Cutting Sheet Stock Accurately & Easy
customline replied to redneckrigger's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
As old as those cutters are, there's lots of DNA on them ? -
That's the one I have. Got it on clearance somewhere. I know it's historic but it's way too long. Won't fit in a regular display box. Good for parts though ?

Keep some band-aids handy. I have a box of band-aids within my reach at all times ? -

I would have been quite disappointed with the Daytona. I have one already that I don't want to build ? but I could sell the box on Ebay for hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars!?

LMFAO?

They have that disclaimer on the '53 Stude in a tin box. How many choices do they have on that one? I was going to order it but then I saw the "note" down below the description so I started looking around and ordered another '29 roadster ?

How do you prep for a flame mask job?
customline replied to customline's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I'm not good enough with my airbrush to be able to do realistic flame art. It's a nice look; unusual but gaining popularity among 1:1 custom painters. I like it but It's not traditional (yet) . This 1:1 below is awesome but not a possibility for my limited abilities. There's probably a tutorial on it.

Great! I ordered a kit last week.?

Does anyone here have any experience with AK rust or weathering pencils? I saw a cool video on YouTube demonstrating the versatility of these things. Just wondering if they're worth messing with.

I have an abundance of fenders to practice on and I plan to put some minor dents in my next build, the '41 Chevy pickup. I'm psyched! ? Thanks, Mark!

Thank you for the compliment and the link. Im going there now!

Yes, without modifications this body style has a nice overall look of moving forward, it says "fast". Chrysler rolled out "the forward look", as they called it, in '54 but they were playing catch- up. I have always had a feeling of familiarity for the ford's of the early '50s. The first car in my life was a '51 and it was still new when I was born. This is the second of 3 kits. The next one will be O O B stock because in my mind the Crestline Victoria hardtop is a classic.

The tractor is incredibly realistic. The dents on the '40 are completely believable ( how was it done?) This is so realistic I think it would fool a lot of people.

Well, ya did...punk! ☺️...no, really, great name !

Dirty Harry? Really? Thanks for the interest!

The paint mixer is genius, Mark, and I've got an old sabre-saw thats just sitting in my truck rusting quietly. Yeah, the iron stuff can be like concrete after sitting a few hours. I do all that you mentioned with it but I'll be doing a rust project soon so I'll be doing plenty of experiments. I'll look for that IH thread, that's gotta be interesting ? I looked at a lot of YouTube videos yesterday and there are many interesting techniques to try.

Yup, everything they said, I agree. ? beautiful, clean, well detailed.
-
Cutting them out is no picnic either ? I use surgical blades for this and for foiling. I keep bandaids close by. ☺️

Ready for painting. And a warm day ?.

Don't be so modest ? -
Today's work involved some body work on the nose and RF fender and fastening the nose hinge to the frame. Not much but better than nothing

How do you prep for a flame mask job?
customline replied to customline's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I hate painting black. I do it, but it never looks good. There is hope - I have used Alclad II for chrome on bumpers and such and the black base for chrome looks great. I'm considering using it for a whole paint job. I think on micro- polished bare plastic ( or with Tamiya fine surface primer on that,) and finishing with the black base, I might just get what I want. Your thoughts? -

I get the impression you really like that Revell kit. ? I just ordered another one. It could be better but so could I ?. I think I might try my Createx if it hasn't dried up yet. Thanks for your enthusiastic help. You have quite a talent, Jim. -
Thanks, Rusty, I appreciate your interest. It's going slow because I keep dropping stuff on the floor but I will get there. I have 2 other cars I'm working on. One is almost ready for paint ,the other one is close to being deemed "FINISHED". My next project will be a "rust- bucket" and my mental capacity is pretty much spoken for. ?
