DiscoRover007

The 2011-12 and the 2004 mustangs are still the best looking in the modern era in my opinion. This new model looks a hell of a lot like a lancer evo. Not really digging it.

Had a beautiful gunmetal paint job on a tamiya supra kit. Once I had cleared it I realized the hood was slightly warped. I tried to correct it by heating it under a lamp to bend it. I let it sit under the lamp too long, forgot about it and the BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH thing was nearly melted in half.

Despite the massive color selection of Duplicolor I don't use them anymore. i find them to be way too sensitive to humidity. Additionally their paint seems to have a "crinkling" effect, particularly their metallics when I use them. So I just stick to Tamiya now.

I've been thinking about purchasing this kit for a long time. It looks great so far. What sort of inaccuracies need to be taken care of to make it accurate? When I build kits my biggest concerns are immediately body inaccuracies. Such as extra panel lines or lack there of.

As far as quality Tamiya is consistently the best imo. Always crisp molds, complete with window masks and metal transfers. Lately Revell has rivaled them with their latest works in my opinion. In a few years I think they will equal them. Aoshima is also very good. Fujimi has interesting subject matter which is what makes me buy their stuff sometimes. But a lot of their kits, although are crisply molded have inaccuracies and sink marks. They often lack engine detail too. Their enthusiast kits are extremely detailed though the parts fitment isn't very good. But those are old kits so it's understandable.

Hey guys not if sure if you've been on the revell germany site lately but they have started a "post your idea" on their site. Basically you tell them what model you would like to be made. Not sure if revell will actually go through with it but it's definitely cool to finally voice our opinion on what we think should be made. I myself have suggested the Maserati MC12 in 1/24. Which I hope you all vote for by the way(Most beautiful car ever) You can vote for it here if you like: http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/2597/ I also suggested the Land Rover Discovery II. I'm not sure it has much hope but it deserves to have a model. One of the coolest 4x4's and was Land Rover's best selling truck. Which you can vote here for, http://ideas.revell.de/ideas/item/2724/ Now besides campaigning my own ideas suggest some of your own and tell Revell what we want!

I go a couple times a month maybe. But I pretty much go there with the 40% coupon to stack up on Testors one coat clear or Vallejo acrylics. I can also get replacement parts for my Iwata custom CS there too. They carry tamiya weathering systems and the super tiny cotton swabs as well. I never buy kits there anymore though. Too over priced and I still can't justify it with a coupon unless it's something I really want. A couple years ago they used to sell at least a couple of tamiya kits but they stopped doing that.

I personally strive to build my models to best of my ability and we all know how much time, work and effort can go into them. I would not trust a judge to handle my models. I do not personally care if he is a modeler himself because that doesn't say anything about his skill level or how I would like my models to be handled. I'm the same way with my real car. I pretty much do all of my own maintenance. I will not go to any jiffy lube or most mechanics. I've never entered a competition and I would not enter at the expense of ruining a model.The only person you have to prove to anything to is yourself. However if I do enter one I plan to take pictures in the assembly process and detailed interior photos. So perhaps it will not be necessary for the model to be touched.

Nice. I use future for interior details and as a base for kosutte gin san powder. What do you do to keep dust off your bodies before spraying. You seem to handle your bodies pretty liberally while painting. Does your paint booth eliminate dust also? Are you misting water into the air before painting? When you clear coat bodies with future and then move on to painting black window trim. If you make a mistake, what do you use to remove the paint without hurting the future? Thanks! Great videos!
