I tried some over half of this old Ford. It hadn't been painted but it had been clearcoated. Didn't lift the clearcoat. I'll try it on a painted one too.

Bought this today. I wonder if it is the same thing?

I have that Rolls too Bowser and it didn't survive the various moves very well. Initially, I was just going to repair it but after seeing yours, it is slated for a complete restoration. Thanks for the inspiration.

Good, because that is what my supplier has. Pat

Re. the master cylinder: are you going to have the lines and brake light pressure switch? -
I am working on a 1967 Mustang with resin body. I had washed it thoroughly in Dawn soap water to get rid of the manufacturing deposits. I used Duplicolor primer and it came out kind of blotchy, see below. The hood is different because it is styrene. I have heard of using Bleche Wite for this but that doesn't appear to be available here, same as Future. Can't find either of them. So should I strip and start again or is it safe to proceed? I realize it isn't much to go by. I might be able to provide better photos if necessary.

Again, it won't let me write below the quote. Are they all different scales from tiny to huge? You may have more than they made.

Which lens for model car photos (Canon EOS 400D)
landman replied to peekay's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Ordered this one today: -
Took the Trans Am body I had primed the other day along with the airbrush, the can of paint that was in the trunk of the Mustang and set up un top of the router table. Hooked up the dust collector to it and went at it. This is my first use of the airbrush in at least 15 years other than trying it out the other day. I got this result, glossy orange peel along with a very unpleasant buzz. And that was with the dust collector sucking the overspray and wearing an organic vapors rated respirator. So that will definitely not be the paint I'll use. Rummaging session coming up.

Thanks. I'll try some.

Thank you. I found a suitable one. -
Nice job Chris. About the hinges. I looked at them on their website and can't figure them out. Are they user friendly or is it something for the pros? Do you have photos of during the build? Pat

Which lens for model car photos (Canon EOS 400D)

Could someone post a picture of a lightbox. I need to make one. Thanks. -
I've decided to make some sort of back ground to take photos in or in front of. It'll go here, on an old sewing machine cabinet, next to the door to my shop. It'll be open on two sides and above to allow some lighting. I know that in time I'll be asked to get it out of there so I'm making it so it can be dismantled easily. I cut two gooves into the base to hold the walls and made a locking block to keep them in place. The easy part being done, I primed the floor then I'll "pave" it with 150 grit sandpaper which will likely be painted gray. I was thinking of decorating this as a spare room of an engine rebuilding shop, with shelves, benches, blocks & trannies laying around.

I'm good for two more shelves. -
Recycling the bookcases.
landman replied to landman's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Tom, we have this one but she tells me it is hands off for models. We have a few spots where I could put a curio but there are chairs and other things we never use there. So that is why I snuck'em in the bookcase. -
Thanks bill.

I guess I may as well learn to do that too. The hobby shop I deal with, recommends Smooth-on products. I see they're in the aftermarket list above. Any opinions?
