Thank you so much, really appreciate it. ?

Thank you ?

Hey guys, I am actually using Aluminum Tape (for plumbing) for my chrome trim. Would say that switching for the real BMF product would make things easier to cut, etc? I feel that the Aluminum tape is a bit too thick and I have hard time to cut through, and the glue layer give me trouble as well.... Even with a fresh blade, I can not get a neat edge. thank you

Beautiful

Hi David, thank you for your kind words. I have never heard about this Molotow pen , I am definitely gonna check it out. It would be handy on areas such as doors pillars etc. The product that I use for chrome is actually a roll of aluminium foil for heat insulation and is probably a little ticket than BMF for modelling. thank you ?

Happy Holidays to everybody. Long story short , a few years back I started to do car modeling, unfortunately after few attempts, I was not happy with what I was doing then I quit for more than 2 years. Finally, yesterday I decided to give it a go one more time with this 59’ Cadillac Eldorado... Thank you

Thank you guys for your advice. What do you mean by tank ? A CO2 tank ? Thanks

I am willing to pay the price for something that would work proprely. Just great value for great price.?

Hi guys, I would like to purchase an airbrush with the compressor and a booth. 2 things : I live in an apartment And I want something "cheap". What would you recommend ? Thanks :-)

Good evening guys: My question is simple: Which paint brush and paint brand is great for brush mark free? Thank you.

All right, so today I've done some work. First, I did some wood work for the roof. I had some wood from another project, so I decided to cut it in half, draw the pattern of the roof on a sheet of paper, and simply cut the wood on the line. after that, I wanted to make a rack for the surf board. Some more work has to be done on it. Second, I paint the engine. I will have to check online if I can find how I can wire the engine. Third, i had an old gas tank from a pick up. As it was too wide, I cut it shorter. I would like to install the gas tank under the back seat, near to the rear axle. I still do not know if I am gonna do it. And to finish, I extended the piece (I do not know the name in english, if french too actually lol) that goes front the front axle to the "frame",and a really quick mock up. thank you guys.

After almost 6 months, I am back to modeling. First, I would like to thanks everyone that replied to my post yesterday. Here is a quick mock up. I am gonna start to prime and paint the engine today. keep you guys update.

Hi guys, thank you everyone for your support. You all give me the courage to continue what I like. When I was building earlier today, I had fun. I have to accept that perfection is not reachable, and that mistakes will happen. Anyway, i am back to business now, and thanks to you guys Mickael

Hi guys, I left modeling about 6 month ago because of my frustation of trying things that never worked. after 6 month, I am back on the workbench but not in the same way... Now all I want is to have fun when I build even dough the resultats are not as good as I want. What about you?How do you react when you give your best and at the end it doesnt look good?

Thank you Jacob. I found this

LOL

Ok that is what I thought about the camouflage,etc.. I will try to redo it in a couple of days with your advices guys. Thanks

Thank you but I used Chris chapman Technique. That why I am asking you if it looks good to you? I did not say the technique did not work but if the result looks real? Cheers

As I am building a ratrod, I have tried to practice a rusty paint on a old body. But at the end, It doesn't look good to me. What do tou think? Mickael

Hi guys, I know there is a lots of techniques and products out there and tutorials,etc... But at the end, which one would give the best finish for a rat rod? Salt technique,hairspray, wearhering, sophisticated finishes??? I bought the paint Testors Rust,but it won't be enough to make it realistic I guess. I am kinda lost. Thank you

Thank you. I know is gonna be hard, i am packing up right now and on the forum at the same time,plus i try to fit some parts on the kit as well. Lol

bpletcher55; Thank you for the pics, it helps a lot, I didn't know this technique thank you Richard for your pics and advices. I think I am not gonna go with Z frame anymore at the front, and simply cut the wishbone in half, mounted on the frame and mont the front axle with a L bracket on the frame and adjust the height. Awesome Guys. I am also gonna open the roof, and do some carpentry after... Anyway, now is vacation time so I'll see you in 2 weeks. thank you Mickael
