For those of you who are spaying plastic models with Automotive paints, Can you fill me in on the mixing ratios and what materials you are using? I would like to paint my next project with a House of Colors Candy and I want it to come out correctly. Thank you in advance!

I wanted to kit bash and build my own Bellytank lakester, I found a pair of droop tanks from a 1/24th scale WWII fighter and I had planned on using the front suspension and engine from a 1/25th scale street rod kit. However, when I get the parts side by side, the tanks look way too big. I didnt think there was that much difference between the two scales...Suggestions or Ideas?

They are resin. Rob goes by the screen name checkmate on this board,

A big Thank You to Rob for these beautiful 32 Ford Sedan Delivery bodies. I recieved them last night and can't wait to dig in. But, due to the limited space I have to work, they will have to sit in the queue until my current project is completed( kit bash, scratch build 1/24th scale 40's style Belly Tank salt flat racer). This was a smooth transaction and Rob shipped right away! He even included some cool resin cast bits I can use for other projects down the road! Thanks Mate!

My grand dad told me stories about growing up in northern Maine. he told me they used tracked T's in the logging industry. He also told me they'd put there T in the barn and use it to run a saw mill all winter. Took a tire off, mounted a pulley and ran a belt over to the mill. It's what made them money during the winter.. Good luck with your project and yes, little girls know the strings to pull.......

I asked on you Riv post, what flake are you using and which tip size on your airbrush? Are you using HOK paints?
-
Looks killer! Fill us in on the paint and what flake you used. What size tip do you have in your airbrush? I just bought a Paashe and would like to try a paint job like that...

Hi Charlie, I did grow up in Weymouth and my Mom and Dad still live there. I know about MassCar. I've been to a couple of your shows in the past. Thank you for all the club and show information. Maybe see if I can get away and check it out one day. -

Hi Terry! You caught me! LOL... Tom, It is funny that you mention that. I grew up watching my dad build military aircraft and paint figures (He does a pretty fair job of it now for a guy his age). While I was young, I learned his tricks of the trade.. I guess his extreme patience teaching me back then hasnt been forgotten. -

Go easy on me now. I havent built a car model in over 30 years. I've been busy building real ones. The Car Club that I belong to decided to hold it's first annual club model contest. This will be my entry. I know I have a long way to go but here it is so far. I still have to clear it. I'll be using the DuPont 7480. I'll post more as I go if you fellers like what you see...

Is the K.S. Pittman Willys just a rebox of the Black Stone Woods and Cook offering from the 90's?
