  1. I must meet the God who is making this model!!! Most amazing build I have see. Great Work.
  2. Hey guys. I am in the process of gluing some distributor wires to an engine I am building and am not sure how i go about gluing them in place. I don't feel confident using the normal Testors Red tube glue. Sometimes the Testors Red Tube can be messy. Is their a model glue that is good for this application? Also, what is the technique involved? Thanks.
  3. Hello everyone. What are some of your favorite panel line scribers? I am thinking about cutting the doors out of my next project. What are some good tools and some good techniques to use for this project?
  4. My recent model car project has not turned out that great. I painted my model this Tamiya Metallic Red and cannot get it to shine. I tried a mild car polish and I got nowhere. Do any of you have suggestions on special products I can buy? Could it just be the product I bought? Please Comment. Thanks
  5. Never thought of that, thanks. I will look into that.
  6. I love your latest convertible conversion by the way.
  7. What type of Styrene Plastic do you perfere to use when creating the door jams.
  8. Thanks. I love the Corvair. I will really use those pictures thanks. Thanks for the tips.
  9. Do any of you guys have any way to hold your cars hood up without a prop rod. My car I am building did not have a prop rod from the factory. Please post any of your ideas. Thanks
  10. Thanks, Just checked out your link. A lot a cool stuff.
  11. Hey guys, I need your guy's help. I am starting a project soon where I am going to convert a Corvair coupe to a Convertible. If you guys have done anything similar I would like your advice and tips. Please comment. Thanks
  12. How did you make your door handles so realistic? Is it scratch built or is it from the Promo Model?
  13. Hey guys, I am frustrated. Every model I build has chrome plated parts that must be trimmed in very noticeable spots. I was wondering, what do you guys do to not have that ugly "no Chrome" spot on those plated parts? Do you strip the chrome and then use some alcad? Do you Paint in the trimmed area with silver or use Bare Metal Foil over it? Please post if you guys have suggestions. Thanks, Nick Abrams
  14. What are your guys' suggestions on pushing down Bare Metal Foil onto trim to make it really stick. I have heard of burnishing, What is that?? If you guys have any suggestions please comment. Thanks, Nick Abrams
  15. Hey guys, I have seen some of your models and I just can't stop thinking about how detailed the exteriors are. I was wondering how people paint their side marker lights. Is it Decals? Do you mask it off and then paint?? How do you guys do it? Thanks, Midget Wisperer
