Oh soRry we were talkin about duplicolor paint!

advice from all hardcore ford guys
MsDano85gt replied to MsDano85gt's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I agree completely none of the mainstream good mustangs are ever kitted. Muy favorite being 85-86 gt although I'?e discovered how to piece one together from various bmpc kits (expensive to do collecting up all the old mpc kits) they never really did a 82 "boss is back" stang although a 79 pace car can make a 82 gt perhaps yes the mach 1 and the new cyote 5.0 who's going to fill the holes? What about fox saleens? Those were wicked cool! -
advice from all hardcore ford guys
MsDano85gt posted a topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Especially mustangs! Any ford guys ever thought of making a "mach. 1" from the revell 99' cobra? Looks as though the revell gran torino gt kit has a perfect looking shaker hood setup I need to compare book pictures of cobra hood vs mach 1 hood I think it could be done without too much modification hardes part would have to be wheels? -

Maybe I can try this technique for replicating small parts? Trying elmers glue And silly putty experimentally -
I have a 04' saturn Ion "redline" also referred by many as a Lsj cousin to the cobalt ss Its a easton supercharged powered 2.0 ecotec with a saab 5 speed tranny -Although I do t know the previous owner(s) of the car think it was only one and their driving habbits the car is now at 99,800 miles I have not replaced any major mechanical components of the clutch-drivetrain however I did have to replace the pedal assembly itself ( who in their right minds uses a plastic pedal assembly for a clutch)?? Long story short I'm sure its the original equipment and its headin for the 100k mark I've been no saint either, hard launches sometimes (love to hear the supercharger) and do ocaationally downshift (always wait till lowest possible rpm's)my exhaust sounds like popcorn when you downshift

Am I the first to lose a model?
MsDano85gt replied to sportandmiah's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I've lost models before! I have so many in progress projects, I go back for one and it has mysteriously vanished ( I believe a couple good models) have vanished to other mcm members (trading can be as addicting as e bay) so yes I've lost parts whether its my fault, the carpet monster, the cat, my toddler, or myself losing stuff all the time,whole models that dissapear are usually my fault but hopefully the models all went to new homes and not the dumpster -

Do you Clear coat --after or before-- DECALS?
MsDano85gt replied to adabiri2's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
It can go both ways I put decals on my finished paint, on some kits (molded in color kits)I place all my decals then shoot some clear over everything makes the plastic shine and protects the decals -
Hey. Everyone I figure I would toss this out to model land styrene junkies alike I recently got a couple tubes of "kens fuzzy fur" today I finally used them, I was very happy with the end results I do need much more practice, but for a first try it turned out well. You can use testors white (or elmers) glue or as it states sprinkle over wet paint (the method I used) its real neat stuff (little Messy) its a nice touch to finished models I am currently working on fox mustang and capri interior so -i've got maroon and. Charcoal gray like I said neat stuff add it to ur wants list for the hobby bench
