  1. in my opinion, if bmf gives you trouble, alclad will make you lose your mind [ask me how i know, lol] my best advice, use bmf, also, go to HL and get some of the tiny q-tip looking things, the real small ones. lay down your bmf, then take the tiny q-tip and rub the foil down real good, now with a new blade, trim the foil around the body/molding lines, peel off excess, then with tiny q-tip like device mentioned earlier, re rub the foil down along where it was trimmed. this will help smooth any jagged edges from cutting. trust me, once you get a feel for the bmf, you'll love it, and if one part doesn't look right, peel it off, and try again, you'll be glad you did. i think you have a good start on foiling, i think with a little practice, you'll have it mastered.
  2. crisp and clean comes to mind, very nice build.

    My 2 for 2016

    wow, can't go wrong with those two, outstanding work.
  6. that looks fantastic! your foil looks pretty good to me. trick to the foil is to rub it down real good, and when cutting, just drag the blade, no need to put pressure on it, the weight of the knife/blade is enough to cut it. again, very nice build
  7. sweet! really dig those builds
  8. wow, not a clunker in the bunch! when do you find time for hobbies
  9. nice group of builds, nice assortment of subjects too.
  10. that's cool that you have builds from your youth, and are 'lightly restoring' them. like many others, mine are all gone, and probably in a landfill somewhere. upside of my story is, i have been able to repurchase unbuilt kits of all the stuff i remember building, and as i slowly build them, it takes me right back to when i did them the first time
