Painting tests for new colors
mod3l Lover replied to mod3l Lover's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Well, I tried it on clear plastic and chrome. It's NO GOOD for the clear plastic! All it does is etches into the clear real bad. But it looks ok on chrome, but light mist coats are whats needed. I put it on too heavy. My plan is to do some spare valve covers and see how that looks. Photos below- David S. -

Paul, I love that Icon/Avatar thingy photo you have there by your name! Is that the "Theory of Mazdativaty"? -
Painting tests for new colors

I am going to try it on kit clear glass part later today. Cato, I will try to pay attention to the smell later, the can does not say one way or the other. But I'm guessing lacquer, but not a hot mix! BTD, I didn't see a black color, but they have a green I will try soon on the top of a windshield to see how that looks! One thing I thought about was the use for gassers and customs for color tinted windows, headlight lenses, and ? I am going try it on chrome also today! David S. -

Yes Paul, just rattle cans that I used! And thanks, I'm quite pleased with it too. My plan is to paint my 2015 Mustang kit with the color that has the silver base coat. David S. -
I noticed a new type of paint at Hobby Lobby when I was there Saturday. The paint is sold as a spray on stained glass paint for craft use. But since it was clearly (no pun intended) a transparent type paint, I just had to try it over a couple base colors. Metallic silver and gold were my base colors that I tried today on spoons. The paint is cobalt blue stained glass paint. In the last photo the silver base color is on the left, and the gold on the right. I only waited 20 minutes before putting the color tint on top! And no clear so far. David S.

ambitious paint '41 Willys Pro Street curbside-ish
mod3l Lover replied to Rider's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I think I saw Tommy Chong driving a car just like that!! Anybody want some ice cream? (nice dreams!?!) David S. -
Yeah that looks great indeed! I had a friend years ago who had a yellow/ tan top '69. At first I didn't like it, but then it grew on me. David S.

Wow Steve, That looks just right, I love a clean custom build. You nailed it on that one for sure! David S.

Oh yes!! That's gonna be great. Watching and waiting, David S.

I love it, that's all I can say! David S.

Yes, I was hoping it was a slant six! And I learned a while back that they made a Hi-Pro version of the 225 six just for Police Specials. David S.

Chris is right, you would be amazed at the things that you find in various departments at craft stores. The items I have found that are for jewelery making, fabrics, etc. can be used in so many ways. Seek and ye shall find! David S.

It looks great! A little filling, filing, and creative knife work, and she's gonna be a beauty. David S.
-
That combo kit is one of my dream finds! It would be nice if it could be re-released some how, some day, some where! But maybe the molds got lost, damaged, altered, etc.? I will be watching for sure. David S.

Ok! I think that will be cool. David S.

She's a keeper for sure! David S.

mod3l Lover replied to Dennis Lacy's topic in WIP: Drag Racing Models
Aahhhh, . . yes!! That's just right for sure. I like the 4 pooper in the mix as well. That is a well thought out motor for that car. Watching with best regards, David S. -
Oooohh!! Nice!! Great detail there, gonna be cool. Love dem Fords, David S.
-
I think it looks very cool!! Can't wait for the progress as it goes along. So this will have a truck bed then? Here is a '34 Ford truck I'm doing with a 6" + 4" chop on it to create the angle I wanted. ( In scale inches I mean ) David S.

What does the cover art print look like? I want that version for the print and well, . . . . of course the kit! A pic of the decals would be super cool also if you don't mind!?! Looks like it's going to be a great build!! I will be watching in personal envy. David S.

Sounds to me like you need a Boss 429 or maybe a 427 Cammer motor in that car. A few injector tubes sticking out of the hood!?! But I'm sure it will be great however you do it!! David S.
