My advice to you would be to use a good brand of paint. Most enamels are good for hand brushing. If you could find the Pactra-Tamiya variety, their the best. Testors Model master, Tamiya and Humbrol are also good. Academy enamels are a varied bunch. Some especially the green and grays are quite good. Others,mostly the pastels and glossies, are crap. For acrylics, Vallejo Acrylicos are good. Tamiya is a bit thick in consistency. Though I haven't tried them, Poly-S paints have a reputation in the U.S. as the best acrylic there is. Hand brushing Lacquers takes a lot of practice. Mix the paint with Mr. retarder to help even out the brush marks. Also brush only in one direction. This applies to all types/brand of paint.

                        Sigman,

                        Actually, all shops here in the Metro has something to offer. Shops like Lil's Mega Mall, Special Toys (at Festival Mall, SM City, SM Novaliches, Ali Mall, Sta. Cruz, Greenhills, etc.), Hobbies and Comics (at Makati Cinema Square), JMN at Harrizon Plaza, have models that you might find in one but not in the other. Their service is great and they are all worth your time visiting.

                        Shop hopping can be as fun as modeling itself!

                        President? No Emjaetee. Just a humble Chapter Contact and Treasurer. Actually, all of us in the club is proud of Mang Ben.

                        ayk! Sayang. I've never been called 'sir' by a lawyer/engineer/architect before. Hi emjaetee. Big Smile [:D]

                        Hi Reggie, how's sunny California, have made your mind to stay there or your coming back to Meycauayan and IPMS Manila

                        Ben Borja

                        Sadly i'm staying here for good. I miss Meycauayan terribly! I'm studying now for my board exam and ofcourse building models. I recently bought (finally!) a mini compressor. It's an Iwata Smart jet. It's smart alright turns itself off when i'm not airbrushing.

                        Mang Ben any new recruits from our home town?

                        Rico do you do models full time? What was that site again that has your models?

                        Mang Noel, can you change my membership status just like mr. lucban? I'll be missing most of the meets from now on kasi.Disapprove [V] But i'll be going back there maybe this October for some unfinished business.

                        Mang Art how's the baby?

                        Mang Abet how' it going?

                        Ah guys i remembered when we first met last March somebody asked me if I knew a certain Mr. Francia but i don't remeber his name.

                        Reggie,

                        You made me way to old! Hahaha. Noel will be fine. We will convert you to Off-site status. I will email you.

                        oops!!! Sorry about that.

                        Reggie,

                        I used to build full time, Mondays to Saturdays. Now, other priorities have crept in and Saturdays is the only day that I can make models uninterrupted. I have a huge backlog of models to build which is why I'm looking for an assistant to help me out.. I'll e-mail you the website.

                        Good luck on your board exam. Give them hell!!

                        emjaetee,

                        It's just me, you can still call the others "sir", I think they deserve/have a right to it ( as a sign of respect and not of old age ). If you can't make it on Sunday, maybe on our next monthly meet and you could probably join our merry band.

                        Rico,

                        I used to build models for collectors. Ships particularly. But I don't know. I am a little sentimental. When I build, I put my heart in it. And seeing it go...Argh...even the cash won't be enough at times.

                        Yes, the returns in building models is rewarding. Like my friend from IPMS South Manila used to say..."Its a mind game".

                        Emjaetee, you dont even have to call me sir. Like I said, Noel is fine (as for Rico as well). Respect is a two way traffic. First names are respectful enough for me. Hehehe
