  1. Exactly !!! Walk away it's the best shine I've ever laid down ...come back later and its dulled down...arggg . My buddy said it's a trademark of lacquer, but it doesn't bury details unless I get carried away w layers of paint . Warming the cans , and not rushing between coats is helpful. I usually have times when it turns milky from humidity , but it tends to clear right up
  2. That's going to be a stunning build! Keep up the awesome work
  3. Not really anything fancy, I sprayed a light coat , wait 10 -15 minutes and spray again repeat as needed. The gloss doesnt appear right away during each coat, it always looks blotchy. I found it levels out as it sits. The annoying part is once I'm done spraying, theres awesome gloss...then as it gasses out overnight it dulls slightly being lacquer. I polish w novus 2 for improving the gloss
  4. Thanks everyone I appreciate the feedback! Today was foil day..another skill I'm slowly learning, but enjoying The roofline has so many different curves , finally broke them down into smaller sections. The wide strip on top of fenders isn't trimmed yet, the molding is very faint and wasnt ready to tackle it free hand yet
  5. I never refused entrants starting after the start date . Your definitely welcome to join us ! Your project sounds great. I did extend the build off til dec 31st because this lockdown mess so theres extra time to complete the build
  6. Thanks ! I'm slowly getting better w rattle cans Thanks its testors wet look clear . I sprayed the roof w 3 coats of white lightning which is basically clearcoat...so the roof has 3 more coats than the body
  7. Body is polished out , and decided to drop it on the frame for a look.. I'm still learning to polish these bodies out , using novus 2 w t shirt material. The roof turned out fantastic the body was slightly more wavy after wet sanding ..more practice needed
  8. My step moms Cherokee sport has the bigfoot , and jeep logo . Theres a Moab map under the passenger compartment also, never knew what it meant till now . How fun the designer's were adding these Easter eggs
  9. Outstanding builds We've gotta take a road trip soon and photograph the Charmin trucks together
  10. Actually that's the issue I had , the tabs seemed to long to roll tightly together around the wire hinge . Guess I'll have to check out the video too
  11. Excellent paint work , interior really pops too
  12. I wish the fella was still doing business in the UK, he had perfect sized working hinges for rigs Premade glue on and go..some reason they discontinued them The etch ones are nice and work well once done. Mine took awhile to roll correctly and keep things moving
  13. Your making good progress ! Keep it up
  14. That's beautiful together
  15. Yep , it's new in a bag guess the box was damaged
  16. I have the bass boat from the gone fishing set , probably not the right theme your going for though
  17. Gorgeous car
  18. Very cool this will come in handy
  19. Whoot whoot is hump day !!! The bodies in paint and starting the clear process...2 coats right now and a dust nib lands right on the trunk lid lol Inca gold after 1 coat pulled the tape off immediately after and sent it back to booth for clear . The color is so amazing flopping between different colors time to allow it time to cure , and decide if more is needed
  20. I'd definitely be interested! PM me for for info please and thanks !
  21. Casey , it will be 1/25
  22. Sorry David ( espo) I didn't reply to your question about the adhesive for carpet. I used a brown paint from tamiya , brushing a small area at a time then dusting the embossing powder on. I figured if the powder was thin the paint would conceal it Thanks everyone for their feedback
  23. I'm planning a build and would like to use this style intake and double plug heads, but unsure where to find one Any help appreciated.
