  1. These work well, cone cups for water coolers. Cut off bottom tip, sit in jar and spray until desired level is reached.
  2. You are right and I wouldn't watch it without him.
  3. Here is a video review of the kit. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10201710282780451&set=vb.161068673940799&type=3&theater
  4. I got this beautiful kit from mshobbies.com at allot less that what others are charging. It has photo-etch parts and seat belt material. For some reason it comes with 2 sets of 5 tires, probably gravel or tarmac versions. In someways it is better than Tamiya's rally cars. The decal sheet is complete, just paint white and the rest is decal. the kit is Belkits Ford Fiesta WRC.
  5. Actually he is replaceable, here is an island full of Clarksons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMuO-8S_0Wg
  6. For those who like Plasikote Sandable Primer Gray(T235) and White(T237) check your local Ollie's. I got a bunch for $1.59 a can. They do have some of their other paints. Make sure you are not buying the Enamel primer, they had that too.
  7. Top Gear is Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond. If you mess with that recipe it's simply not Top Gear anymore it is something else.
  8. Jeremy Clarkson has been suspended and the rest of this season's(3 episodes) Top Gear has been cancelled. Apparently he punched his director.http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-31828184
  9. RoG chrome is very hard to strip cleanly. I used oven cleaner, degreaser, ammonia and alcohol first in case of clear coat. I had to use a toothpick to scrape some of it off. I was cleaning the wheels in the DTM kits. Their chrome also comes off some when just handling, it sucks in general.
  10. Tamiya XF63 or TS4 German Gray
  11. Before you buy any airbrush spend some time at Don Wheeler's excellent site here https://sites.google.com/site/donsairbrushtips/
  12. I drill and pin allot so the parts stay together without glue. I also have made tabs and other mechanical ways of holding parts together without glue. I especially like a mechanical way to attach the body to the chassis without ever using glue. You can use Micro Scale Liquitape to hold stuff temporarily
  13. A few drops of this to jar. I think Micheal's or Hobby Lobby has it.
  14. Only rubber seals. Most of the seals in brand name(not chinese knock-offs) airbrushes are Teflon and are solvent proof. The only exception is in the air valve assemblies.
  15. Done it many times, never a problem. Just remember you will have to trim the decal because will be a continuous carrier(clear)coat.
  16. They do sell the 100pk at A.C. MOORE. With the coupon they are about $18.
  17. WARNING: DO NOT soak airbrushes in ammonia for very long, It will eat the chrome finish. You are better off never soaking in ammonia. If just using acrylics soak in soap water or alcohol. If using other solvents it is better to take the air valve assembly out due to it's rubber seal, even alcohol can dry out the rubber seal. Our local art store has a warning on the airbrush case about using ammonia.
  18. I beleive there was a 1/24version by Tilt. It had a molded in driver figure.
  19. They aren't many pics of this car yet so it is hard to tell. The roof has a concave area in the middle that's new and the hood is different. i just love the Shell graphics.
  20. The new Shell BMW DTM car
  21. Nissan's new Lemans challenger. Front engined, front wheel drive? 550hp V6, 700 hp from the hybrid system. The designer did the Delta Wing. Story and more pics here http://www.roadandtrack.com/motorsports/a24902/developing-the-nissan-gt-r-lm-nismo/
  22. Then there was "The Brutus", a 46 liter V12 BMW engine from a Heinkel bomber on Top Gear, video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJn7LHE83cc
  23. Apparently the co driver is actually a rally driver instructor. he gets a little excited. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU1v3OFL7uI
  24. Try using a hot damp cloth pressed over decals to set and conform them. The car below was painted white all other colors are decal. I could not have done this car without this technique. Most solvents are too strong for modern decals.
  25. This six cylinder sounds pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVkY8oA3RlE Turn it up very loud. I like all kinds of engines. Although this V8 twin turbo was very nice alsohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbQumQPqt8o start at the 45 second mark
