  1. That 1:1 glass is not curved at the top Pete.. that's chrome I was looking at those pics earlier and thinking,..you could replace that glass with flat packaging material..quite the curve from side to side , but flat top to bottom.
  2. I love those 80s Indy cars..you'll have fun with this one Ismael. I am a bit jealous tho.. that is the one that has escaped me over the years.
  3. Great idea ..I have about a dozen of those in my plumbing box...lol
  4. Cool shape ! Not bad for a snap kit eh?
  5. The chromed wheels had a lighter coating on the centers, so hit them with Alclad chrome to even them out and got the tires sanded out ..a 7/16" socket fits perfectly Now, on to that crazy front end cage..my goal is to get all suspension dry fitted to check the stance. More to come..Qs, Cs, and Cs always welcome...encouraged really.
  6. I always knew you liked the bigger scale models , but this is taking it a bit over the edge Bruce...lol
  7. It will stick to anything, just remember to have a wet Qtip ready after forming, to wipe off any residue
  8. And speaking of chrome, ..just out of the booth with a new coat of Alclad
  9. Let the acrylics dry for some days, and any clear Dullcoat or otherwise should be fine.
  10. I've had good luck with the CraftSmart paints from Micheals. Mix it 1:4 paint to water (tap is fine) and add a couple drops of Liquitex Flow aid (also Micheals) let it dry a couple days before clearing..here I used Future
  11. Definitely looks proud of the air dam surface yep.
  12. Ok...so went ahead and gave it 2 light coats of Duplicolor sandable black primer,..waited 45 min and started laying down the Duplicolor Victory red, warmed in hot water. 2 light coats, 2 medium...Think we got a winner...the black took just enough brightness out of it. Happy Later

  17. I cut off the mounting pins on the body and ground about 2.5mm or 3/32" off the front edge of the horns of the bumper to get it, here.. Good enuf...any more and risk the body horns overhang the bumper
  18. I'm thinking so too.. maybe over a black primer...
  19. Looking good G One thing, the side window b pillar covers should be swapped side to side...should look like this
