Parts Box - The Box Itself
Rocking Rodney Rat replied to JordanFordF1's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I wish I was that organized. My parts boxes are model boxes....with parts in them. Most are parts from the model shown on the box art, but I just never know where some parts might be. It's a treasure hunt for that part... -RRR -
How to fix cut pieces from structures
Rocking Rodney Rat replied to Milo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
All parts removed from the sprue, mold lines, sink marks and other blemishes are work over. Light sanding, WASH all parts with hot (out of the tap) water and dish soap, rinse thoroughly and dry (in the dehydrator?). Primer, more sanding and fixing etc id needed and paint. That gives you the best chance of a good looking build, your mileage may vary.... -RRR -
Rust-Oleum Enamel
Rocking Rodney Rat replied to Milo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Don't use Rust-o-leum paints, unless you're worrying about your model rusting. Many prefer Tamiya primer but it's expensive. I use Duplicolor (at your local auto parts store) primer. Look for DAP-1699 near the bar code. It sands real nice. The darker DAP-1700 doesn't sand as well, it will gum up your sandpaper. My $.02 and worth both pennies.... -RRR -
polystyrene glue, recommend
Rocking Rodney Rat replied to fiatboy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
CA gloo and E6000 when I have to nudge a part in to place. That is all.... -RRR -

The wheels are nice, the rest is humble at best. The Revell '32 series are far superior offerings.... -RRR

Yup, fun little bugger. Certainly, lots of possibilities: https://public.fotki.com/jferren/vw-bug-aafa-fuel-altered/9978y07y8.html -RRR

This build was inspired by a Jeff Allison drawing used as the T-shirt art for one of the Billetproof shows a few years ago. -body is from the recent Revell roadster issue (smooth cowl). -frame is from the AMT Phantom Vickie [sic] -engine is from the MPC Ohio George Montgomery (RIP) Malco Gasser Mustang. -other bits and pieces from the parts boxes.
