Is it ironic that I'm the next to post? Probably not. :cwn27:

When you're cleaning your airbrush parts, don't drop the tiny pick-up tube down the drain. My hobby store doesn't carry replacements, so I have to find plastic tubing to match and makle my own. :cry:

Never put/apply your decals near a sink!!!

Watching them wash down the drain is no fun! :zx11pisse

Don't touch clear window parts when you have glue/cement on your fingers (Guess how many kits I screw up doing that??)

Heres one, how about dont leave models where your dog can get to them. I had a nice 1:18? mustang and the dog got to it and tore the nice red hard top off. Also he got to my 57 Chevy! Damn plastic loving dogs.

I once dropped it into bathroom sink hole. But I had chance to recover it while tube not gone too far

Hi Guiddy,
Just seen your tips on not using bulbs or cookers, I use Halfords Rattle cans and find that once touch dry I can put a body 24 hrs on a radiator and hey presto :flash: Fully cured paint works great when using polyester filler too

ALWAYS place the tops back on your paints, or you will come back to a table covered in Tamiya 'Silver Chrome'
