   I'm a little envious. Congratulations, Gee Bee. I love the idea of using a clipboard for the instructions.

   That is a really cool diorama and definitely a great way to display that kit. There are great Ferrari 250 kits available now so that AMT kit can be retired (or put out to pasture).

   Chillyb1 added a post in a topic Tamiya TS Clear Question.    15 May

   The TS and AS paints are perfectly compatible; however, be aware that some flat paints are very flat and may take vast quantities of clear to try to make a glossy finish. I experienced this with a Tamiya AS gray (can't remember which one) and TS-13. By the time I realized it just wasn't going to work I'd wasted a lot of paint and nearly a whole can of clear.

   Here are some I've built: 
   
   
   
   I'd advise you to avoid the Gunze Sangyo kit. It is one of a very few kits that I've simply tossed in the trash rather than waste more time, effort, and energy trying to build it into a decent model.

   Wow, that's too cool for words. That's a Heller kit, no?

   I'd use Model Master Metalizer brass with their sealer and/or clear on top.

   A gorgeous color on that  Cougar. Looks like you got a great finish too. Did you shoot straight from the can?

   I recommend that you order from Hobby Link Japan (http://www.hlj.com/) rather than go through Amazon. They usually have the best price and are so reliable and responsive that you can rest assured that yours will be a hassle-free transaction. I received a package from them yesterday, less than two weeks from order and payment! 
   There aren't any sorts of import duties or other customs fees for shipments to the USA.

   A very cool project. I've built the R34 kit from Tamiya in several liveries. I love these cars and the kits. Good luck with it.

    As a guitarist, I'm appalled that you post not even a single photograph of this Tele. You should be ashamed of yourself. How are we supposed to get a vicarious thrill from your purchase without a picture?

    A very cool idea, Chuck. I love stuff like this and your build makes me want to get the kit and do something similar. My favorite aspects of your build: the tires and wheels, and the way we perceive weight distribution. Nice work.

    I want to know more about this. Earlier this year I bought a '50s Classic Player Stratocaster and I love it so much I'm thinking of getting the '60s Classic Player too.

    Such a great color choice. I can't wait to see this thing when it is finished.

    Nice job on a beautiful model. I love the whitewall look.
    What is it about this kit that makes us want to paint it this color? Here's mine:

    I, too, am a big fan of everyday model subjects. Your build makes me want to get the kit.
