Testing 4 New Products For Your Hobby Bench - New Paint Colors And More

[@OldManRogers]

Worth the watch for the masking tape trick alone!

[@DanielGomez-io5bx]

The masking tape trick is genius and the saw would be useful to restore panel lines on fuselage spines after sanding.

[@BrianMcKnight68]

For $20, that Sharpie set is a great deal

[@mcscalemodeling4984]

Yup!

[@nomad5034]

You have an outstanding channel. The reviews and critiques are top notch. I’m just beginning to gather products and kits, you are my go to!

[@barbatosrex9473]

Thank you for the kind words my friend, it's much appreciated

[@jerrypocalypse1180]

That masking tape trick just saved me a ton of stress over some bits in my files that I haven't been able to get out with a brush. Thanks!

[@barbatosrex9473]

You're welcome buddy

[@Sai1523]

For paint markers you should test what you can use to erase them. In a world where you are using these for details it’s important to know what you can use to clean up mistakes

[@d9_1056]

They're acrylic. It's water.

[@Sai1523]

@@d9_1056 Your average acrylic paint doesn't wash off with water after its dried

[@tcj226]

As the other reply says, they're water-based acrylic, just like art markers like Posca. They are not super durable on smooth surfaces so I wouldn't use them anywhere that might get anything rubbing against it.

[@denneygriffiths1037]

Your channel is the best! I am primarily a model railroader in HOn3 and HOn3, but I have built model cars since the first AMT 3in1 kits showed up at my tiny hometown “hardware” store. Your airbrush and paint input is priceless in any hobby! My Sharpie paint markers arrived today via Amazon and I put them right to work painting a 3D printed HO scale border collie. A tiny little guy with great details! I had him airbrush prime black and white waiting. The white Sharpie covered the black just like you said it would! In nothing flat I had a beautiful black and white collie. Just wishing for more colors, but if I have to fill in with some AKs I am still saving a bunch - thanks to you - never would have found them otherwise! Ol’ Shep thanks you too!!

Neat stuff today, the sharpie paint markers look cool. The little saw and their little vise, I think will pull the trigger on. Thanks for the video review Mr. BR.

[@deeennis5641]

Those sharpies are awesome. Brush tip style.

[@theintake8961]

I really appreciate you finding these awesome tools Rex! I've bought so many of the ones you have reviewed and I put these in my wish list! Thanks 😎👍

[@dep3che]

A guy from my local build group recommended the DSPIAE - DC-25 Electrostatic Dust Removal Cloth. I bought one and it works amazing!!

[@yotsie32]

Sharpie Markers are great for touch up work. They dry faster and don't smear as easily as the Chinese acrylic paint makers on Amazon. I have the Dspaie saw for a year or so now. Works great with resin pieces. I also use it to modify undercarriages on car kits. Nice and sharp, very controllable.

[@PB4UG02Bed]

I picked up your new steel color for new the Sinanju Stein (Narrative) I also picked up at Gundam Pros on Sale. So a win win! I'm almost ready to make Sazabi using your steel apple color as well, I'm waiting for a few more parts to come in for the build.

[@Joey-se6lq]

I love your paints! Colors are so beautiful!!

[@lylebriggs923]

Nice gadgets Robert an a nice tool review an I like the green sky paint an thanks for the effort and time you invest

[@vincehatina6987]

That dual color paint is TOOO cool, awesome

[@mikeellis5347]

I like your Green Sky paint. On the white it comes out just a tad lighter then the Caribean Blue that was on my first car, a 1959 Pontiac Starchief 4 dr Sedan. Two tons of American Detroit Steel and Chrome,

[@simonvaughan1270]

Great reviews as always 👍🏻

[@NinjaBonez]

omg. this video is like freakin Deja Vu !!! I SWEAR TO GAWD !! lol i just almost bought those Nano Glass Files last week, but i got some from the "Testing Glass Files" video on like 2yrs ago. i got the ones at the 10:45mark. (you member that video from waaaay back. lol) i was going to get the Dspiae Glass Files - but they were going to take 4 days to deliver, and these were Next Day for like $5 on Amazon. they are freakin wicked !! and i ALMOST got that Dspiae saw blade set - and probably will next week!! - but for now i got the Dspiae Mini Sander for $45 on Amazon. - i absolutely love this thing !!! thank you SO MUCH for all your tool recommendations !!

