Chi-Town Hustler Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Awesome work Charlie....Ride stance and height are so important on a drag car and you have this one nailed....Can't wait to see her all dressed up!! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 WOW, beautiful in every aspect. can't say enough about how great this looks. I also wanted to comment on the 'clear' comment you made. I have been using Model Master ultra gloss lacquer [28139], I find it sprays/flows quite nice, here is an example [one coat and un sanded/polished] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Tech Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks guys, It's real close and should be done very, very soon Thanks Tom for the pic. That does look great for unsanded/polished and for a Lac. at that. All the Lac. I've shot always had a slight surface ripple ala orange peel etc. Was it shot with airbrush or rattle can? I only use cans as I hate the set-up/clean-up of a brush lol.... Just wondering, have you tried Testors One Coat clear Lac. ?, I've heard good things but have no direct experience with it yet.

tbill Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Charlie, that's all rattle can. I like it way better than the enamel clear, just seems to flow better and lay flatter [in my experience anyway]. I started with the 'normal' lacquer clear, then tried this. as I say, I like this much better so far. I'm still fairly 'new' to painting, but have had good results with the 'close and quick' technique, if that makes sense. hope this helps in some way, tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Tech Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Thanks Tom for the further info! If it flows better than the enamel I'm going to give it a go. Yes it make sense "close and quick" I use the same technique I think you have more control of the spraying operation.

Jade043 Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Awesome build looks sweet as! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gipper Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Yes , I agree this is a very clean build. You applied a little more then basic detailing to render a good example clean building techniques and proved it doesn't take an abundance of photo etch & machined parts to have a awesome looking model. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoatGuy Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Great results Charlie. What's next on the table? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pro Tech Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Thanks guys! appreciate it. Dave, I have started mocking up the same kit (Johan Mustang F/C) for the "Brutus" car but I've been so busy with the business lately (just finished spooling 1600 packs of braided line ) that I haven't touched it for about a month now. I will post it when I get it all mocked up. Later, Charlie Pro Tech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
