Welcome CSMeekai!

As for your decal sheets, best bet is either NBS as Jeepney says, or better yet JMN at Harrisons which currently sells blank decal sheets for laser printer/photocopier. They cost P250 apiece.

If you want, I can purchase the amount you wish to procure and we do a transfer down south (say, STC Filinvest) during the weekend, preferably on a Saturday. But the transfer will be only after the 23d of March if you can wait that long.

Where in the Southern Front of MM, BTW?

thanks, GIBeregovoy! i found some at NBS as Jeepney said... I'm in the Alabang area. If I didn't find any, STC Filinvest would have been just perfect.

It's because Hobbitio is a branch of STC with a different name. Parehas lang yung laman.

Nagulat ako jan sa langhyang stuffed toy impersonator na yan. On my 2nd time sa Lil's Parksquare nung magbabayad na ako while they were inspecting the contents of the kit I was buying. At first glance akala ko stuffed toy na nasa ibabaw ng counter. Tapos while I was making usyoso while they were inspecting the kit parang gumalaw bigla yung inakala kong stuffed toy from the corner of my eye, nagulat as in.... nagulat talaga ako . Akala ko motorized na stuffed toy.... tapos hinimas ko.... alang hiya! Aso pala! Naisahan ako nung Bantay na yun....

dalawa mga yun... a male and a female yata.... the female is the one that barks her head off at anyone getting near her turf... the display window at the left side where she usually "perches" hehe and there's this other one, the more silent little doggie that doesn't bark much but just might bite if he gets pissed off at anyone getting near the display window. hehehe.

ca'nt remember the names but they are very cute and cuddly.... but they don't seem to get their regular bath. hehehe...

Spectron - for all your electronic supplies, including etching solvent, blank PCBs for custom-made circuit boards, LEDs (alas, only colored), and small bulbs. It is basically a small corner of Raon, Manila at Sucat, Paranaque. From Lopez, it is before Evacom, before the Paranaque Cable / Cablelink office, at the lane going towards Lopez.

Precious Jewelry Store - if you want small drill bits and you don't want to buy a whole set at a model shop, this store has some drill bits, the smallest I found was 1mm. The shop is behind the 7-11 store at end of Alabang-Zapote Road, Alabang market, near the exit to the highway. The sign is colored pink.

For airbrushes, best place to go is National Bookstore or Recto (where I suspect there are other lesser-known, family-run, small hobby shops that are treasure troves like JMN). Tip: at National Bookstore, they sell paint jars with labels "M. Enriquez" or something. That is an art supply store at Recto and I reckon they sell Badger (and maybe Aztek?) airbrushes and accessories.



John,

Have you tried looking for Airbrushes and their parts in Jollie's along Espana (Especially Badger)? It's on the side of UST beside the BPI Expressteller. You may also try Deovir (I think) near the corner of Recto and Quiapo Blvd. It's the one below Access Computer School (malapit doon sa binibilhan ng day-old na chicks and isaw). I saw some units also at Han's Infinite Tools at the 6th level of Shangrila in Crossing, Mandaluyong.

Nope, Ilonggo ini. I was assigned to a project in EPZA, Rosario ,Cavite for about six months way back three years ago & during that time I got to go around that area.
