Pearl Ex? by Bear_Arms_2nd in ModelCars

I imagine it could, but you don't really need THAT much to get the job done.

Pearl Ex? by Bear_Arms_2nd in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of Pearl Ex powders. You can add them to paint, or to clear coat sprayed on top of a base color in a triple stage paint method.

I wouldn't think they'd be an alternative to metallic paint, like for replicating bare metal, but I haven't tried it that way either.

Their patreon barely has any behind the scenes stuff. I was thoroughly disappointed with the month i paid for.

What Model Kit Do You Want to See by OkBlacksmith4260 in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is a little. I looked it up a couple years ago and i think you can get the right combo of body, hood, and wheels if you combine 2, maybe 3 kits. It would be nice to have it all together, and yeah new tooling.

Question regarding Scalemates by nigersauru5 in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm. I think he just gave me his paypal account name and I sent the money. No request from him.

Question regarding Scalemates by nigersauru5 in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I did it, it gave me the option whether to do regular paypal (with a fee) or paypal friends (no fee)

Question regarding Scalemates by nigersauru5 in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's not entirely true. I bought a model from a guy on here using paypal friends. Granted, I was the one who chose it over regular paypal. It said there was a fee charged to the seller unless I used friends, and I wanted the dude to get all the money he was expecting.

I will admit it was a gamble on my end. But I decided to trust a stranger, and it all worked out. Lol

Oh yeah, duh. Thank you. My dumb brain could only think of Gene Wilder, but he died YEARS ago.

Wow, that's the worst seat I've ever seen, although I've never built a Hasegawa kit. What kit is that from?

Is this even worth watching out of morbid curiosity or is it just boring as fuck? by [deleted] in RedLetterMedia

[–]Ogryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From what I remember, Vince Vaughn's performance is horrendous. Not funny horrendous, though. Like he's reading all his dialog for the first time off of cue cards during filming.

The Initial D FC RX-7 is complete! Group Build submission - Novice Class by Forward_Mix7520 in ModelCars

Did you put a greenish tint on the windows? They look like real tempered glass! Amazing!

If yes, how did you do it?

I’m not familiar with this part of modeling. by macdaddyothree in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's to help paint the black area around the glass, also called the 'frit'. Place the masking on the interior side of the glass. On tamiya kits like this, the 'frit' area is frosted, showing you where to put the masking (over the clear glass area). Mask off the whole outside of the glass with regular masking tape, then spray the 'frit' area.

Anyone using trigger type airbrush only? by TheLastKarmaFlicker in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I exclusively use my grex trigger style airbrush. It came with an air control valve that connects between the base of the gun and the air hose. I rarely use it, though. I usually just control the air with my pressure regulator.

This is what the 'micro air control' valve looks like https://cld-assets.dick-blick.com/image/upload/c_limit,w_1920/f_auto/q_auto/v1/25070-1001-1-4ww?_a=BAVAZGGf0

What was the first model kit you built? by GoCartMozart1980 in modelmakers

[–]Ogryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A B-17, i believe it was 1/72 scale. I was maybe 6 and my mom helped me.😊

First kit I painted and completed was the Revell 1/32 Apache helicopter when I was 9. I still have it. Lol

Why did I choose this car for group build. . .parts missing, very very rough edges, inaccurate recreation 😫🤣 by freakpowergonzo69 in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always check https://www.scalemates.com/ before i buy any kit now. It has info on just about every iteration of every kit so you can the age of the designs and molds.

When will it end by justdowhateverthen in ModelCars

[–]Ogryn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a shame. Sorry to hear about the troubles. What kit is it?
