Hi fellas ,

i just get back from Multifilla in Balakong.
as mentioned in my thread before this, now they're the official sole distributor for EVERGREEN PLASTICS.
They have almost all of the product range, from tubing, rod, I-beam, sheets.
The price is quite reasonable. A saw a pack of rod and I-beam, cost only RM4 each (set of 4). But i tak sempat to check the sheets price.

and also they're taking K&S metal (alum/brass) tubing in various size.

I hope this might interest scratbuilders and superdetailers.

this is the news from Multifilla brought to you by your favourite moderator. hehe





ps: i'm not affiliated with Multifilla and their family........

Thanks for Boss for highlighting the Evergreen styrene. Actually Kenny told me last month about it that the Towkay called him regarding the new stock of Evergreen products.

I don't think I'll be going there anytime soon but if anyone is going I would also like to kirim. Haven't been scratchbuilding lately but a few 0.5 mm. and 1 mm. sheets are always useful.

Boss why do you need the wet palette if its so expensive. Kalau you pakai acrylics just add water to your paint in an ordinary palette. Cover as close as possible with a aluminium baking sheet and place a styrofoam over it. Put something heavy on top of the styrofoam. I usually stack 4-5 palettes with a styrofoam sandwich and put my Letterman pliers on top.

I manage to keep my mixed acrylics wet for a 3 days depending on how much water you add. You can also add Tamiya thinner tapi it evaporates faster even when covered. Just make sure you stir well on re-use.

Cheaper lah. My palette (6 wells) only 0.60cts. Baking sheet probably 0.02 cts. Total cost not including water 0.62 cts if you don't count the weight.

CK my friend,
actually, my pallet also the same like yours la.... 40sen saje.. i bought the small pallet...and i have about 7-8 of them. i wrap them with alum sheet as well...they also can last but i never mix so much of paints and used tehm for more than 24 hours....
so i just gatal after reading the book la...

i just gatal to have a look at multifilla, to see how much it cost. kalau below rm10 ok la...but for rm75, i rather invest in something else...


and i saw they have also balsa wood...
so many things and again, everthing is expensive

let me named a few

1. empty plastic eyedropper bottle - a little bigger than vallejo bottles, rm5
2. a 1'x2' perspex rm75
3. a set of diamond files rm95
4. paaschee airbursh (single action, bottom feed) rm280
5. flexible hose (just like i got for my dremel) rm380

and macam2 lagi la...

cuma that old man said the evergreeen plastic was tak laku sangat..

and they're closed from this friday until 6th Feb

Guys, as mentioned in the SPM forum, Evergreen goods in Multifilla is expensive compared to buying from the net. When Mr Leong called me, I surveyed the price and I found out the local price is approximately 50% more than I can get from US (which includes shipping). Just a little information I wanted to share with you guys.

Unless you really need styrene urgently, that's a good place to get Evergreen minus the fact it is in Balakong.

er Kenny, i think rm4 for a set of 4 is ok la....

that's a lot more cheper than Plastruct dealer in Ampang which usually sell about 100% to 300% of the MSRP.

RM4 for 4# I-beams is too cheap but I seriously doubt so. Maybe wrong pricinglah! RM4 per I-beam sounds more correct because everything they have is RM15 per bag except for styrene sheets (more than RM15 per bag).

Where did you see this RM4 I-beams? On the Evergreen turnable rack or the fixed racks where the loose stryrene sheets are located, Sil? If it is RM4 for 4# I-beams, I maybe interested in some also.

BTW Sil, thanks for the info on Multifilla present offer.

KEnny i saw them on the fixed racks not onthe turnable rack. at first i'm also curious. Like u say, rm4 per beam is more appropirate for Multifilla....but since i'm running out of time (fool me to sesat almost 1 hr), so i didnt have time to ask "is this real?? hehehe

but i recalled the pack (all of the packs in this racks) are opened...
so maybe rm4 per beam sounds correct la...
forgive me for this...i maybe need to verify before posting........

Sil, everything on the fixed rack are sold per piece. RM4 per piece then. Luckily this clarified otherwise somebody would scream when they are at Multifilla. Actually, I did screamlah when Mr Leong showed me his stock. Immediately the next day after visiting him, I bought Evergreen from webstores.
