Zona was a big deal in slot car racing and modeling in the 60's, so when I saw they were still being made I jumped on it.I needed a couple of these fine tooth saws for some fine wood and plastic cutting I was doing. I couldn't believe how inexpensive these little saws are, and most incredibly, they are still MADE IN AMERICA! I'm not sure where they make them now, but originally the name came from the fact that they were made in Arizona. You can't go wrong with these little gems. Take care of them and they will last far longer than ANYTHING in their price range.

AGHHH! After many hours of careful design and painting of our Pinewood Derby car, we were ready for the last step. The paint had dried for about two days and we added the clear coat only to find that it caused all the colors to run together. Beautiful job destroyed. Unhappy Scout.

Officially licensed by the Boy Scouts of America. What?s that blinding flash streaking past other pine cars on the track? It?s your Pinewood Derby racer, ablaze with speed AND a spectacular, high-gloss painted finish! The Pinewood Derby Paint and Brush Set has it all ? a large assortment of colors, two easy-to-use brushes, plus something other pine car paint sets don't supply: that all-important final clearcoat, to protect the color and add shine. Use the small brush to apply color coats to the wood car body and any plastic accessories (such as wing, engine, or driver helmet) you want to paint. The paint is non- toxic, water-based and cleans up easily with a wet paper towel. After your base color has dried, pick up the foam brush and top off your masterpiece with clearcoat. You'll look like a champ even before your first race!

REGDAB Airbrush Lubricant 1 oz. Review

REGDAB Airbrush Lubricant 1 oz.
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Got this for a badger renegade velocity and it works great in keeping the parts well lubricated and moving friction free. Works just as good as the more expensive iwata super lube at just about half the price. 1oz will last a long time, as a drop will lube all the parts that need it each time lubrication is required. Will work on all metal airbrushes.
Cons: dropper hole is too big, I end up just using my fingers to avoid getting lubricant everywhere. Not sure what's in this stuff but it kinda smells like corn oil... looks like it too...

I actually use this to finish wooden pens. And the finish turns out great! Produces a durable coat of acrylic over the wood. I wish the tip didn't get as messy though because there is build up that makes it hard to close when I am not using the product.

Mattel Barbie Top Model Doll Review

Mattel Barbie Top Model Doll
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I am glad Barbie has gotten back to her roots as a fashion model . Barbie is a fashion doll and for the first time in quite a while she lives up to her billing. I am tired of short flat chested dumpy, plain and short dolls with sappy pets or phony joe jobs .
This doll is all about glamor! Her platinum hair is long and silky. her pose shouts attitude. Doll has the model muse body which allows her to wear much fuller skirts without looking frumpy. Her eye make-up looks like she just left the MAC counter. The boots she is wearing are remarkable pieces of shoe-making.. these are of a quality usually only found made for Volks or other BJD dolls.. the kind of shoes that usually cost more than this complete doll does! YOU not only get a fabulous doll, but she comes with a second outfit and , for the first time in a while, a good hair brush ! Best of all, Mattel did not sew her hair to
the box back, as they did so many times in the past. with the new see through box, you can see what you are getting.. and with Top Model Barbie you are getting one glamrous doll!

Barbie is ready to hit the runway and show off the latest global fashions as a top model. While we all know Barbie's occupational curiosity has led her down varied paths, this one is perfect for the slender fashionista. She comes wearing a trendy outfit of fishnet stockings, a tiered black miniskirt, a patterned top with a short sleeve shrug, and ankle boots. Her long blond hair is styled sleekly straight and she is carrying an animal print handbag.

While this outfit is certainly catwalk worthy, it's only logical that a working model have multiple wardrobe changes when on the current job--or when attempting to land her next fashion gig. So this Top Model Doll comes with a complete second set of clothing pieces and accessories. There are denim crop pants, a strapless pink top, a black hat, and a pair of black high heel shoes. All of the clothing can be mixed and matched to create an array of looks for the photographers.

And posing for those photographs is much easier now, thanks to this Barbie's ModelMuse body and its 12 articulation points. Being able to move her at the wrists, elbows, knees, hips, and more means her poses are realistic to those of an actual model. However, it should be noted that the foot-tall doll will not actually stand on her own.

When Barbie heads out on go-sees, she can wear her black frame sunglasses, carry her portfolio, and pull her hair back with the included hair bands (making it better for designers to see her fabulous features). Also included is a hairbrush for styling her long tresses and a shoe box to hold the pair she's not currently wearing. Both of these accessories have the bright pink Barbie silhouette logo on them.

Mighty Mini Airbrush w/Compressor Set Review

Mighty Mini Airbrush w/Compressor Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I wanted to try airbrushing but every kit out there costs a fortune! So, even though I don't do model cars, my husband bought this kit for me to try and even see if I liked to airbrush. I was very pleased and have found many uses so far for the airbrushing on my mixed media art pieces. I may upgrade to a more expensive, larger airbrush and compressor some day but for now this one works just fine. The reservoirs are for a small amount of paint and large projects would take all day to completely airbrush so I don't recommend it for those applications. On the other hand, I am a complete beginner and this kit was very easy to just pick up and use. It comes with some acrylic paints but I have used my own water based acrylics in it as well and had no problems as long as they were thin enough. The only reason I took away a star was that sometimes the brush clogs up but I just swipe it with a paper towel and it seems to come unclogged, also, the pieces are tiny and the brush head can be tough to get completely clean. That may be the problem with all airbrushes though, I am not an expert as I said. I would recommend this product for those just trying airbrushing out or for model car builders, probably not for a pro airbrusher.

