How did this kit compare to AMT's "The Deuce" other than the chopped top ?

Yeah they can get wild

I read something years ago about using BMF to make a mold of emblems, door handles and the like and then filling them with something to make a duplicate . May be sprue glue or something similar. I will try and hunt that down. May in one of my old Model Mags

I had a Isetta but it didn't look like that. Of course it was a 600 and that one is a 300

The body now is molded in the purple . I am doing some modifications on the front and will be putting on a primer then I will most likely be painting it a similar purple (Plum Crazy). I depending on the paint I may clear over that. I am trying not to apply so much paint that I obscure the details.

On one of my current builds I am going to paint a Testers Challenger that came pre-finished. If I can I would like to preserve the fender emblems and maybe the gas cap so they will still look the same after I paint the body. I thought maybe if I coated them with Windex or something else I could remove the coating after the painting and then clear coat. I am sure this has been done at one point by at east one of you knowledgeable Chaps. Any tips would be greatly appreciated Thanks Jon

I couldn't agree any more with that

The big problem with the disc camera was hat the negative was so small the pictures had terrible resolution and the pictures were grainy.

My Granddaughter is planning on taking photography next year and they start out with 35mm. I had to dig out my old Pentax K1000 for her. I did find a couple of exposed discs in a drawer awhile back. I found that I would have to send them overseas to get them developed at about $50 a disc. Not going to happen.

Good to know Since I'm 65 I must be above average

whats the best primer for their lacquer paint ?

What I meant by "satin" was a semi gloss overcoat not "satin" the material. If you were to overcoat it would want a high gloss, gloss or semi gloss. Apparently you are saying that an overcoat of any kind would change the textures appearance. My fault for the confusion between the two "satin's"

Clear with satin finish or gloss?

Looks Great . Not sure why "Ahab the Arab" song started playing in my head ?

I'm thinking something similar to this, but maybe updated some http://www.rocketfin.com/model_car_links.html

I have used this on several occasions Thanks you for starting it. Put me down for another YES for a sticky with a list of after market suppliers and what they offer. I spend lots of time searching for stuff on the interweb. I once found a site that did have that list but have lost the link somehow

"I'm not worthy" "I'm not worthy" . Trying to learn guitar at 65 with sausage fingers and a short pinky. I picked up a Yamaha acoustic to start with but have since switched to a Ukulele

Everybody has their own idea of "cool" but for me that ain't it. Looks like some kind of racing setup. as for the video, 17 minutes of street cars revving up is a bit BORING.

paper your hobby room wall with them

Great idea , putting them together then framing them and putting them on the wall. Never knew there were so many car themed puzzles out there. Thanks for the links and idea

They do come in handy for dioramas
