Having just attended the Philadelphia Area Car Modeler's and DelVal IPMS Christmas meeting, and having my own Jersey Shore party, Tri-States, CNJIPMS and Pine Barrens and others, it is that time of year to wish each and every one of you a Safe and Happy Holidasy season. Enjoy your club and personal parties, remember our troops overseas and more importantly, Remember the reason for the season, and of course- KEEP IT FUN.

At what level to STOP detailing.
el Presidente replied to whale392's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Just to add my two cents, I have won quite a few awards without going for all the whistles and bells. Plug wires, battery cables and a few other aftermarket items are about it. The rest is just good build techniques and clean workmanship. I build for myself first and if it looks good to me then I may put it in a contest to see how I do against others. My motto, and the motto for my clubhas always been, Keep It Fun. I have seen many contest models that have way to many sparkly things, that catch the judges eyes, and make them look past bad techniques. Go as far as you want, but have fun doing it, otherwise you are doing it for the wrong reasons, as Ricky Nelson sang, you can't please everyone, so you got to please yourself. -

rust & weathering beginner kit?
el Presidente replied to DrewCfromSC's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Sophisticated finishes works great for me, the only problem I have with it is the iron metallic surfacer hardens in the bottle after a few uses. I end up having to throw almost half a bootle away all the time -

Tool for trimming chrome foil
el Presidente replied to oldman23's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
As a Union Tin knocker I use the metal tape alot. It is extremely adherent and sticks real good to skin. I have not used it on model paint but I would be very cautious as I think it would pull the paint off. I saw it used as a brush metal finish for firewalls on hot rods in one of the mags though -

Working at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park for the past 35 years, it is always a pleasure to see your work John. It reminds me of when racecars were works of art and sometimes sick imaginations. Great job -
