What Did You Accomplish Today? (Model Car Work)
Beans replied to Snake45's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Used Rustoleum automotive clear coat over brush painted craft paint, just to see how it would turn out. -
Best clear material for large flat windows?
Beans replied to crowe-t's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I've used clear plastic pencil pouches. You can get them pretty much anywhere that sells office supplies and sometimes they come in different colors. Works great for tinted windows. -
Have a small board like that I use for leatherworking. Never thought about using it on the model desk. Going to have to try it out.

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread

So much detail!! With the outstanding job you did on the weathering you almost overlook all the work that went into opening the doors and trunk, adding the interior door panel and detail under the trunk lid. That alone looks great. Then the weathering just takes it up several notches. I especially like the work on the vinyl top and seats.

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread
Beans replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
Decided at the last minute to change the wheels and tires. Which means redoing the rear suspension. I think I am just avoiding dealing with the little super glue blob I got on the roof. Still not sure how I want to deal with that. I ended up using the SVT cobra rear end (or at least most of it) and exhaust. -
With the price of gas right now, that kit, including the trip, would have cost me about $40

Those are really cool. Just looked at the site and downloaded a couple. You did a great job on them, especially after looking a few over and the very small detail in involved.

Questions About Flocking and Embossing Powder
Beans replied to Noah H.'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ah. Ha! Well that makes sense. Maybe I'll read the little bottle next time. -
Questions About Flocking and Embossing Powder
Beans replied to Noah H.'s topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
The only issue I have with embossing powder is that it tends to have a glossy and sometimes metallic appearance. Maybe putting some dull coat on top might change that...hmmm something to try. -

I will definitely be following this one. I have wanted to build a bike for a while but just haven't. -

Lots of uses I didn't even think of!! Funny that we all have such an abundance of empty med bottles around.

Scribing body lines AFTER a few coats of paint
Beans replied to Hawk312's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Somebody makes a PE sheet of scribing blades that fit into an exacto knife handle. I have them, they work well. I just wish I remembered where I got them. -
Brush painting Tamiya acrylics?
Beans replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I brush paint a lot of interior and detail parts. I actually enjoy the brush painting as it allows me to take my time and relax more with the model. Multiple thin coats is the key. I will sometimes just do one coat a day over several days. It's monotonous but works for me. That being said, I don't brush Tamiya paints. I have tried, didn't like it and only spray them now. -
Is the purpose of the question to determine how to remove them whole and re-use them? I don't see any way they can be removed then re-used.
-
I do the same. Works great.

I use them for paint washes. I'm too cheap to buy panel line paint. I have washes in black, various browns and green for weathering.

The Official EBay Discussion Thread
Beans replied to iamsuperdan's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I get the feeling those selling use shipping as the guaranteed sales price then use the bidding to pay the actual shipping and any over the top profit. -
Scribing body lines AFTER a few coats of paint
Beans replied to Hawk312's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
running some masking tape on either side of the panel line and using a very fine blade may minimize the amount of chipping that happens. That being said, the amount of actual scribing you can achieve will be minimal and may not be worth the extra effort to avoid what will most likely happen anyway. -

It's gotten so that shipping doubles the purchase price.