[@G-WhizsWorkshop]

love dspai and ansai tools, they have some pretty cool sander pens

[@fabonline9389]

I am always impressed with the quality of Dspiae tools. Worth every penny.

[@Gundumb_guy]

Dspaie has been making some REALLY cool stuff that’s actually reasonably priced in my opinion. 16 bucks for that saw is is a fair deal! I would like to pick one up

[@kinezumi]

I’ve been using those files for a while, they work pretty well for nub removal too - they shine the plastic up a bit too much, but since I prefer matte finishes I go over it with a magic eraser anyways and if all goes well you can’t even see the remnants of the nub. It doesn’t squeak with more typical parts either, I think the bigger flat parts like you were testing on are really bad for squeaks. Looking forward to getting the paint, I’ve been liking the ones from Splash, haven’t had an excuse to try the limited ones yet.

[@KGOlderWizer]

The GreenSky is next on the list. Loved the new spoon trick!

[@Ruseman4040]

[@charlesbecker9617]

I'll be check out the sharpie markers. There was a white one I got at office max, a couple months ago. It had the same problem as the one mm Moloto pen has. It let out a blob, right in the middle of the project. If this batch works better, it would be good for doing pin stripes on some of my car models.

[@Thomas-r8w9x]

The Sky Green is very interesting. The markers covered the black surprisingly well. I did not expect it to cover black so well. I must have the saw. IT COSTS TOO MUCH TO WATCH THESE REVIEW VIDEOS. I have good sales resistence for most things but not for hobby related products.

[@dholbert3266]

How is a clear coat over the markers?

[@barbatosrex9473]

Once they're dry you're good to go. You can definitely clear coat over markers

How do the paint markers (both brands) take to Mr Hobby UV Cut topcoats?

[@devinrussell420]

If have been using Artskills Crafter's Closet 2 fl oz (59.1ml) bottles of Acrylic Craft Paint that I have been purchasing from my local Dollar General store for airbrushing all of my current and future plastic model kits;as a cheaper and less caustic alternative to the toxic & caustic solvent based enamels,laquers,acrylic laquer hobby paints & non-toxic water based acrylic hobby paints which is anywhere from $3 to $12 per bottle/jar depending on the color;brand,and jar & bottle size/volume.I pay about $0.80 per bottle and they thin and airbrush quite well using a few drops of distilled water to thin them out and adding a few drops of Impresa Airbrush Flow Improver;and a few drops of Pledge Floor Gloss (Discontinued by the manufacturer) as a safe & non-toxic hardener that prevents the dried acrylic craft paint from chipping & flaking off,and makes it more water resistant and UV/A & UV/B resistant from the sun's rays.I have also bought several 6floz. (177 ml) bottles of RichArt Acryology Premium Acrylic Paint from my local Dollar Tree store for $1.25 each and the colors are all rich & vibrant;and they also thin & airbrush surprisingly well and you get a lot of paint when it comes to airbrushing. I have read the product reviews on Dollar Tree's website;and they do not cover very well when applied by hand with fine artist's paint brushes,but they are perfect for airbrushing,as they do blend & thin very well.ColorShot has also come out with a water based acrylic lineup based on every color of spray paint that is currently available;but at at half the cost of a single rattle can of spray paint,and not toxic & caustic to your health unlike their rattle can spray paint lineup,and it is water based safe,non-toxic odorless acrylic craft paint that is a very rich pigmented acrylic paint which means fewer coats are needed to achieve full opaque coverage.

[@mcscalemodeling4984]

[@joemoore4027]

As far as the saw is concerned how thick are the blades ? Do they cut on the pull stroke or push stroke ? Pushing a thin blade and getting it stuck just causes it to kink like most P/E blades do sooner or later and are no longer useful. DSPIAE's blades are not cheap either.

[@thebeardedguyjefflawless5887]

The stainless steel over that flat piece of black.......take a piece of scotch pad and see if you can get a brushed stainless steel look? That would be sweet
