My first WIP here; '70 Dodge Challenger T/A, Parts
mustang1989 replied to Roadrunner's topic in WIP: Model Cars
That BMF job looks good there Kevin. The trick I was told from here for washes in the automotive realm is to go with a wash that's the color of the paint you are using that's a couple of shades darker. Yeah , like you, I figured that stuff out real quick on the use of washes in the sense that we are used to. -
Nicely done! Made it look like it came that way out of the box dude.

The next thing I'm expecting is a half eaten McDonald's Happy Meal laying in the front seat! Jeez dude! You're killin' me with the detail here! -
Tom: Thanks dude! The scoop had to "grow on me" but I'll be using that with no reservations now. Tim: Thank you as well! It's gonna take me a while because I'm building this and my DB605 engine along side of it so I can have something built aircraft wise. Carl: I appreciate your comments. Man that's for sure on the late night bench time! lol . I'll be gone with my family for 3 days this weekend so there won't be any progress but I'll get that rest you're talking about . Will resume on Monday. Kevin: Go for it bud! Thanks for the encouragement on the slicks. I was worried about those initially but glued 'em together with Permatex gasket sealer/ adhesive so the seams wouldn't be as noticeable.

LOL! I'm attempting to build a Revell 56 Ford F-100 with a 429 Boss here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=99722&page=1 -
Well there for a while I was stuck at how I was going to handle the coolant reservoir retaining straps but ended up figuring it out. About a month ago I ordered an already started/ spare parts boxing of a 56 Ford F-100 for my WIP over in the truck section. Whoever the seller was he threw all kinds of stuff in that box that didn't pertain to any part of the F-100 build. One thing he threw in was a half cut up set of 1/16 light gray racing stripes which I promptly threw away right along with 1/2 of the junk (and it was junk!--stuff like a 1/12 or 1/16 cut up / half build exhaust from something, 1/12 scale wheels, etc). A couple of days later I had an idea flash through my head. What if I cut the decals the width of the straps and used those?? Well that's exactly what I did. My small trash can was sitting there right beside the bench so I went through it and found the decals. I cut 'em the width of the straps and after a couple of coats of Microsol I had a winning result. I have painted up and installed a lot of the accessory drive items at the back of the engine and will start on the weathering process once I have a few more items on here. Right now here she sits and clean and purdy ( complete with my usual dust and plastic shavings that I can never seem to take care of before a photo shoot!)
