Top down, or , bottom up?
tbill replied to Speedfreak's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I don't know why I do it, but I start at the bottom/rockers on one side, spin the stand, do the same on the other side, then trunk, roof, hood/fender tops, then header panel [if it has one]. never gave it a thought as to why, I just do it that way. -
WOW, beautiful in every aspect. can't say enough about how great this looks. I also wanted to comment on the 'clear' comment you made. I have been using Model Master ultra gloss lacquer [28139], I find it sprays/flows quite nice, here is an example [one coat and un sanded/polished]

Canepa KW, new project
tbill replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
thank you, not too bad for a rattle can I am finding I really like the lacquer rattle cans, especially the metal flake colors. I hope it shines even more after some hand glaze. was out of town for work last night, and just got home, so no work tonight on it, but I think tomorrow night will be another sanding session....... -

Canepa KW, new project
tbill replied to tbill's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
ya, holy cow this sleeper is gonna be the death of me My goal is to have no seams visible on the 5 parts that make up the sleeper, I am sick of sanding/priming/sanding/putty/sand/prime/sand/sand/sand/sand........did I mention sanding??? to make matters worse, the tanker I am building to go along with this needs major putty work on the bottom to make it smooth/seamless, I must have lost my mind on this one, lol. how anyone could be a body man for a living is beyond me, lol, in all seriousness though, I am making progress. have one side of the sleeper just about smoothed out, frame is almost ready for paint and the motor is 1/2 together. should have some shameless 'look at me' pic's by the end of the weekend -

'64 Riviera winner
tbill replied to Baugher Garage's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
well, I guess since the merc's, '32 fords and 69 Camaro's have been done to death, it was time for a body style change. as mentioned, the execution of jamming all the parts together must be top notch fit and finish wise, but the total design does leave one wondering if that night in tiawanna [sp?] went on a bit too long. -
Got a brainbuster for you guys
tbill replied to Quick GMC's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
that's a 'henway'. -
well, I figure the latest round of re-issues is probably going to be the worst [as mentioned due to old tooling] I have a few 'original' issue kits, and some 2nd and 3rd issue kits, and some of the 'newest' re-issue stuff. you can sort of see the 'decline' in the end product thru the re-issues. but hey, that's half the fun right? [no, not really, lol, not a huge fan of actual body work ]
