Hey Guys, Built in the "one-true-scale," these beautifully finished and loudly painted B-17 formation ships were finished with both Mission and AK Real Colors paints by master modeler Tim Nelson. The techniques Tim used for de-greasing, diluting, and applying these paints are spot-on and resulted hassle-free taping and masking; a lot of taping and masking Thanks Tim!! https://modelpaintsol.com/builds/judas-goats-two-boeing-b-17-assembly-ships

Thanks for the kid words! --J

Hey Jeff, A lot of guys listen to podcasts while they model. I have to say I've found myself doing the same. Let me know if you have any questions after ya listen:) Best, --J

Hey Guys, The Mojo brothers had me on the Mojo Podcast yet again to discuss spraying acrylics in challenging conditions and the basics of decalling. Follow the link below to a list of the topics covered and discussion times. As always, if you have any questions, drop me a line:) https://modelpaintsol.com/news/plastic-model-mojo-podcast-56-the-dr-strangebrush-files-volume-1 Thanks! -John

Hey Guys, Liquitex Flow-Aid and Slow-Dri are two reagents I've used with every acrylic paint I've shot in the last 20 years. Issues common to spraying acrylic paints like like tip-dry, clogging, intermittent spraying, and dry, over-spray are all drastically reduced by the addition of Slow and Flow to your favorite acrylic thinner or acrylic paint mix. After a protracted search I've found a reliable supplier of Liquitex products that allows me to put them on MPS at a reasonable price. Here's a line to an article describing how to use Liquitex Slow and Flow when diluting/spraying acrylic primers, paints, or clear coats: https://modelpaintsol.com/guides/liquitex-flow-and-slow-the-tools-for-taming-acrylic-paints Thanks! --John

Hey Guys, Well, the Mojo Brothers had me on again (some people never learn) to answer a broad range of airbrushing questions that included techniques for Fine-Lining Vallejo (Color Vs Air) and basic compressor tank maintenance. As usual, we had a good time and hopefully provide some basic information that you can use at your workbench. Below is a link to the Podcast as well as a link to a table of Times and Topics that were covered during the discussion. I hope you find it helpful:) Thanks! --John Mojo Podcast: https://modelpaintsol.com/news/plastic-model-mojo-episode-49-revenge-of-strangebrush Table of Times and Topics Covered: https://modelpaintsol.com/news/plastic-model-mojo-episode-49-revenge-of-strangebrush

Hey Guys, I've been looking for a quality airbrush that's good for beginners but won't break the bank. After testing one in my shop, I've added the AK-9000 Basic Line Brush to Model Paint Solutions. This brush is perfect for those new to the sport but is of sufficient quality that it can serve as a great brush for the more experienced looking to shoot primers, clear coats, and metallics. I've also stocked spare parts (needles/nozzles etc) and offer the spares as part of a combo. As with all brushes on MPS, I inspect, lubricate, and bench test each brush before it ships. https://modelpaintsol.com/model-paint/ak-9000-basic-line-double-action-airbrush-w-0-30mm-tip Thanks! --John

Hey Guys, We just got a shipment of the new AK Weathering Pencils Techniques Book and have combined them with our own "Mess-O-Weathering Pencils" (the complete set of 37 pencils) and an all-metal, old-school pencil sharpener to make the MPS Weathering Pencil Combo Yes, we love our combos. Here's a link for more info on the Combo and large format pictures of the techniques book. https://modelpaintsol.com/news/the-mps-ak-weathering-pencil-combo Thanks and Happy Modeling!

You're welcome:)

Agreed! I especially like the finish of the paper; crisp photography without too much glossy shine. I picked up a couple of volumes while at their table in Vegas; couldn't help myself:) Thanks for the comment.

Hey Guys! While at the IPMS Nats in Las Vegas, I ran into the Casemate Publishing boys; nice folks:) One thing led to another and before ya know it, I was walking away with multiple detail books from their Duke Hawkins series. These are awesome books crammed with pics taken with a modeler in mind. First up and one of my faves; the SEPECAT Jaguar. Check out my review with multiple pics from the various detail sections covered in the book: https://modelpaintsol.com/reviews/sepecat-jaguar-detail-book-duke-hawkins-001 Thanks! --John
