What yo mean? That's an impressive, and tidy layout. Wish I still had a dedicated modelling room. Are those the Model Master paints BTW? And what capacity are they?
 
2.75oz

They are great size, but they do tend to accumulate paint on the rim of the jar and make the lid rather difficult to open after they have dried. Crappy design actually. I still love my Testors 1/2oz jars. Just too damn expensive to purchase for bulk paints.

All of these companies should be ashamed of their prices. Frickin' ridiculous.
 
Ok. Here some of my tools.

Some very nice equipment there Wojtek, and obviously well cared for. I notice you have some of the plastic measuring cups like mine - I got some from the nurse when I was in hospital last year - very useful for measuring paint and thinners. I also noticed the Tamiya masking tape refill - they aren't available here, I can only get the tape in the dispenser, which, apart from costing more, is a waste of the dispenser when it's empty!
BTW, do you know anything about the Aztec system of three different nozzles on some of their airbrushes? I know the make, as they used to supply them when I was with Kodak, with the Kodak badge on them, and they were quite expensive, and considered up-market about 20 years ago. But I don't know about interchangeable nozzles. I have seen a Aztec at a very good price which has this feature. If it has a fine-line capability, I might get one, as the 'brushes I use at the moment only go down to about 3 mm.
This particular one has a metal chamber, but the plastic body, and is single action. But, for the price being asked, I don't mind. I have also seen another brush, very like an Iwata, but not a cheap copy, that is on offer at half price - £30 - and has a 0.3mm nozzle, which I think would give a fine line about 1mm to 1.5mm wide. This is a gravity feed, dual action, so more control, but realtively small paint volume.
 
THX Terry. I think the Aztec nozzle system is similar to the Russinan airbrush I have had.There are three nozzles in the set.If I need to exchange the current one I have to unscrew it and then screw on the new one
 
Very nice Wurger. Where did you get your razor saw? I've been getting along with jeweler saws, but need a good razor saw that is not to thick. Xacto makes some, but the blade is much to thick for 1/72nd.
 
The razor-saw I bought in a hobby shop in Bydgoszcz,This is a Czech invention.Trumpeter offers a razor-saw with three saws of different shape, similar to that is offered by Olfa.The firm offers some saws that can be used with a standard scalpel-razor handle.
 
Found an anniversary kit that includes a saw, three blades and spacers (shims) for making parallel cuts in stock. And it all comes in a box for $22USD. Mine all mine!
