  1. [ have done the same thing using a piece of styafoam as the base.
  2. You can pick up 2 of the squares at Harbor Freight cheap with the coupons.
  3. I use the Gorilla super glue a lot. Prefer the twin pack set at Lowes or Home Depot. It has more working time than the other super glues I have used in the past. I usually use a tooth pick for application as a little works quite well.
  4. I put 3 or 4 bb's in the jar when using metallic's pearls and alclad just a quick swirl and everything stays mixed.
  5. I am in Long Beach just over the bridge from Cypress. I don't know how to pm so let me know if you want to meet.
  6. Pick up a copy of the new issue of Scale Auto. There is a how to by Ron Ramsay on making headers out of solder.
  7. I use the pin method for both mirrors and door handles.
  8. A great example is the e-mail I got from Auto World yesterday. 25% off all Lindberg kits, I checked out the 37 Ford roadster. List was $39.95 25% off is still $30.00.
  9. Just don't use brake fluid on a resin body as will turn to rubber.
  10. Model Car Garage has a very nice blower drive set up with cogged belt.
  11. I have found that on plastic the buffing metalizer aluminum plate works best shot over bare plastic for the best results after buffing. Priming first gives a differ effect. For some reason it does not work the same on bare resin parts.
