Triip to the pharmacy
Posted by namrednef on Saturday, June 14, 2008 1:49 PM

 

I finally fllowed Geralds advice about buying sanding sticks at the pharmacy......I manned up and walked the aisle! For less than $10 I came away with 60-odd sanding sticks, both rigid and flexible.....in 6 different grits! Plus a 6oz. bottle of acetone! I am happy!

 

Can't wait to wipe out some rivet detail!Pirate [oX)] J/K.....these things have a million uses!

Upshot: Counterperson (female) reminded me that tomorrow is Father's Day......and not Mother's Day!Laugh [(-D] Serious bizzz

.....Frankie.....I was worried that Katie might have looked in here! I have no defense for what she might add!

Actually.........(oh boy, this ain't good)......I did scope out some nail polish of colors that might be great for certain details.........The stuff didn't look as thick as I expected.

No.....I didn't try any on!Laugh [(-D]

I'm worrying about you guys....

If I ever see toe nail polish marketed towards men in colors like "Gull Grey" and "NATO Black", I'll know the namrednef and Marc's influence has really taken wings

Charles! RFLMAO!!!!!Laugh [(-D]

I rarely go into a pharmacy or hardware store (....or grocery.....or Sears....) and not check for something that might be useful in modeling! Now, of course I have added the cosmetics aisles to the money drain!Cool [8D]

 I always use the pharmacy as a source for supplys. Rubbing alcohol, emery boards, gauze,extc. One new thing that my pharmacist has supplied me with is those plastic kinda hypodermic looking baby medicine dispensers. They kinda look like those hypoxy applicators and I use them for just that. I mix resin and pour it into that and I can shoot it into the mold under pressure reducing the airbubbles and filling all the spaces. Really comes in handy when doing detailed cast of figures and stuff. I have had it shoot back out at me though. All part of the fun.

I actually make my wife go with me down the make up rows. Blush [:I]

Confused [%-)] Did you say maybe pay for it? You are right Your right about waiting for them to decide what they want and asking you which lipstick you like best.Blush [:I] My wife says taking me into a makeup store is just like me taking her to the hobby store so what can I do?
