more progress on the trailer, added lights, some diamond plate and some flap weights,
have to work today, but i think i may be able to finish this build off tomorrow
thanks for looking.
I try to use the HL 40% off whenever possible, and like most, find a lot of deals at swap meets and thru trading. every now and again you can find good deals on amazon as well.
trailer builds up nice, just gotta keep an eye on keeping it straight, i got it slightly crooked as i wasn't paying absolute attention as i did the cross beams, so it may dog track a little
thanks all. stripes......will probably not stripe it, but now you have me thinking of looking in the decal drawer to see what i have laying around........ color, it's actually a bluish purple, i think it will really pop in sunlight, hopefully when it's done i can get some good outside pic;s.
i found the spray bomb type automotive primer to work the best [for me], but also keep in mind, i have found that even with that primer, if you use the primer to fill scratches/sand marks, the hot lacquer will noticeably react in those areas, so the body work has to really be done smooth. as mentioned, do some spoon tests and see how it goes. took me a few tries to find the combo that worked for me.
i use automotive lacquers on my kits, and they are a bit hot, but, if you use an automotive style primer,[spray can type from the auto store] and make sure your body work is smooth, smooth, smooth, you should be ok.
