I always have a pan of ice water available to quickly dip the body into after heating. I find it helps eliminate alot of the "memory" the plastic has in wanting to return to it's original state.

I use Evercoat 445 and love it. Same as the 446 Evercoat but costs less as it's only a 20oz can vs 64. Costs less, but still not cheap

Welcome from another Wisconsinite Jim! You'll find lots of good people and good fun here. Rich

They can be used in either 1/24 or 1/25 but I think they tend to be more towards 24 scale IMO.

Good show today. First time attending and I'm glad I was able to go. Walked away with a few plastic grab bags (love these) for $3 each that I could use along with a few kits. Big crowd it seemed to me.

My projects tend to creep in complexity as I go along. What starts out with a resolution to finish a build within a few weeks usually ends up twice that after I decide to add this and change that. Often, I tell myself at the start that I'm going to stick to a "stock" build in order to keep completions and interest going at a good rate. I even sometimes have the wild idea of sealing the hood on a project and making it a curbside to finish quicker, but that has yet to happen. Typically, scratchbuilding rears it's head and another kit (or 2) becomes involved and the time-anchor comes out. Also, I wouldn't want to guess the percentages but I'll bet many here are like me when it comes to part cleanup. I spend hours and hours doing parts cleanup, including parts that I know will NEVER be seen by anyone but me. Maybe it's the inner dentist in me taking over, so I do it, but then wonder why. Bottom line is you work at a pace that feeds your creativity and time availability. Fortunately as we get older we tend to have more of each. Enjoy!

Welcome!

Great work! Is the camaro pro-mod a curbside?

Welcome!

Same here... I've had the hauler kit on the shelf since it was released and this may be the trigger for me to do mine now. Great job on both car and truck! Changes of subject are a great thing sometimes

Great weathering!! Very, very realistic. Does Guybrush refer to Guybrush Threepwood?

Great build Tony and great work on the decals!

Honest Charley.... brings back memories getting their catalogs as a teenager in the 60's Nice build btw

Another vote to leave as is. Oh how I wish I'd kept my builds from the early/mid 60's to show and eventually pass on to my grandsons

Being an impatient sort, waiting for the thinner to work wouldn't replace my using channel locks I recently picked up a jaw type opener at HL in the checkout lane that has a rubber gripper area and fits Modelmaster and Tamiya bottles, but not the little Testors. I use this new rubber one to hold the jar while using the channel locks on the lid. At least now I won't wreck the labels. I'm going to try the press and seal method and see how that works now.

I just finished the Glidden T-Bird last night and have been trying to decide what to start next. Seeing as how I have the Camaro kit AND the Slixx Grump decals I think I've made my decision after looking at your build. Nice job!

Thanks for the smiles this morning.... I especially liked the line: "I thought that I was supposed to accomplish something before I was allowed to be proud of myself.' Being in my 60's I can relate

Game of Thrones Deadwood House of Cards Breaking Bad

I'm watching! My kinda build

Gorgeous!

Awesome use of black as a theme....

Nice '57! Spot on...

Nice engine work!

I owned two Fastbacks... A '66 and a 69'. I really'd love to model one of them someday.

Nice big old Impala! Well done!
