yeah all I see is red x's

here are my pics I took last night after my purchase:

items:
1. honda civic kit
2. razor blade kit (really nice, 10 different heads and 3 different bodies for xacto knives)
3. locktite super glue, some kind of orange smelling plastic bonding glue (supposed to be really good).
4. 6 brushes
5. tamiya spray cans for body
6. tamiya primer (grey)
7. decent paints (Model Master maybe?)
8. Clear window glue
9. Reverse tension tweezers
10. Tree cutters
11. tamiya clear coat.

 

This one got dropped so Im in the process of fixing it:

and some that I bought:



Yes I know, its a nerd thing but whatever :fawk:

 

sniff sniff, photobucket and work don't mix, I'll look at em when i get home.

 

Try refreshing? I put the pics on another site.

Edit: ahhh ok. I look over your other post when I get back from this meeting.

 

Im reading this so that means I refreshed. And i still see red.

 

Be very careful with that Loctite stuff. That kind of looks like Cyanoacrylate adhesive (CA) which Ive only really used for RC cars. Its great at bonding plastic if you break a part, but I think for models it may cause the plastic to actually become brittle (hard to explain that one h: ) Course that may be some less powerful stuff so Im probably wrong. Its also really good at getting your fingers stuck together h:

 

well I bought 3 glues
1. superglue (loctite) and yes I believe it is a CA
2. some sort of plastic bonding glue that I was told to use only on unpainted parts because it'll eat away paint (I'm using acrylic btw)
3. clear glue for windows.

The way I see it, superglue is going to be the glue I use the most because I would like to paint my parts before I glue them together.. the only exception is if say for the engine block, I put on all the like pieces then paint it as a whole..

Is this the right way to paint/glue?

 

ive been in and out of the hobby for about 8 years now(started at about 10-11). and still havent managed to get things flawless, but its getting better and better after every model car. if you plan on building old school cars, i suggest using bare metal. its perfect for the metal trimings, and gives the car a realistic look.all of the ones pictured i built, i have some more on another shelf but they are dusty as shit!!

 

is there just as much detail as there is in plastic? and are there more or less pieces to glue together.

 

not sure what your asking?
plastic has alot more detail then metal...well from the ones ive seen.
