OK LETS START OFF BY SAYING ! " I AM TAKING ON THE TASK OF LETTING THE SECERTS OUT ! IF YOUR WILLING TO LEARN AND TRY THEN IT IS WORTH IT FOR ME TO STEP AWAY FROM THE DESK TO HELP YOU ALL STEP IT A LEVEL IN THE HOBBY !"

OK ! THE FRIST LESSON WE WILL TAKE ON WILL START AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR BUILDS ! AND WE WILL THEN WORK UP TO THE TOP !

PLEASE NO BULLSHIT IN HERE ! ITS EASIER FOR OTHERS TO FOLLOW AND LEARN IF THERE IS NO BULLSHIT IN THE WAY ! SO SHUT UP AND FELLOW !
If you have a statement or question about anything i will be MORE then happy to explain ! That's why i start with the supply list !
AGAIN LET THIS BE FOR ME TO POST UP MY HOW - TO'S SO I MAY HELP OTHERS !
IF THIS GETS TO BECOME ANOTHER SPOT TO FLAME OTHERS OR TO POST UP BULLSHIT I WILL HAVE THE MODS CLOSE IT AND I WILL NOT TRY TO HELP OUT EVER AGAIN !


1 RULE OF THUMB HERE IS THAT YOU NEED THE RIGHT TOOLS FOR THE JOB EVERY TIME YOU BUILD ! </span></span>

I hope you guys are ready cause this time its coming from the heart ! I see to many youngsters talking shit , and to many adults telling other how to build but don't build themselves ! Lets get this hobby and the builders in it to a new level with each kit they build !



Roughly $110.00 to get the best supplies needed on hand to bring your builds to an out standing clean level ! And keep in mind ! I BELIVE YOU SHOULD BE WELL STOCKED AT ALL TIMES ! I buy the most i can for my money and thats how i priced these supplies !

Any Question?

<span style=\'color:purple\'>Next class we will be opening a kit and preping it to be ready to build ! ;)

Quick question to you guys ?


What is common kit that most people will have on hand that we all can grab , open up and build together as it would be easier to help others if when i got to point they were having touble i could do a HOW TO for that curtain item ! Or just any kit will work and you guys can learn from it what i am tring to pull off !

I would have to say almost everyone on here has atleast 1 64 Impala kit.

AMT or REVELL?


If i had a choice i would say REVELL ! More factory detail ! But i have the AMT kit on hand ! I guess i could run out and get the Revell .

Revell.
OK sound like a good idea ! Well let this cycle out for a few days and finialize it after members have chance to gather up supplies ! Kinda hard to get them to build if they are not ready with the supplies they need on hand huh ? :biggrin:

hey mini
I am down with this. I got a 64 impala revell kit,
I was thinking about the brushes if you cant find them in the right size you could
also try artists supplies shops. I would think they would have them.
Yes sir ! But Please look into HOBBY LOBBY and Micheals ! They are always having sales a dn usually have 40% and 50% coupons on line and in the sunday papers !


Here's a link to HOBBY LOBBY ! Check it every week cause they offer an online coupon for differnt items all the time !

# 10 Another great tool to have to building a clean model are SHARPIES !

user posted image

Some times you just need them and the work great !
Most sharpies run a $1.00 each and you can also get them in packs for around $10.00! And Get different sizes ! They we work better !


I hope this detailed list for STARTERS will bring some of you guys up to date and ready for the next step i have plan !




And Silver sharpies are great for small details where you dont want to use BMF or paint.

awsome topic MINI.

also instead of the red and orange sharpies for taillights and blinkers, you can also you turn signal amber and stop light red paint. its got a lil bit of a metallic look to it but looks great. :cool:

Spike the list of items i posted up are to make it as easy and as detailed so the builders having trouble getting a very nice built done can do so and it be done in with in reach !


I would say stick to your most easy method tell you ace it and then go up ! You can always build your stock up when your ready to advance but for the most part we are trying to get builders focused on the Cleanlyness of the build ! We will cover adding the ultimate details later !
