awesome, thanks for the replys guys im definitely going to get those starter packs!

that paint is worthless. i gave up with it. i got the laquers and they spray so much better, than any other paint ive used including hok, but i got so frustrated with enamels i rebuilt the badger my dad gave me, and im going to attempt to get the hang of the ###### thing this weekend

ya ive noticed, im definitely not doing that again! oh well, no rush on this model so i might as well let it dry and see what i can do with it, if it fails ill soak it in the purple pond and use better paint

thanks for the reply, that was the last thing i wanted to hear tho, and the can was heated up too, not that its starting to settle in its smoothing out, but it definitely in dire need of wet sanding no matter how you look at it, my hobby shops dont carry much variety in paints, is it safe to get it online and have it shipped to me here in arizona where its still up in the hundreds? i dont want to ruin the paint, or have it blow up on me haha

got some ruby red metal flake, shook the hell out of the can the whole day to make sure that it is mixed real well, and that its not going to mess up on me, sprayed down a nice silver metal flake base coat, wanted it to sparkle like crazy, well i spray the red, there is like no metal flake in it at all, and its real rough looking and bumpy like there where chunks in it, never had any problems with hok sprays doing this to me, decided to see how testors worked, and im disapointed, how long does this take to dry so i can wet sand this thing down and hope i can get it to smooth out? only sprayed 2 light, even coats so far... thanks guys

thanks a ton man, thats what im looking for

ive seen alot of killer engines, where do you guys get them from? i could use a few right about now thanks guys, sorry for all the newb questions, i just want to do all this right the first time

that is really cool, the things you can do with that stuff is literally, endless. my local hobby shop only had sheets, so i have to order other stuff online thats why i asked what everyone else uses for there 1/24 and 1/25th models but very cool work man

thanks everyone, this forum is very helpful, and very fast at getting back to me, i appreciate it guys, going to the hobby shop today and stocking up haha

im just getting started into chopping and making custom models now, starting to get much better and was wondering what sizes and shapes of styrene do you guys use? for frame rails, roll cages, sheets for custom interior and scratch chasis making, pretty much everything i will need to do anything for model building, thank you for taking the time to help a fellow model builder also, what do you guys use to cut doors open, and to chop the tops, i cant get steady enough for a dremel

###### that looks awesome, i already messed it up, well kind of, just created alot more work for myself... i cut the frame apart and glued the front part to the firewall to make it how i wanted, and took the rear part and modified it to work, then im scratch building the rest... it would have been much easier your way... thanks for the reply tho looks good

well i decided to do the easiest thing that i could see, and last nite i cut the front of the frame and glued it to the firewall i have to trim the firewall so the transmission can sit flush, and the interiour peice as well, i hope i dont screw up, oh well i can always fix it like you said, thanks for the replies feel free to give me any other pointers as im a newb at chopping and customizing, but not at building

i was wondering if anyone could show me pictures of how they channeled the body of there revell 32 ford 3 window coupe onto the frame, im stuck since ive never tried this and do now want to mess up this model thanks ahead of time
