How to get a good white paint job?
GLMFAA1 replied to Sonorandog's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ford Wimbledon white is an off white color not a snow white color. Just used DupliColor Wimbledon white spray. I use flat white primer and gloss it for my black & white cop cars. greg -

looking through E Bay I came across this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/374775733842?hash=item57425fde52:g:sgQAAOSwJxpkmJjg&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAAwPq1XnkH3eAnytNzAJNhWYqwNa%2Fwqd5T9Fg3PRSdZZdLdQV79IiXpMNEmmU1HabLO1UAZPy8T%2BZTMlnsqER8Ym27aZPpjc3R57jM7XrHPLUqBNx7dVDcnPJapwbD8MjFIuVHVwU8qSoeTiHGz1f4cAUr072zpwoTgkglW0YGlJQA93lImEOaq9CU2p8tzihhUbowO9Pk4xS4%2BwbktNSAsVB6dhMxsPv1KJ2B4UgjEyee0zTemp9lxVJuXW%2Be9kL%2Bhg%3D%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR9DTmPueYg Anybody hear of this? looks like a Camaro kit. Box top art states kit unable to build. You woulda thunk that they would have thrown in all kinds of mismatch parts in the box. greg

That looks like your at your finest. I bet the vents were put in on different shifts at the factory. Laverne was told left side hinge and Shirley was told right side hinge. Have an APB out at local hobby shops for spring material. greg -
Grinding Out Model Car Grills for more realistic look
GLMFAA1 replied to carl63_99's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
My choice is to use the Dremel drum sanders for the rough out work, then files and then the X-Acto blades. Also have tungsten carbide spear shaped grinding bit that works really well at low speed. My Dremel is a stylus 1100 cordless. greg -

Changing Gears

Jeff: Turn the top suction hose around as when firefighters unload the hose they don't need to turn it around to connect the two together. Remember the cab is a tilt cab so room has to be left for the arc of the tilt. Also to Steve your right about building fire apparatus. I have had over 50 years of joy building them. greg -
Was just browsing the threads and read the one about the telephone booth and it reminded me of the old playboy cartoon of the drunk in a phone booth and on the phone. He was leaning out of the booth with receiver in hand saying he was at the corner of telephone and telephone. greg

Calling it almost done. (waiting on more decals) The AMT Chevy van, Scratch built .040 evergreen sheet box with 040 quarter rounds on roof edge. curbside with no interior detail except kit parts. Johan radio console placed into doghouse, AMT TwinSonic light bar, Jewels for side scene flashers. Decals by Charlie. Paint is Walmart spray can, stripe is Testor's red (Insignia or guard's). Dual wheel rims made from backing rim put in front of regular rim, sanded off edge of regular rim so tire would slide over it. High top ambulance was built from original kit that had the optional side pieces. Was rehabbed last year. Building tip: I used 5 minute epoxy for the taillights. I mixed Tamiya clear red into the epoxy when mixing A & B then just dropped into the holes I drilled for the taillights,back up light just plain epoxy. greg

Chevy van type III ambulance
GLMFAA1 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
OK guys: I took a Johan stretcher, and Prieser bather, sitting figure and 'Linc' and put them on the roof then shot the picture with the body on the spec sheet that I got the measurements from. You can see that there is room, though not much it would be there. greg -

I don't think this will be the end, I foresee a flat bed trailer with a Sherman tank on it? greg -

Well Pilgrim: Duke's truck
GLMFAA1 replied to GLMFAA1's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Thanks for the tip but I went to Model Roundup and got a photo etch set for the kits. Got it on the model and some extra stuff like the dash logo, radio surround, rear cab utility light, door locks, and the side ranger logos. greg
