My supplies came from Hobby Search today :D

It was my first order from HS and I was amazed how quick it was to get here. I went for SAL because it would be cheaper :o expecting 3 or 4 weeks at least, and yet it arrived only 8 days after ordering. £2.50 for delivery to the UK also seems pretty good.
I've tried out my Gundam Marker on my 350Z's panel lines and you guys are right - it makes life a lot easier and gives great results :cool: Now to play about with the other stuff...

Little tips:
a LITTLE rubbing compound goes a long way. Stuff runs out fast before you realize it.
Make sure you get a good EVEN mixture of the epoxy putty when forming it. I think if you get it uneven, it sometimes takes longer to dry.
The tamiya wax is pretty good stuff, a little goes a long way. Smells nice too :bloated: :bloated:

It's a black one, I think I'll get a grey one when I next order some stuff. Hopefully there'll be some kits in the next order, but I've just bought a house and money is very tight :(
Thanks for the tips Syndicate, I'll bear them in mind. The wax does smell good :bloated:
Not sure what the headlines were in the free paper, but I'm sure there was an article about a little-known company called Ta-mee-ya making record profits due to crazy foreigners buying loads of plastic models. Not sure what that was all about...;)
