I hope this isn't too technical....right.
I'm looking for a little spinny thingy, you know goes round and round...A long time ago, Ninetalis (I think) posted a little video of a British gent who modeled, judged, etd. At the end of it He had a little device that he would mount wheels on to paint them. it would go a spinning and he would just hold the brush. Anyone have any ideas?
By the way, the paint shaker device works wonders on paint that isn't dried up.

Re: Looking For Something
Lyle, how about using a ball bearing, or a computer fan? Thiose are usually running smooth, and it should be possible to mount a road wheel to them. Maybe using BluTac?
Re: Looking For Something
Anything is possible I suppose. I thought of a clock mechanism - the kind you can get at a craft store. No one seems to have smooth movements. They all "tick" the seconds off. It doesn't need to spin very fast. I paint slowly.

Re: Looking For Something
How about the little battery powered electric motors that come in some kits? Tamiya makes some for some armor or ship kits to drive them.

Re: Looking For Something
also has possibilities. ordered smooth, continuous clock movement today. Not sure that one rpm is enough.

Re: Looking For Something
This is a model kit I've been looking for ages. A fun kit going back in the 70s but I'd love to do one again. I've looked everywhere, even eBay. Nada, Ziltch...
The only place I found it is at Model Car Roundup website for.... $119 ?!?! Nope.

I've never seen that kit. It looks cool.

Re: Looking For Something
The bike shown on the box reminds me this one could have been issued by Revell Germany way back, too.
Just had a look for it on ScaleMates: it isn´t even listed! So, seems to be VERY rare!

Re: Looking For Something
I’ve done something like that.
