  1. WOW , Love the detail! Do you have a link or magazine issue?
  2. Update: So in 2016 I tried the dremmel and it clipped the edge on the top of the roof and the dremmel bounced off the top gouging two deep pits in the paint into the plastic....so I rage quit!! Fast forward to today. I found an Silentaire Scorpion II-TTat a garage sale. Never used, brand new in box. The owner was asking $50 for it. we started talking about it and I have never heard of the brand and he knows nothing about airbrushing. He got it as a gift. I offered him $20 in toonies (wife keeps change for garage sales). He replied only if I actually use it..... So here we are today. I dusted of this Mach 1 box, pulled out some 800, 1000, 2000, grit sand paper and went to work. (no Pics sorry) I re-sprayed the best match of the colour I could do and gave it a clear coat. wet sand again and polish by hand. Its not as smooth as I like but I'm not touching the dremmel for a while lol. Question? What does everyone use to host their photos? Photobucket seems messed up!?
  3. @‌KiwiMike looks great! @‌vamach1 ya my local Shop was out and he was having a hard time getting that's the main reason why its been a over a year for any progress @‌Travis T Thanks for the info, but i'm not going to go into that much detail For this project i'm going to try a lot of new things I have never done before. first will be sanding and polishing. I bought some really good nail polishing kit. Gonna give that a try and then the dremmel. I'd also like to try bare metal foil and I want to try some engine detailing. All new territory! Thanks for watching
  4. WOW that's gorgeous!! I quit now! The paint is Vallejo, Used in my air brush. I'm not sure the colour as I mixed it. not sure I can replicate it
  5. Over the holidays I had time you work on this model. I couldn't find Grabber Orange so I found something close. I would have made more progress but after spraying on the clear coat The model fell off the stand while drying and messed it up. I had to sand it smooth and re-spray the clear coat. This is the result so far. I have read a really good Tutorial on polishing and I cant wait to try it
  6. That's just incredible, those are the skills that I only dream of
  7. ^^^x2 I'm watching this great resource pics
  8. Sooo, I've been searching for days now and I can't seem to find a good tutorial on engine detailing. I have never done engine detailing and thought I'd give it a go. I bought some wire that I think is a good scale for spark plug wires. But I would like to read or watch a few tutorials. Any links would help alot Thanks
  9. I had to google Model Car Garage... Thats some pretty cool stuff. I never realized they did stuff like this soo much detail. you could carried away and spend alot on a project
  10. Thanks for the link guys, But I already started. I will keep them for future. I will give it another coat then I'll take some pictures
  11. Thanks for all the comments, @Monty, If I have the opportunity I'd buy Both, lol. @MsDano85gt yup It's a pretty cool kit @PappyD340 I think I would do that if I find another kit, But for now one at a time So far the Mach 1 is leading Here's more to add to the debate, Pics: Mach 1: Boss 302: Modified Boss 302: Either way, It's going to be Grabber Orange... Which I couldn't find anywhere! So I'm gonna mix it myself. It will be trial and error.
  12. So I purchased this kit and decided to give it a go I haven't done much yet and most of my progress will be slow due to Life Stuff. If your patient with me you might enjoy the ride. <= car joke So first thing I did was drill out the door handles I then primed it (no pics of that) My real Issue is what to build!! Do I build the Mach 1, the Boss 302 or a Modified Boss 302? Here is the 351ci Mach 1 Engine vs the Boss 302 Engine Keep watching
  13. Here are some pics of my Chevelle that I've been working on with my nephew. Still waiting for him to come over to finish it
  14. Thanks for the welcome. Been going through Tips and Tricks section so many articles, hard to find what I'm looking for. Alot of good stuff there
