  1. paint filled balloons hmmm now we're talkin fun !! never thought of that one...... would make a interesting paintjob for a drag car.....
  2. yeah fun to experiment with like said let me know if you need a monogram interior tub and chassis, like also mentioned easy to open up the hatch neat in that aspect
  3. tulio wherever did you get those "special" thunderbird valve covers......? very awsome supercharge setup crazy to think they have been "huffing" cars so many years now
  4. from what i saw on the ad picture the van is waaaay tall so the decals even if somone offered some up for free from the new stones kit would literally fall short! i think i will have to mask an hand draw my own flame design and go that way but yes it will be flamed probly not decals tho
  5. I just seem to find "airbrush" overly complicated, compressors, hoses,numerous guns, or nozzles, i'm sure as your a 30 year veteran you have it down to a "T" perfect setup perfect paintbooth, all your paints organized and mixxed, I just like to select my primer, my Can of color and paint my vehicle, sometimes polish it up a bit or clear cote and wala i'm done. I will have to post some pictures some seriously "groovy" as Bartster would say can be painted via rattle cans and proper layering i'm working on 2 cars with "Bartster" here on the forum he laid down some very nice flame jobs on 2 bodys with rattle cans!! will dig out the bodys and post pics...
  6. serious adult hobbyist?? Its just that, and i'm sure many folks out there are like my wife they roll their eyes grown adult men playing with little plastic "TOY" cars and trucks.....I do take my hobby seriously, but I feel by not having a professional airbrush or a paintbooth is irrelevent........ I was born and raised in minnesota, so a winter like this winter this year , Yeah i can understand your need for a booth and preference of using airbrush, The rest of us we do what we like I too agree with previous statements about tamayia laqures and the new testors one coats very good paints no sanding polishing necessary
  7. lindbergs dodge l-700 is a pretty nice fun kit to build, has lots of potential
  8. with all the hype of the newly re issued superstones f 350 truck i had overlooked somewhere about there being 3 vehicles by ford with firestones tires the f150 truck with the offroad tires the ford courier mini truck performance tires? and ford econoline van regular street tires? i just got a sweepstakes magazine ad from flea bay will post image as soon as i get it! i have the courier mini truck kit, and now the newly issued superstones f 350 and i recently got a van junklot thats in my striptank! i would love to build the "triage" of all 3 will probly nee the most help with the econoline! should be fun!!
  9. not too bad of a kit can be kitbashed into a very decent mustang with the revell monogram mustang kits, chassis pan fits well and it far more detailed, its basically a snap kit its very dissapointing too with decals as i got hold of 3 variations of the kit i wanted the black cobra to have the green cobra decals used on the car, but they are dry dransfer decals and i had no luck they crumbled...... but i am working away on 2 of my 3 as backburner projects, i have a bunch of junk lot monogram chassis convertable parts so hopefully i can make something cool of my kits! i do feel they did pretty well on the body, this particilar model and the way its made make for a very easy version to open up the rear hatch liftgate!! good luck pm me if you have any questions or need parts.....
  10. nothing wrong with pics! holy crow!!!! that is awsome!! I was over there in 2005 and your look captures real life 1:1 perfectly to a "T"
  11. I do thats the only way i know! sometimes i do a light mist cote along the rockers on the bottom, i eiter simply get not enough paint on the rockers or too much! so if i mist a lite cote on the rockers let it dry a bit the other mists of paint from the top down have something to stick to, hope this helps

    very cool, i've got one in mythical maroon, not sure what to do for the interior, probly white/ creame? i'm sure i've got the fender skirts if you would like a set if they are not already on my build.....
  13. little bit of everything all depends upon where we are at or what we are doing like vacation, or just a day at the beach, or park etc.
  14. super sick!! ( good sick ) of course!
  15. very nice alber thanks for the usefull info on the suspention adjustments of these cars i have a couple to build including shelbys
  16. my wife does photography, and scrapbooking the two go together rather well, like model car building and hoarding/ collecting!!
  17. whats so wierd about an escort build ?? i'm busy working on one myself....
  18. I have a few foxbody and "4 eyed" mustang threads * my way to build a 85/ 86 gt mustang * foxbody frenzy * mercury capri foxbody's ??
  19. That was you that outbid me!!! yeesh guess i'd better work more overtime to be able to outbid ya!!
  20. hopeing the foxbody cars are on the to do list in the near future for round 2 as well they have been bringing back some awsome kits like the superstones ford truck! great move keep em coming!! have to snap some pictures for my "foxbody frenzy " post i've made some progress especially on interiors, and my "MAD" resins 79' notchback with a cobra front nose on it!!
  21. the 87-93' mustang kits by amt/ mpc have a more rounded smoother belt moulding that much closer resembles the 85-86 mouldings as compared to the mpc 79-84 kits which all have the 79- 82ish looking rub strips..... the other positive note is the newer body has the 5.0 scripts/ emblems already on the body! as far as the "gt" thats moulded into the rub strips just behind the doors i'm ok without that on my version in 1/25 scale will not have that (i'm not skilled enough to engrave something that small and detailed) maybe use some of the small "gt" decals from the 83-84 mustang kits.....??
  22. I beleive Harry Neil young would say " Keep on rockin in the free world" or in the back of my mind as i'm listening to that tune my Brainwaves playback..... " keep on buildin those model cars....."
  23. i too would like to get the repops of the roadrunner, baldwin camaro, the oldsmobilehurst and that 36' ford i am loving me some round 2 reissues the molded color plastic is beautiful too!! not all the hobby lobbys have the super stones trucks yet must be trickleing in...... or some stores must be quicker on resets then the others??
  24. open these here closet doors and ...... wa la!! ta da!! my newly relocated hobby area.... i've now been setup in the closet!! desk is a wreck of projects right now need to organize bad!! a nice part of my stash is directly above me while i work i'm picking away at ALL of them!!
