not to sure about spray cans but i do know that laquers shouldnt be sprayed over enamal because it sometimes causes the enamal paint to lift. i do automotive paintwork and laquar is a hotter paint than enamal. i repainted a couple of models that had been sitting around for a while already painted and decided to spray them with a laquar paint when i did the enamal had a reaction with the laquar and started to lift. but like i said im not to sure about spraycans.

i think 62rebel is right, sounds as though the metallic flakes were popping out of the binder. i wouldnt scrape the body just yet, first i soak the body in castrol superclean for a few hours, then take an old toothbrush and scrub the body throughly. ive used superclean for stripping models for years now and havent had a problem yet. it doesnt hurt the plastic and leaves all the body details. make sure to wear gloves and safty glasses.

need to know of any ways to seperate resin parts after being glued with superglue.

thanks for the ideas guys. i have a friend who is an architect thats uses styrene for his model homes. and said he could help when i was ready. now all i need are some ideas for garage setups. thanks again

thanks for the info barbo. i was at the hobby store after i wrote this, and i noticed that the styrene that i have been buying comes in different patterns like v-groove siding and all kinds of rods and tubing. it says for architectural and military so i was wondering could that stuff be used?

ok heres the deal, i keep seeing photos of models in scale garages and i think thats great, so great in fact i to would like to put together a garage display that i could to take photos of my cars. but heres the delima, i know nothing about how or where to start in the construction of said garage and would like some help or ideas of how to persue and construct a scale building.

ok just posted some pics of my current project and the pics are alittle big, what is the best size for posted pics?

here are a few pics of my current project. lots of mods and scratchbuilding

my name is james and i just joined the forum, wanted to say hi to everyone. been lurking around for awhile before i joined and kinda noticed something, which brings me to the question. does the majority of the people on this sight only build hot rods and muscle cars? i build a vast selection of cars and trucks, muscle, hotrod, lowriders, trucks, and tuners. right now im building an acura rsx and i havent noticed alot of tuners on this sight. kinda looking for new ideas for mods. just a question really love the sight. once again hi to all.
