  1. Looks very nice. Great job with the paint.
  2. Great job! It really looks stunning.
  3. You can put the Pledge on before or after the decals. The only word of caution is if you intend to use a decal setting solution. The decal setting solution can dissolve or cloud the Future.
  4. Great job! Very nice looking collection as well.
  5. Great job! The paint and decal work is outstanding.
  6. Great job Mike. I rather enjoy applying decals, but when they fight you every step of the way, it's no fun.
  7. Great save. Looks real nice.
  8. Looks very good Michelle. If I may offer a suggestion, when you paint the hood scoops and the cowl, I suggest using a wash. You may have to fill it in a few times, but I find I have more control over the flow of the paint. The car below I filled in the scoop on the hood and the vents on the rear fenders this way.
  9. Outstanding work. Looks rally great!
  10. Looks very nice. Black is not an easy color to paint.
  11. Some of it is how they take care of themselves, but most of it whether they can afford the plastic surgery time after time.
  12. Looks great! Just like it came out of the comic strip.
  13. Looks very nice! I like the color choice.
  14. Great job! The blue looks spectacular.
  15. Thanks for sharing. Very cool technique.
  16. Looks great! The decals look real good on the flat paint.

    Great save on the kit. Looks quite good based on what you had to start with.
  18. Very nice Jonathan! Great work.
  19. Revell. I mostly build NASCAR subjects.
  20. Thanks Pat. I saw the website in one of your pictures, but thought that there might be a retailer that you bought the tape from. I will give it a try. Many thanks.
  21. The milk comment always flummoxed me too because whole milk is like a milk shake and skim milk is like water. I read in an article recently that 2% milk is supposed to be the standard. I use a glass mixing jar and add the amount of paint I think will do the job. I then slowly add the thinner and will stir periodically. After stirring I will tip the jar a bit and watch the paint run back down. Based on how quickly the paint runs back down and the amount of paint that remains on the jar is when I know its ready. This was done over years of trial and error. I like your approach much better.
  22. This looks like a great tip. Where do you buy the tape?