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Rhino Model Kit Review

Warhammer 40,000 Space Marine Rhino Model Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
...because you're going to be building it a lot!
The Rhino is definitely one of the easier models to assemble in a Space Marine army and for good reason. This model serves as both a Troop Transport Choice and as the Base Template for the Space Marines Predators, Razorbacks, Vindicators, and Whirlwind tanks.
As a result, you're going to be directly/indirectly building A LOT of these guys if you're assembling any kind of sizeable force so you'll definitely acquaint yourself enough with them to assemble them without the instructions after a brief time.
The design lends itself well to a modular layout that is championed by the Space Marines, Sponsoons and gun mods are logically attached to the Rhino Chassis so it really looks like it could be fielded in battle.
The large number of flat smooth surfaces also makes it a great way to learn how to paint tanks. You can practice layering and highlighting much more easily than with say the bulbuous, rivted tanks of the Imperial Guard or the angular, flowing shapes of say, the Eldar.
All in all, a great model, one you'll make the core of your forces if you're doing any kind of mechanization list.

Barbie Fashion Model Collection 1959 Doll Review

Barbie Fashion Model Collection 1959 Doll
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Just got my debut barbie last week and I can't help staring at it from time to time. It is simply gorgeous and it captures the essence of the original 1959 barbie. Simple make up makes it more appealing and classy. The zebra bathing suit is well crafted but I would recommend that you dont touch it coz there are some small beads/particles that comes off.
I have a big issue with the shoes. Just like the 1959 barbie repro (5oth anniversary series), the heel of the right shoe was bent due to the pastic thread that ties it in the foot. The manufacturer should have took extra care when they tied the nylon tread and when placing the doll in the carton box. But overall, this is a must have for all barbie collectors.

Spin Master Sweet Delights Ice Cream Sundae Review

Spin Master Sweet Delights Ice Cream Sundae
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Cute idea that just doesn't work. Moon Sand creations crumble at just a light touch due to the fact that creating with Moon Sand is just like creating with regular beach sand. To make great sand sculptures, the sand cannot be too fine, too damp, or too dry. Even when I gingerly tried to place the molded ice cream sand on top of the molded cone sand, disaster would strike and either one or the other or both would crumble enough to create a need for structual or aesthetic repair. Plus, there is no way to "adhere" the molded ice cream to the molded cone due to the above, so there is the possibility that the ice cream will just fall off the cone due to a kid not paying attention. Maybe Spin Master will experiment with the size of the sand grains and the moisture ratio in order to create an improved Moon Sand. Two pros: the molds are sturdy and Moon Sand is still fun for free play/just foolin' around with.
Addenda two days later:

I looked at the directions for Moon Sand after I wrote the above, thinking that I might have missed something about this stuff (how hard can it be to use, right?). The directions do indeed state that Moon Sand should be squished and squashed before use in order to expand and soften the sand. This method did seem to somewhat work- broad sand sculptures like the ice cream and cone moldings did hold up better, although fine tips and edges still did crumble. Ditto for the molded banana...it broke in some way every time. The cherry molding was O.K.; the tip fell off if it was handled too much- no biggie. Also want to add here that if you are the type of person that is anti-mess, do not buy this stuff. This stuff makes Play-doh "messes" amateur in comparison. I have added one overall star to rating because product use improved during my experiment.
Addenda on 2/22/11: Upped the overall stars by one due to my tot's enjoyment...I have to be fair. After all, Moon Sand was purchased for her, not for me. Cleanup is a breeze when product is used outside.

We purchased this for our boys - ages 5 & 7 for Christmas because they really love the lego products and we got the 500 piece set so that our four children, ages 5,7,9 & 11 could enjoy it together...once they got started - they have done something with it everyday! The instruction books are a great visual tool but the kids have tried lots of things on their own as well. The only item I wish was different was the case - it broke on the first day so we had to put everything in a heavy duty plastic bin so it could handle traveling from one room to another.

Green Stuff is cheap and easy to get you going. All you need is some green stuff, wire for an armature and some basic tools and you are on your way to creating miniatures. It can, however, be a bit tricky to work with when you are trying to do the detail work. It tends to be a bit too sticky and will stick to hands and tools a bit more than I like. But it does hold tool marks and fine details very well. You can create some good detail miniatures with this.

Toys: Construction: Modeling: Build a Medieval Castle Review

Toys: Construction: Modeling: Build a Medieval Castle
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have a builder son, one who has oodles of legos and scads of K'Nex parts spread all over the house. He also loves castles, so I thought this would be an exciting blend of his two great interests. And it could have been, I think, but it needs some additions.
The problem with it was that it takes forever to make enough bricks to actually build with, as there are only a couple of forms in it. I don't have it handy at the moment to tell you know many, but I recall it took forever for it to make a mere few bricks. To create the actual castle on the cover of the product would take days just to make the bricks, let alone to put it together. If you could form 20-30 bricks at a time, this would be a fantastic toy but must kids won't work at it long enough to continue to have enough bricks to actually build the full castle.
The mess factor was not nearly as bad as I anticipated, but then again after about 2 hours and only a very small pile of bricks it was put away and never brought back out. For this particular child, who has the attention span of most adults, that was a surprise and so I rated this toy very low. It has potential, but in the current form I would not buy it again.
