I have yet to use mine but the plating to me is great, spendy but worth it. Still hunting for big-n-little steelies with wide whites in 1/8th scale. He has some nice ones in most every other scale. May need to buy another kit to rob them from

Looking for some Big-n-Littles with wide whites on Steel wheels . 3dscale has some but not in 1/10th Thanks

With all the Chrome products out there I thought I would give them a bit of a comparison. I started with spoons primed black then gloss black. I compared Revell Spray, Molotov, SMS. Splash and Alclad. These may not be super accurate but good enough for me. I spayed the chrome coats , after a good drying time I applied alclad Klear. I was told Alclad did the best for Molotov ? Alclad Looks like aluminum, one on left was clear coated (as were all the rest) Molotov did its normal thing looks OK until cleared Reell looked the best until it was cleared SMS looked about the same as Alclad Splash another shiny aluminum when cleared I will give them some time and then check their durability This was not done under scientific methods and your results may very, But I did it for me and it is what it is.

I got a couple `1/16ths that I probably drop it into

Ordered one along with a Flattie Thanks

My plan was to build a Tommy Ivo T tribute, That calls for a Nailhead with injector stacks. Like the1/8th and 1/12th scale I all ready purchased. I am using the 1/8th Golden T as a donor and the 1/8th is to large and the 1//12th is to small . Hoping a 1/10 will work. My other build is a Kookie T tribute, also using a Golden T as a donor. I was going to use a similar Nailhead but I found a parts to make the kit engine work. I think Norms T had a Cad engine. Now finding some white pinstripes is another thing altogether. Trying to get as close to the original Ts as possible but will only be close, that's why I call them Tributes and not Replicas.

Just not the ones I need

Any Cadillac 354's in your future ?

I have purchased many of your engines and would love to get a couple of them in 1/10 should they come available.

I have bought several of his bodies and hoods over the years and his stuff is top notch. (still waiting for him to carry a chopped 34 3window)

I had a discussion about that and I don't think it is feasible enough for him Since this post I have talked to club member the prints drag engines and bodies and he could do it if he can find the files

Looking for a Large Scale 1/10 Buick Nailhead. I am working on a couple 1/8th Scale T Buckets and the 1/8th engines I got are to large for this application. I just tried a 1/12 scale thinking it might they might be a bit small but they are too small. Hoping 1/10 might work just unsure if anyone has any available. I know I could use the SBC that came with it but this build calls for a Nailhead.

Was it Autumn Poly or Adobe Beige ? MCW has a Autumn Gold in Lacquer or enamel and Adobe Beige in Laquear

Unfortunately it is molded in black. But thanks I will probably use that on a future build

Building a 1//8th scale T Bucket and I want the script on the tailgate and radiator housing white. Any tips on the best way to do this ? Than You

I build a lot of T Bucket projects and use evergreen square tubbing glue across from one side to the other with Canopy cement. Helps support the body and gives a handy spot to attach to when painting. Peels off when done.

I have tried both, I think I like the half round better but it may be tough to do Dimond Tuck.

Anyone now a source for 1/8th scale T Bucket pinstripes in white ?

I couldn't find much in the search but anybody have any experiance with FusionFirm Chrome paint ? In the video I did find it stated the clear coat was like Alclad Auqa Klear. The gold did not do so well as to shine

On todays news there was a story about local Hobby/Toys shops closing due to higher cost that included upcoming (?) tariffs. Just wondering about how this will effect our hobby in the near future ? Thoughts ?

Not to odd after owning a onedoor. And it is on the front.

Very good info there. I have 2 Iwatas , NEO & Eclipse, 2 Badger Patriots and a Passche H with a #3 tip. I normal use MCW lacquer or Createx Candy20 on 1/2th cars. My thoughts are with the larger paint surfaces do I need to use something larger ?

For those that paint LARGE SCALE, what size airbrush (or spray gun) do you recommend ?

Personally I would like to close this thread
