I forgot what the set is called, but it's what I've put in my loose G1 displayed prime-
    That'd be the BTS 03 Matrix of Leadership set
    I purchased mine from RK a while back & have used it on my Classic Reissue OP

    that's the word I was looking for - airbrush, doh hahahah just came up with sprayer instead . I'm not familiar with using an airbrush, though my cousin has been telling me to invest in one and one of those vibrating cutting machine sets - forgot the term again...it comes with different heads you can put on it can be used for sanding as well.. aaaah you know what I mean ....

    Oh no, not that Ravagecat. It's something smaller and handheld but not as bulky as that.... it's often used for custom projects. gaaah can't remember it's name. you attach different heads of sanders which look like giant cutips and then there's different cutting heads you put in it as well....
