'Blue Bird' 1935 1:18 scale
Shardik replied to FURBALL's topic in WIP: Other Racing: Road Racing, Land Speed Racers
You've gotten several very good recommendations for a next build, but for pure sex-appeal, I'd love to see the infamous Red Head in scale. -
Revell '76 chevy pickup sport
Shardik replied to Jared Roach's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
That is just stunning. Flawless paint, cleanly built and nice detail work. Nothing over the top, just everything done right. -

And don't forget; soil preparation is vitally important when planting turnips. -
In the late 40's - early 50's, my Father and Uncle had a duct cleaning business for which they used a '41 Chevy panel truck. I would very much like to replicate this truck. My current plan is to graft the back end of the Galaxie '48 sedan delivery body onto the Revell '41 Chevy cab, but this is going to require a great deal of modification, which may be beyond my capabilities. My question is whether there is a more suitable donor for the cargo section.

Faster...Faster...Faster would be better. Sure woulda been nice to have some grenades about now.

Also, the "AS" paints are more of a semi-gloss, but can be polished to a respectable shine which, to my eye, looks more realistic for a stock automotive finish than the ultra-high-gloss finishes that many try to achieve.

It looks like an aluminum heat-sink from some old defunct piece of audio equipment.- 31 replies

School me on "Metal" finishes

In the Alclad line, I mix Steel and Stainless steel in equal parts for a convincing galvanized steel for stock exhausts and mufflers. -
Coloring the instruction sheet
Shardik replied to Nick Notarangelo's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've never done this for body color or graphics, but I will often go through the instructions and color code all the parts that get a particular paint treatment, such as; all steel parts, all aluminum parts etc... This helps ensure that I don't have to go back and set the airbrush back up for that color. -
73' BMW 2002 TII with BBS Motorsport E76 wheels [1/24 Hasegawa]
Shardik replied to e30lover's topic in Model Cars
Spot on! My father had one of these (in the same color) for a while, and it was a blast to drive. Thank you for detailing your painting procedure: I now have hopes of getting closer to a quality paint job. -
Also a man of surprising depth. He and I corresponded for a while on the subject of political philosophy, of all things.
