always make sure that the nozzle on the spray can is facing AWAY from your self (god did that suck)
modling when half asleep can be verry dangerous (3 stitches in thumb via exacto blade) supper glue has already been mentioned (too many experences to list ) also all modles should have a warning Caution can be very fustrating!(have ben knowed to pitctch a few very poor quality mobels down the drive way) and for all of you balsawood airplane makers do no replace the rubber band powered purpultion with a rocket engine. (had to remove the balsa wood that was embeded in my nehbors roof.

When painting a body shell, always remember to mask the windows before spraying, or you will finish "what is it that look soo extrange on this car???", and just when your friends see the car, is that you realize what you have done.

Check the can before you buy it! I bought a can of white paint, and not only did it turn out to have no nozzle, but it also is impossible to use any other nozzle with it!!! Not a happy camper!

Here's one that hasn't been mentioned yet - FUTURE FLOOR WAX.
Now, my model mentor (co-worker who's got about 20 years experience) told me about this stuff, and I've used it on one car only with OK results. I had tried using car wax to get a nice shine on the yellow plastic (I can't paint in yellow for some reason, and wanted a yellow Diablo). It worked OK, but left too many white lines in hard to reach areas. So, thats when I used the Future on it, but it didn't stick too well. When I get to that stage on my current car (1995 Impalla ) I'll try again. BTW, thanks for the good tips guys - Merc.

Here is a OT tip. When you are not into a hobby, dont read up on other peoples hobbies. You end up getting hooked.

I was cutting the trunk of a 68 Mustang when the blade went into my left index finger. The tendon was cut and that was a bunch of stiches.
And also if you paint you're headlights white before you glue them in, they wont turn the color of your body, for those that use typical model glue.

Ouch! That had to hurt... A way to avoid having your lights turn colors, use very little glue. Painting the back takes away from the sparklyness you get from the chrome reflectors in there.

Spray in a well vented area.
I was spraying a model one day and the dog was inside. After i finshed the dog started going strange after a while......running around like a headless chicken,barking at anything,rolling around on the ground,running into walls etc....i thought it was having a fit on me !!!! Then i thought.....paint fumes...DOH

Mr Muscle Oven CLeaner removes Tamiya paint like water! Great stuff! Just spray on, then rinse off and the paint goes with it!
Won't attack the plastic or automotive paint, so useful if mixing mediums! |
