How Too's

Posted by Dubau on Sunday, May 28, 2006 6:21 PM

Hi all. some of you liked this idea on the How Too's and I was asked to get them all in this 1st post so y'll would not have to look around here to find something. So I am listing everything here and if somethings added I will edit it and put it here in front.

I hope this helps y'll as it does me.

This one's from Dave23

" Picked up this neat paint stand idea over on the Hyperscale forum. Quick, cheap and functional! I made mine to short, will redo it so I can fully rotate the model. Would also work great when applying decals and other detail work. "

I will add more to this 1st post when I get more. ENJOY Big Smile [:D]

Have a GREAT day all

Here's another tutorial section I find interesting - ScaleWiki

There's a tutorial there discussing how I use my Mequiar's Scratch X, not by me, so I'm not the only one LOL. Smile [:)]

Me think's this topic is worthy of becoming a sticky. Wink [;)]

Come on guys, keep them how-to's rolling in!

You are welcome Bud Wink [;)]

How about one more, although not directly related to modeling. I think with some interpretation it might prove useful.

Dupli-Color FAQs regarding paints & painting

Some neat how-too tips explaining enamel and lacquer paints.
How too prep & clean, primer coats, when to 2nd coat, what paint can be sprayed over what paint, etc...

Bud,

I think this is a great idea. Any chance you can edit your first post and include all the links in one post? I would say that would just about get it stickied for sure.

Great Idea!

Things could be worse. Suppose your errors were counted and published every day, like those of a baseball player. Life will always throw you curves, just keep fouling them off... the right pitch will come, but when it does, be prepared to run the bases.
