Diliman's College of Architecture Building. Topic would be airbrushing. Or visit out web site at www.geocities.com/ipms_manila for more info. Thanks. Let us all just build our models happily, it works. Uy! Airbrush lessons? Pwede ba ako maki sit-in? I hope it's alright.... I'm just a newbie airbrusher and any tips, pointers, and techniques I can take I believe will develop my skill further. Oki lang ba (mag sit-in) despite me hailing from another club?

Fishballs and liquid cement, Kare-kare and gloss yellow, Chicharon and flat clear! LOL! QUOTE: Originally posted by cbrain No wonder we filipino modelers get quite large specially at the belly area. Right shrikes? ahehehe. Yeah, yeah... right now i'm thinking i'd make a great policeman!! Hey, it's not my fault that i enjoy food! QUOTE: Originally posted by cbrain Man! I'm starting to crave for the fish and squidballs already. When's the next meeting? Tell me about it. I have been to U.P. TWICE for isaw and fishballs since the last meeting. QUOTE: Originally posted by LoRdToRqUeMaDa Hey shrikes, where in QC are you ? I'm from Cubao, I'm into WWII Bombers too but I include modern and sci-fi. Mostly I'm into 1/72nd scale German aircraft, I also build German armor in 1/35 and German ships in any scale but much prefer 1/350 scale. I'm a new member of IPMS-Manila. I'm from the Katipunan Area. It's great to finally meet someone else who loves bombers! As was said in "Flight of the Intruder": "Fighter pilots make movies, bomber pilots make history!" I focus more on Allied A/C, though. I'm too chicken to start on a splinter camo! Maybe one day when i get an airbrush, I'll do an He-111! or maybe a Fw-200! Gotta love those multi-engined A/C! QUOTE: Originally posted by allan Shrikes, Yes, the topic always degenerates to food doesnt it? LOL. Maybe its because we have some of the best food right here in the country. Hows the Sabre coming along? The Sabre is just sitting here... I'm waiting for more of the decals from Tony. I'm kinda hoping that It'll arrive soon, so i can seal the decals with some clear spray! QUOTE: Originally posted by ReggieFrancia UY! andito lang pala ito eh. Hi! I'm new here too and a newbie in modeling compared to you guys. Thats why most of my post are in the airbrush and compressor section. Firstly, Welcome to the Forums, ReggieFrancia! what is it you like to build? And at least you have an airbrush... I'm stuck using the good 'ole bristle thing. QUOTE: Originally posted by lgjavier hi, newbie rin here san fsm... just like cbrain... been building kits since late 80's, kaya lang i stopped dahil sa studies and work at the same time... and hindi ganoon ka detail ang modelling.... pero, happy to say that i'm back in this hobby... and got lots of friends and fellow modellers who help me a lot... THANKS to IPMS-P-BAC (www.ipmsphilippines.com)... it's me "Halo".... GOD bless guys! and gals! :) Hey! Halo joins the party! Welcome to the forums, Halo!

I know the dealer here in Manila is in Binondo somewhere. I think T. Alonzo to be exact. Let's ask Ben... BEN!!! Do you know where the exact location is? By the way, why IWATA? Are you going to do some heavy-duty brushing? IWATA and Paasche are notably airbrushes for industrial use... Badger only comes second to them in durability. They are wuite expensive though.

QUOTE: Originally posted by Dwight Ta-ala It is very good to hear that more ladies are getting into the hobby. My 6 year old daughter has already ask me if I can buy her a model kit that she can build. I think I'll get her a car kit or something. Good luck ladies...

QUOTE: Originally posted by sigman Thanks for the effort smvillalon. I also have a badger 155 and tamiya spraywork. How bout you, what are you using?

QUOTE: Originally posted by smvillalon QUOTE: Originally posted by sigman Thanks for the effort smvillalon. I also have a badger 155 and tamiya spraywork. How bout you, what are you using? No problem... I use a Badger 150. It's quite versatile but I've tried the Crscendo 175 of Badger... That's a really robust airbrush. Compact, light, very durable and the parts are cheap and readily available. Jun

Just in case I may need some replacements in the future.

The first is Han's Infinite Tools at the 6th level of Shangrila EDSA. The other one is of course Jolli's along Espana across UST from Gov. Forbes. The third one is a place called Deovir near the corner of Quezon Blvd. and Recto. There are several other shops in Binondo such as Panda Construction in Dasmarinas though I've never been there but LoRdToRqUeMaDa (este Rico pala) says the parts are really cheap. Jun
