hi cosmo greetings from the philippines! just some tips on where to get kits. here's a list of places to check out when you get here:

*Lil's hobby shop in SM MegaMall and Makati Park Square 2
*Special Toys Center in Greenhills Virra Mall, Alabang Festival Mall and SM North Edsa
*Hobby shop in Harrison Plaza (sorry forgot the name)
*Hobby shop in Makati Cinema Square (sorry forgot the name again)

That's pretty much where I get most of my kits. If you're looking for mainly tamiya kits then Lil's is the place to go. HTH!

Dont use putty alone its not strong enough. Use styrene to build up the main structure then use putty to fill and shape.

aawww...too bad cozmo is on vacation. i was wondering how he got the vents to be so round! I have a hard time carving some of the putty into an arc or round shape. Anyone has clues?? thanks!

Try either small emery boards or a small modeler's file. they're usually small and strong enough to help you get the shape you want

Maybe I'm dumb or one of many with the same question, but is asking, what is emery board and where do ya get it? If ya could possibly post a pic or a link to somewhere with a pic it be most help also. Thanks!

They're like sandpaper fingernail files.

Needle files are what you need. A round and half-round types will be enough for most tasks. Try to avoid buying the cheap sets as they are quite coarse.

Styrene is what most model kits are made of.
It is plastic useally white. It can be bought at hobby stores, it comes in sheets (flat) and round solid tube sizes. I believe you can get squere shapes too.

You can get it at good hobby stores.
Sorry I don't know any good online stores.
