[quote]QUOTE: Originally posted by egmurphy [quote]QUOTE: Robert: I've used Woodland Scenics dry transfers. Take care when using them, or you may transfer more than you want. They're easy to use. I bought a burnisher that's made for dry transfers. Look at your LHS (local hobby shop) for one. A dull pencil will also work.[/quote]Yeah, one of the things you have to watch out for is pressing on other letters while you’re trying to transfer one. It may be easier in HO. I’m using an old golf tee as a burnishing tool, but then again I don’t know what I’m doing. I’ve got two airbrush starter kits, each with a can of air. I’m still intending to try them one day. One was purchased a long time ago and was hidden when I purchased the second one at a show about a year and a half ago. Even though I’m not in the market for a compressor at this time, I do look from time to time when I’m at a Home Depot. I think they’re like electronics. I see smaller and cheaper ones coming out over time. By the time I get up the nerve to try the airbru***he compressors will probably be within my budget and storage space limits. Some of you have said it before, but the Coffee Shop is a nice, easy going place to hang out and chat. Just like Elliot envisioned it when he started it, I guess. That disagreement about compressors was as close as we’ve come to having words that I can remember, yet the people involved defused it rapidly. Seeing how things deteriorate on some of the other forums, I can’t tell you how happy I am that we’re maintaining the level of friendly conversation that we have here. Thanks guys. [/quote] Ed: If you can fit it in somewhere, you might want to consider a larger belt drive compressor, they are quieter and longer lasting, but also a lot more expensive. Can you easily get cans of air and hobby supplies down there? Good point about the way it operates in here, everyone is almost always in a good mood. Robert: I'll look at the burnisher when I get to the city, (hopefully tomorrow) I didn't know they made anything special for that kind of work. When I see how much they want for a cheap little tool, I'll probably end up using the pencil anyway[:D]. See you all later, Greg.
