went and bought some the only problem is I could only find it in the rattle can. My question is if I spray it in a jar and run it through my airbrush will it work as well? Any particular psi...

The Easy Off worked! Now on to primer.

I will definitely give it a try! Plus I do have an annoying kid sister!!

BTW: I run a badger 360 airbrush with a tabletop compressor if it matters!

I have been wanting a spray booth for quite some time now. But I must admit I have been leary considering the hefty price tag. So I put it off in favor of just painting on a table on the front porch. Winter is fast approaching and I would prefer not freezing off my nether regions trying to make that...

I checked out the sites and so far all of them have been added to my bookmarks! (except harbor freight) Thanks for the great tips!

I'm trying to find a good site that carries all the good painting and modeling supplies and I'm having a bad run of luck! Anyone have any suggestions Needing: Black CA Mr. Primer Some sort of dull clear coat cans of air for air brush Really good paint Thinner of some sort Also what is the ideal mix ...

Is there any way to remove glue from a model? (built in haste!) I want to start over!

I am building both styrene and resin models. What is the best glue for these?
Where can I buy it?
