MoparDad83 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well decided to get back into models and figured since I'm a huge fan of old and new school Mopars why not start a new collection of Mopars (other collection is my Jeeps). Anyways, don't have pictures yet, need to get a new camera but since I am starting from the beginning again did pick up a few supplies to begin this new hobby... Testors Amazing airbrush set Testors Model building Supply Kit MM Empty Paint storage system Testors quick dry 1oz glue Testors Amazing airbrush paint refill kit Auto detail paint set Spent about 80 bucks or so on supplies on Amazon.com. Still way cheaper then all the offroad parts I have ordered for my Jeeps, lol. Still don't know if I want to airbrush the car or use a spray can. Any suggestions? Anyways, wife and I are getting a new camera so I'll be posting pictures of the progress soon.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMunkie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Seeing as you have an airbrush - use it. But you can get a good result I've found from a few good can coats - being so small you can't really leave transparent spots unless you're trying... lol Can't wait for pics - '70 Challenger is one of my Dream cars. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Be prepared to spend some time with the AB. There's a knack to it (which I haven't mastered). Spray cans are harder to control but there's zero clean up. One of these days I'll get the hang of both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparDad83 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Went up to the local hobby lobby today. Picked some more things up. Mostly small things but did pick paint up. Got Model Master's white primer, Model Master's Sublime Green, which will be the color for the Challenger and Model Master's Lacquer Overcoat Gloss. Now can I use the Lacquer Overcoat Gloss for the clear coat or should I get clear coat. I couldn't find it on the shelf and the wife seemed pretty bored, lol. Pictures will come soon. In the garage primed, waiting for it to dry. Now I know I have a air brush kit coming in tomorrow but I want to practice a bit with it. I might end up picking up another model and trying it out on it. I have to be honest, this stuff is really fun and I'm really excited about getting in deep with this hobby. Kind of like my offroading hobby, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparDad83 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Can anybody help me out with the lacquer overcoat from model masters? That isnt the clear coat I should use, or is it? Any advice would be awesome,thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparDad83 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Oh and just finished the third base color of the sublime green. Looks pretty decent if I do say so myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparDad83 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Clear coat is on and drying. Waiting for UPS to drop of the rest of the paints so I can get started on the rest. I promise to have pictures soon. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparDad83 Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 Starting to look good. Still waiting for the brown truck to stop by so I can start the rest of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
