Looking forward to seeing the car this next weekend! Neat idea. That baby is gonna have some miles on her. Hope she makes it through all of her travels without any major problems!
I love the first time you see how the model sets, that perfect stance or when it's done and you can't wipe the smile from your face and you catch yourself literally saying outloud, "That looks bad###!".
AMAZING work John. No doubt, hands down, THE BEST work I've seen on a model car engine ever! They look so real that.......I'm literally at a loss for words. You outdid yourself here. BRAVO!!
I stripped the chrome, primed them with gray primer and then painted them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Now I've just gotta figure out how I'm going to go about chroming the front center caps.
I second this. I have 4 different levels of what my blades go through. They have their separate labeled containers as they pass through their different levels. They are:
1) Brand new. Good for BMFing and photoetch metal parts.
2) After BMFing or using for photoetch. Good for general modeling.
3) After much use and what I feel is dull it then gets used for stuff like rescribing panel lines
4) Garbage
Might as well get as much use out of them as possible!
