  1. Hi Edgar..I have had Future react with both Set and Sol..it left a cloudy area which never disappeared... would be best to run a test with the same paint, decal solution, spare decal, and Future, just to be sure. I know it seems like a lot of work, but better to know in the beginning than have the heart break at the end....Good luck? Thanks for checking in Randy (Birdcage is looking awesome !!) After another couple coats of Clear I felt comfortable wet sanding with 1000g again, and starting with Novus 1 and 2, then Meguiar's Ultimate Polish,I've got the right side rear buffed out ...Cheers
  2. Came out great Pierre ! Still can't believe the base and clear are brush painted ...!!! Excellent Cheers
  3. Coming along nicely, the reservoirs look great. I always add alot of details to these big scale kits, and sometimes it gets hidden behind or under more parts, but I know they are there. Filling voids and empty spaces just adds to the realism of the build...keep it up? Cheers
  4. Is this 1:43rd scale...? It could fit on my pointer finger? I admire your work sir !.
  5. This is looking great Bruce,... ,...............wait what..? Snow in Reno?, are you in the mountains?
  6. Ok..thanks guys..I did go to Crappy Tire and picked up a couple cans of Acrylic Lacquer Duplicolor cans They changed the label, but it says Acrylic lacquer. .warmed it up in HOT water 3Coats..looks like a pinecone with 3 coats of clear on it, I know so far so good, masked the red clear after 40 minutes,and shot Dulcote on the rad housing and intake tunnels And of coarse another mockup Another wet sand and clear 2-3,4 coats Thanks for looking in ...Cheers
  7. All the decals on...now to decide on clear coat. I've had to use some Micro-Set to settle the decals into the side pod crevices, so Future is OUT, I've been staring at my Alclad #310 Gloss Klear Kote (Laquer over Acrylic Laquer?), Or my stand by Alclad #600 Aqua Gloss Clear ...Or go to the store and buy some more Duplicolor Acrylic Laquer clear gloss (I only have their Acrylic enamel in stock) More to follow, as it happens Cheers
  8. That's not too bad I was worried as well re; the body fitment, a little 1000g dry sand on the dash and brush another coat on I guess. Engine compartment looking good ! Cheers
  9. Man, how do you even start those carbon decals?...Do you use alot of Sol - Set or what? Looking good brother..keep it going Cheers
  10. If you build it, they will come.....put as much,..or as little detail as YOU want Pierre Great build so far Cheers
  11. Amazing vid Bill..I noticed the sheet steel discs (thought they were on the rear..?),maybe determined alot of the reversing down the street parts..lol The body work and full interior they accomplished was just incredible..! Thanks for posting it up?
  12. A little 1000g sanding on those tape lines and she should be ready for decals and clear...wheww
  13. Well, after much humming and hawing, I decided to mask off for some Duplicolor #CBHY1811 Nordic white...so there wont be problems later with semi opaque decals... I used the Indycals decals, cut to size as stencils, if you will Wish me luck
  14. Real nice progress..all the aftermarket goodies look great !!
  15. I've got the Revell Germany on the shelf..can't wait to see what you do with it Ray? Will you be doing the full livery..?
  16. Nice work on the wheels Pierre !
  17. Looking good Pierre..don't see much wrong with the decalling... Keep it going?
