I propose this: It is an airbrush that can be billed as the Paasche H-R. I forget where I got the idea for the name, but anyway here is the concept: It is an external mix siphon feed that is build backwards so that people can airbrush tan their own faces.

Yes, this thread is getting a little off topic. Some people do not like that.

I hope no one has forgotten about the classic series of airbrush we sell-the Bulge Brush Classic™. I want to remind people of the features. It has holes on the sides to relieve pressure so you can get 1mm away from your airbrush masterpiece to put a "Millionth-of-an-inch™" paint drop. And if you pull the "Super Lube Flue™" handle then the same holes will spray a 240 degree circle of paint 5 feet around for 100% coverage.

Bulge Brush Classic also has the biggest nozzle in the industry, the "Mega-Needle™". You can spray instant Zimmert on a model tank. If you miss the tank and hit the wall with the paint then you have instant stucco for the holes you might have blown in wall with the previous experience of using the patented Bulge Brush Classic "Burst Mode™".

I used the Dremel router last night to punch 5 holes behind the back seat of the Malibu model. I had glued the back seat in and wanted to ventilate the un-dried enamel pant that was closed up inside. Also, I used the smaller router bit a few nights ago to carve out the roof of the Jaguar XJ220 (the Revell-Germany model with a right side driver's seat!). They molded it with a solid roof under the clear roof. That's not how the real car is. I bought this stuff in February, and I'm just now getting to use it for something. I also have the better plunge router attachment. I doubt I'll be using that on models. Maybe I'll use it to carve a notch in my desk so my X-acto will quit rolling around.

haha sounds like a pimp mobile... black car, completely red interior... of course I do remember someone in my family had like a 69 LeSabre or something like that with the same thing...

I built the '69 (the AMT one) when I was 17. It was before I knew how to do white paint on car bodies. I remember thinking, "this is such a nice model, it's too bad I decided to attempt to do it in white". So, I'll have to build that one again some day too.

Here's a new issue: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=2582&item=5919144424 <- that model should be in stores. It's Revell 2183, a '67 Chevelle SS 396

Ebay is the only place I can find 'em. Hobbytown near me only had one box of a '66 Malibu & I bought it. There's a Revell '67 and a Revell '65 Z-16 in there now. I just browse to the "Models, Kits" part of Ebay & do a search for "SS 396". It gives a full page of Chevelles & a couple of Camaros.

Sign - Ditto [#ditto] Yep, been building a model. I got the floor, seats and inside door handles done on the Malibu today. The dash is gonna be some work. I looked at interior pics of original 66 Chevelles, and it turns out I'll be doing a good bit of chrome strips on this interior.

I don't really like the all red interior on the box art, so I'm doing a black & red interior with gray floorboard plus chrome strips. So, there's some red in there but nowhere near as much as the box's all red interior. I'm also adding inner door panel details because this model has none.

Only another week and a half until I can polish the solid black painted body!

That's ok.... I will run to a country with a non-extradition treaty such as Uruguay... (I dated a girl from there once.... ONCE...) and hide out and make my airbrushes with sweat shop labor... then once you can no longer face the incoming tide of cheap, shoddy workmanship, but easily replaced airbrushes, I will force a hostile takeover of your company...

You airbrushes will cease to be known as the revered "Woodtek" brand... they will then be known by such names as "Chip" and "Biff" and "Woody" .. thus fooling the public into believing these are your honest to goodness "All American brushes" ... no one will notice the little sticker on the handle that says "Made in Mauritania" (where the h@ii is Mauritania?????) They will sport an embossed sticker of the american flag proudly displayed on the handles... furthering the patriotic frenzy....

What do you say to THAT... Mr. high payed union labor... Mr. "a days work equals a days pay" .... I envision .98 cents airbrushes flooding the market.,.. EVERYone will own one!!! that and my 300 HP compressor which the airbrush will not operate without!!!!!

<insert maniacal laughter here>


Ok I've had enough to drink tonight,, I need to stop before I break out in a rousing round of "Deutscheland Uberalles"... the airbrush version that is...

yes. these airbrush are only available to the members of the finescale forums.

Tho 9900, may we talk about merging, you can have your own department dedicated to manufacturing compressors, and my department will manufacture airbrush. deal?

also, tho9900, according to clause 18.45829083 you must remain with the NoBs airbrush company until you are dismissed by the boss. that would be me.
however, in accordance to the clause 19.823746 line 28 word 982734, that violates clause 18.45829083 so therefore, you may stay in the company, and build compressors.
