  1. Just to be different,this was my attempt all along. I believe it worked out pretty darn good for the first one. Here's hoping it can only get better from here on out?! First attempt at bare metal foil,stripes,fades,flares,etc...etc... What do you think now? Good,bad,ugly? I can take the feedback and use it on the next project. Thank You for stopping by and having a look! Regards to All, Brian
  2. Hi George, AHHA! Now, I do get it! I do confuse very easy sometimes when I dabble in something I have no clue about This is a very first time trying something like this, so I really don't know what I'm doing, just from the seat of my pants, and doing something I thought was different and unique. I do take your advice with great heed and appreciate you being honest. Thank You Very Much. I sent an e-mail off to Jairus to get his honest opinion, NOW I'm skeered to think of what he has to say!
  3. Hi Peter, The detail for body lines and doors and stuff is not there because I DID indeed sand them off the body.(see above pictures) The paint is actually very thin as I used the Parma faskolor for the yellow in an airbrush. The over-all look will still feature a purple strip and some other details. Yes,I would have to agree it does appear to have that new one-piece funny car body look going on Thanks for the reply...
  4. you fellows area tuff crowd to please... does anyone care IF I continue with the posts?
  5. Got a little more accomplished, starting to look like some paint will be going on shortly.
  6. the first ruff draft of the fender flared 57' Chevy, Wadda u think?
  7. Hello All, Thanks so much for the tips, This is what I needed to drudge onward in this project. Here's what I've completed thus far. Poor shape donor car. All body trim lines removed along with reattached lower roof. Body ready for some good bonding filler paint made for plastic. Two light coats applied,covered real well... The elusive,never to be done on this body style fender flares... This is only a sneek peak of what is yet to become something really unique and different!
  8. bump.... sheesh!...somebody has made fender flares in the past..no? Just give me a thread that shows how someone has made them, I'll adapt! PLEASE...
  9. Hi Raul, Thanks for the reply,and YES what you have described as the teardrop shape is what had me puzzled? OK, maybe this is what I needed to ask then... How would you make them from scratch?
  10. Hello All, Would someone be as so kind to point me in the proper direction to adding some custom wheel well flares to a model. This is going to be a slot car drag body, Got some of the modifications already done, thought this would be kinda neat. I've looked thru the tech tips area and was unable to source any info. Thank You! Have a Nice Day!
  11. Hey Randy,just so happens i was reading the board the other day looking for some ideas on the paint stands.I kinda copied your idea,and it works great!.I have only painted one car with it, so it's still early to fully tell. The body didn't like to sit very well just on the wire tips of the coat hanger,so I placed some foam earplugs on the ends. Naturally this ended up costing me nothing but some time to put it together. Thanks for the great idea! Here is my first bare metal foil attempt also: I haven't quit figured out how to wrap it around the front bumpers. My wife is the only one I have to ask during building,she doesn't like the red windows. leave'm or git rid of them? Thanks again for the idea,Randy!
  12. I would tend to believe the hammer would be used for a tinnerman in the hvac trade. :| Nice tip for those going for the full custom look. Thanks for sharing. 8)
  13. Hi everyone, I dug up these old photos and scanned from nearly a forty year old Car Model magazine. From seeing how some of you have done this,not much has really changed. Hope this helps on that next project. Larger views of the same photos in order. http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/e4e45522.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/24513709.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/020e2041.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/11bbb25d.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/b68eecb8.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/02a515f5.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/3e114350.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/feb54f69.jpg http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e253/Slo...er/8ed31016.jpg
