The Idiot's Guide to Airbrushing for Newbs

Edit: I modified my endorsement of cordless airbrushes. I'm the idiot in question. :) This is my hard-earned airbrush advice for newbs. I suck at anything requiring a delicate hand. I always have. I can build practically anything but it won’t look like what a true craftsman can produce. That’s my l...

Re: mc laren mp 4/6scale 1/12

I was thinking that maybe I'm ready to start tackling mine but after seeing your work the answer is "Nope! Not yet." :)

No more Williams at Williams F1

The team has been poor for too long and change was inevitable but it is still sad to hear that Claire and Frank Williams are departing the Board of Directors following the Italian GP.

Re: Any contact with Gravity Colors USA lately?

I received my order from Gravity USA today along with a coupon for a free bottle of paint and some pipettes. They (or he, I don't know if it is a one-man shop or not) took my suggestion to make the backlog notice more noticeable and they/he added it to the email receipt. Your mileage may vary. I'll ...

Re: Any contact with Gravity Colors USA lately?

To be completely fair their Support page does clearly state that they are experiencing COVID-19 delays and that phone communication is best (but to expect to leave a message). In my official response to the PayPal case I suggested that they provide those disclaimers in their emailed receipts. All ot...

Re: Any contact with Gravity Colors USA lately?

So... I ordered the back-ordered Zero paint from HobbyWorld. I ordered the paint from Splash. I filed a complaint with PayPal about the Gravity order. A few minutes after I filed the PayPal grievance I got a response from Gravity as well as a shipping notice. The response said they have thousands of...

Thanks for the PayPal tip. I'll give them until the end of the day to respond to the email then file the dispute.

Re: Any contact with Gravity Colors USA lately?

Thanks, that answers my question. I was looking for the Bentley Speed 8 Le Mans Green color for the recent MFH kit and they claimed to have it. Scale Finishes doesn't carry it and it is on back order at Hobbyworld USA (I assume because of shipping delays). I'll chalk up the Gravity experience as a l...
