Great looking builds Rod!

Charles, the carved lettering is outstanding! What type of cutters did you use?

Thanks for this info! I think I'll wait awhile before upgrading...I'm sure more patches will follow soon. Typical Microsoft release

One thing that was mentioned by Microsoft is this will be the last version of Windows and will be updated as changes become necessary. I plan on downloading Windows 10 as an .ISO file

Has anyone made the switch to Windows 10?

Very nice!

That's a great looking transporter and welcome! I apologize for the mixup...something about posts being merged

Kevin, what do you use for a clear coat?

It's good to see this build re-posted. Fine looking truck and trailer and unbelievable weathering!

What an extremely talented young man. His work is top notch!

Yes it does. But how it compares to thinning with something other than Future I can't say.

Gold lettering and pinstripes = a sharp looking truck!

Maybe that's because it's no longer called Future... Now, it's Pledge Floor Care Finish. That's right! Last time I purchased it was online from Walmart because my local store didn't stock it anymore. Can't figure as to why they changed the name

My personal choice for warming paint cans is a dehydrator set @ 85 degrees. After 3 or 4 minutes, I remove it and shake it. Then back in for 2 minutes, remove, shake and paint. This is what I use for shaking aerosol cans: http://mixkwik.com/ It does a great job!!

Here's a link to a 6 part video series on using Createx paints that I found helpful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z74p0mpNO-Y

I'm currently using Transparent Black as a wash for things like grilles, etc. I have a few other Wicked and Auto-Air colors that I use for hand-brushing. I have never thought of using Future as a thinner for airbrushing, though. Gonna have to give that a try! One of the advantages of using Future is no "dry tip". It really helps lay the paint down. Supposedly a product called Quick Shine multi-surface floor finish can be used in place of Future. I purchased some, but have not tried it. It seems that some people are having difficulty finding Future in stores. Thanks for sharing that info!

I purchased a package of 6 Createx opaque colors. I chose the blue (no particular reason) and thinned it with Future...just over 2 to 1. I used a plastic spoon sanded with 600 grit and primed with Duplicolor white primer. I used my Paasche Model H single action airbrush set @ 30 psi. I applied 4 light coats and between each coat I dried the paint with a hair dryer set to warm. I clear coated with Future using the airbrush set @ 20 psi. I must say that I'm extremely pleased with the results. If anyone is/has used this paint, I would appreciate feedback based on your experience.

The red and black looks real nice! The detailing that you've added really makes it pop. Keep up the great work!

This is looking real nice Alain.

Great looking combo.

Looking good!

I can see how the steering knuckles were challenging. They came out perfect! Excellent work Charles!

Excellent work on the truck and trailer! Top notch detailing as usual.

Looks great and I like your choice of colors!

Looks good...nice build!
