Nice looking Pontiac Marty.

Welcome to our plastic playground Joseph.

I usually paint down in my basement, and I normally put at least 2, sometimes 3 coats of paint depending on the color. Then I normally put on at least 3 coats of clear to have a good layer of protection when I do the BMF work.

You did a great job John.

I've used Detail Masters detail wire for upholstery piping several times with great success. As Daniel stated above, I used Zap-A-Gap very slowly and carefully, applying it in small amounts using a toothpick.

Nice work Uwe. Welcome to our plastic playground.

Congrats to my friend Rick.

Nice job for your first try. It'll get better, and easier, each time you do it even though it is a bit time consuming.

I am soooooo glad that I was able to order and get everything that I wanted from Modelhaus before they shut down. I still have 2 of their complete kits of 1950's cars ('57 Lincoln & '59 Oldsmobile), and a couple of 1950's conversion pieces ('51 Ford & '52 Chevy) that I have yet to work on. While I definitely wouldn't mind making a huge profit on them by selling them on EBAY, that's not why I bought them. They are going to get built, as long as I live long enough to do it.

Welcome to our plastic playground Chang.

As a lover of all 1950's cars, I use promos and/ or diecasts to fill the "gaps" in the cars that are not kitted...... as follows...

Carl, I am so very sad to hear this news from you. I wish you well and pray for you. Please try to remain a member of our "club" here as you are a valued member my friend.

Yeah...... Just do an EBAY search for "Modelhaus" and see the ridiculous prices this stuff is listed at.

I wholeheartedly agree. Scalecoat takes just about any paint off of plastic, whether it is model kit parts or promos. Just don't use it on resin as it will melt and/or deform it.

You could also try using a piece of clear red sprue.
