Hey all –
I’ve been letting my shipments of Millennium Falcon parts stack up over the course of the last year, and since I’ll have the whole thing in hand within another year, I thought this would be a good time to investigate see what kinds of tools/paints/etc everybody else may be using and/or recommend.
I grew up building the old off-the-shelf styrene Star Wars models in the 80s using Testor’s glues and paints, and so this will be the first time I’ve built a model using ABS-friendly glues and paints and whatnot. I’ve been poring over DeAgo videos on Youtube (in particular, Steve Dymzo’s videos for ModelSpace and the Modelmaking Guru’s airbrush tutorials), but I thought I’d check in with the forum to see what paints, glues, airbrush/compressor combos, etc. everybody else is using.
