Whats the print like, visible print lines ?

Early delivery here at the Towers.


Following a recent conversation with Dave I've made the step. Big one for me.

The cleaner is as it says, I've plenty of thinners that will suit the primers. Just want to achieve a trouble free primer with no tip drying . The white will be useful when subsequent coats will be lighter, ie figures sprayed from the top .

Some printers ink and new clean thinners for my ACW bust

[Andy T]

A couple of cheap trailers for future ideas



Various metallics and some chrome tape to detail my truck build, plus a stock up on clearcoat & thinner



And since I'm a sucker for shiny tools I've picked this up. Should be much more convenient than my dremel clone for smaller items.



Amazing service and rapid delivery from scale model shop as usual (preaching to the converted...)

I have one. Dremel clone will not be out of work. Lol. Don't expect to use it as a drill..

Doesn't sound promising :smiling5:

A bit miffed that my dspiae drill bits don't even fit into it.

You are better off with a good pin Chuck anyway Andy. It’s easier on both the number of drill bits you use, and on the model. Power tools are best for grinding and cutting plastic, rather than drilling it, unless you are using solid castings.

Spoken like a nan that has not drilled out all the portholes in battleship lol.

I use mine mostly as a grinder with the 'Diamond' grunding bits...Good for thinning out for rust damage too.
