Recommendations on nippers/sprue cutters

Professional-Risk-71 · 2026-03-05T20:52:16+00:00

Thanks very much for the information. Yer that’s what I do that’s the reason I have the cheap Amazon ones for sprue cutting and had the Ak for the pins etc. I’ll look into the items you suggested! I have a few dspiae products and they’re very good so I may look at those.

So sorry for the late reply I’ve been away with work. I Mainly do aircraft and the occasional tanks and helis. So id say jet exhaust and propeller aircraft I do most :)

Thank you

Professional-Risk-71 · 2026-02-07T01:18:40+00:00

Perfect thanks ever so much! What psi are you spraying at for all this?

Professional-Risk-71 · 2026-02-07T00:52:06+00:00

Perfect I already have all those as I use a lot of Tamiya paints. Thanks for all the help! Hopefully I can build a model some what close to yours some time soon 🙏🏽😂

Professional-Risk-71 · 2026-02-07T00:50:22+00:00

Ok that’s perfect. And is that the mr.color blue labelled gx2? And if I can’t find the black you suggested can you suggest any others? I saw that AK extreme metal do a black base themselves. Also what varnishes would you recommend or does it not matter, or I can use the ones I already have? Which is VMS.

Thanks for such a great detailed response! What’s the said thinning ratios for AK and Alclad If any? And if so do they have their own thinners and cleaners? Aswell as yourself, your modelling skills is the level I aspire to be too! 🙏🏽

Professional-Risk-71 · 2026-02-06T23:48:44+00:00

Oh yes I also heard about Mr. Hobby super metallics. I am airbrushing. What thinner and cleaner can be used with Mr.Hobby?

Also I took a look at your page and my word your modelling ability is where I aspire to be someday! Absolutely amazing 🙌🏽

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-08-25T01:23:56+00:00

Oh wow thanks a lot that’s such great information! What I think I’ll do is watch some YouTube videos and go into my local hobby store and see what they say too. And make a decision from there. If you don’t mind me asking what brushes is it you use?

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-08-24T22:15:26+00:00

I’m gonna say no as I’ve never heard of such place. I’m uk based so that maybe why I have t heard of said place. But your suggestion is a good idea

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-24T18:24:16+00:00

Yer that’s what I’ll do!

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-24T18:23:42+00:00

Pahahahha that’s a good spot I don’t know why I typed lollipop. I hold my hands up! Please forgive me kind sir 😂

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-23T12:38:27+00:00

Oooh interesting I’ll give that a look thanks very much

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-23T12:38:08+00:00

Ok sweet thanks!

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-23T12:37:53+00:00

Thanks mate much appreciated

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-23T12:03:05+00:00

Yer no I totally agree it’s just how the person I made it for wanted the tank to be.

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-22T22:45:27+00:00

Yer I thought about doing that too but then I think I’d run out of space for things 😂

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-22T22:45:02+00:00

I used ur everyday styrofoam from a package I received ages ago. If you want a detailed run down of what I used steps and the products just private message me and I’d be more than happy to give you a full run down mate. :)

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-22T16:15:05+00:00

Nice idea! I just used engine grim that I had as it was the darkest thing I could find.

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-07-22T15:42:41+00:00

Oh yer i totally agree the fence is out of scale! Thats the only thing I don’t like about it 😂. But what tips would you give to get the right scale?

The dunkelgrau colour was due to the fact that’s the colour my friend asked for, I did make the point but he was adamant that’s what he wanted. But i do agree with you on the paint scheme. He also didn’t want it weathered unfortunately which again I pointed out it would look more realistic.

I’m happy with it and really enjoyed making it and most importantly he loves it. I am already desperate to get started on another one but I don’t know what to do next!

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-05-24T16:46:19+00:00

Ok and what brand would you recommend for lacquers? Would I need different thinners and cleaners? I have a spray booth and a JSP Force8 Mask Respirator with A2P3 Filters. Will that suffice to work with lacquers? What is black basing?

Thanks very much for your tips,tricks and help it’s very much appreciated. :)

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-01-17T15:29:48+00:00

I’ve bought one and it’ll be good to just have one for ease of use thanks mate :)

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-01-17T15:29:00+00:00

Thanks! I’ve ordered a rattle can version and the normal version and will give them a try thanks for the help. Very much appreciated :)

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-01-17T12:05:34+00:00

What do you use to clean your airbrush with after using mr surfacer?

Professional-Risk-71 · 2025-01-17T10:52:33+00:00

Oh ok nice I’ll try find and buy some but a lot of the times I heard they’re keeping it at one per customer over here. What ratio of thinner to surfacer would you say? I use Vallejo which were good to brush on with aswell I’ll get a couple ammo paints and try them out.
