Service and supporting products

For the conveince of our web customers we carry a selection of tools, adhesives, paints chalks, and detail parts that are useful and or complementary in the building of our kits. You may already have these items in your own selection of building supply. However if you don't we will try to keep a good supply on hand. Ultimately you should be able to receive your models and get right down to building without having to go hunt down the necessary supporting materials.

The Items we currently carry are as follows:

• #11 Xacto blade with plastic handleand saftey cap. Price, $2.95 - A must have tool for any type of bur or part removal.
• Pt 27 Zap Gel cyanoacrylate adhesive. Price, $1.95 - A slower drying thick alternative to the very thin quick setting Cyanoacrylate adhesives. (Works well with our Laser Engraved wood kits.)
• Micro Krystal Clear. Price, $2.25 - A very thick solution that dries Crystal clear. We use it for wind shields on our vehicles. It works well on most flat wind shields. However it is a more temperamental on the modern windshields that tend to be complex in shape. Crystal clear is very for giving to work with. It cleans up with water but is water proof when dry.
• Micro set solution. Price, $2.25 - Apply as a setting solution to improve water slide decal performance. Improves adhesion . We used this product to improve our results applying decals on Wally's Filling station and the Pfatt boys. We have also used it when we were applying decals on vehicles.
• Micro Sol. Price, $2.25 - Allows decal to become more compliant over the top of irregular surfaces. We have used this product when we have had to apply a decal to an irregular surface. Such as the back doors of our Van bodies, where there is an intersection of body lines door handles and door gaps.

To better serve you in the future we will be adding new items as we learn about them. We will include information about new tools and materials in our Painting & Finishing tips section of the web page. Ultimately I want your experience building Showcase Miniatures kit to be enjoyable. I realize that many of our customers have their own preferences to tools and materials. The tools and finishing products that we use and offer are the ones that performed best for us. For those who are interested in this information and the related products, I will update them from time to time.
