I started with the Bull Horn T with the thought to use the Uncertain T body. I did a bunch of modification to the frame to fit the new body. After reaching a point on doing the Uncertain T on another build in the future I decided to go back to the T Bucket body. In a (unsuccessful ) attempt to un-modify the frame I totally "Botched" it up. Does anyone make a T Bucket frame in 1/16th ? At this point scratch building may be my only choice. Thanks Jon

Taking bets on Rust-Oleum / Testors paint.

I don't use Rust-oleum unless I decant it. I have had to many cans clog up about half way thru them. -
Tape Residue Frustration
Jon Haigwood replied to That Plasticated Guy's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I had this problem once and discover the letting it dry in the dehydrator it heated up the tape and left the residue. I use Lime Wire and 3M 471 for the edges and Tamiya to cover the rest. Won't find them at Walmart. Nothing with tape goes in the dehydrator. -
Removing MCW paint ?
Jon Haigwood replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I am going to do some spoon trials with MCW , Createx Auto Borne sealer and some Duplicover (as mentioned above) primers and treat it like my regular process. I will steel wool the spoons first. I have never had this "chip out" problem before, only with MCW. I am hoping it is just needing better prep work. -
Looking for the best way to remove MCW paint . I have tried the Purple Pond and it doesn't seem to touch it. The reason I need to remove it is that the primer doesn't stick to the plastic and if I use tape it pulls the paint off when I remove it even Bare-M-Foil will chip the paint off down to bare plastic. Not sure if I need to do more prep work or use a different primer ? I am using MCW primer.

I also read where you mount two blades in an Exacto knife put some thing between them as a spacer and cut the tape. On the two occasions I tried it I got curves instead of straight.

The narrowest good tape that I have found Lime Line at 1/16 that would be 1 1/2" to scale
