  1. I will be working on a race car that has a flat finish. It is white, which is why the yellowing is significant. I will have to paint is a gloss white and then apply the decals. After this process, I will have to apply a flat. Am looking for options for the flat finish before I begin. I did a search on this and did not find what I was looking for. Given the size of this sight, I likely did not do the search properly. I appreciate any assistance offered.
  2. Check to make sure "Automatic Updates" is turned on. If you don't know where it is do the following. Press Settings then press General, then press Software Update. Make sure Automatic Updates is set to Yes. The updates will download and install automatically.
  3. Great job with a very obscure race car.
  4. Stunning, absolutely stunning!!
  5. Great looking model! Really stellar work.
  6. Great looking model. The details and the figures are outstanding!
  7. Great looking model. It looks like that would have been one beast to drive.
  8. Great work! Truly one of the most iconic rides in NASCAR history.
  9. Thank you, Pierre. I will try brushing it on.
  10. Pierre, Thanks for the information. I bought a bottle of Quick Shine and am eager to see how it works. I do have a question as to how you clean your brushes. I used an airbrush to apply Future and cleaned it with Windex. However, I think you wrote that Windex did not touch the Quick Shine, so I am a bit reluctant to run it through an airbrush at the moment. I appreciate any information you can provide.
  11. Thank you for the comment Brent. I appreciate it. I lower the stance as follows. The back axle assembly attaches to the chassis with screws. I cut off about an 1/8 of an inch from the posts on the axle assembly. The front has the holes for the axle to fit. The suspension piece, I leave alone because it is of a sufficient diameter. I enlarge the holes on the chassis to equal the suspension piece. I find a drill bit of the size of the suspension piece and slowly drill the chassis out. The axles have to be shortened considerably. I put the axle in a vise and a cutting wheel in my Dremel tool and shorten them. I do this by sight, so I do not have an exact measurement for you, but you will have to cut off more than you think. I hope this helps.
  12. I believe that Lindsey Buckingham is very underrated. Fleetwood Mac was built around their vocals and harmonies, but when they let Lindsey rip, he was really good. Go Your Own Way, The Chain and I'm So Afraid are good examples.
  13. This looks really good. I could see this car as a throwback scheme at Darlington.
  14. Looks very good. Good job with the paint and the decals. I remember when Jimmy had a run in with Kurt Busch and he popped Busch in the nose. Jack Rousch being the imbecile he could be at times called the cops. Mayhem ensued. Won't see anything like that today.
  15. Great work! The model really looks the part. I sometimes wonder how many of Schumacher's titles would have gone to Senna had he not passed.
  16. Very nice build. Looks very good.
  17. Great job on this build and the whole collection.
  18. Wow, that is incredible!! The details are fabulous. Certainly museum quality work.
  19. Comfortably Numb was already mentioned, but David Gilmore is also spectacular in Sorrow.
