Depends on the paint and how long it was allowed to cure. Years ago, I rattlecanned a Revell '67 Chevelle with MM Arctic Blue Metallic and put it aside for about a year. I later pulled it out and the paint was rock hard and glossy. I used Novus 2 to i,prove the finish and I didn't have any problems with the flakes swirling.

Cindy Adams, like the coelacanth, is considered a living fossil. Only in New York, kids....

I prefer multiple thin coats to single heavy layers. This minimizes the possibility of obscuring details. Psst, Pete........Say howdy to Lena the Hyena from Lower Slobbovia....hubba-hubba! AH-OO!

There's a better and more detailed tutorial at Uschi van der Rosten.

I'm so glad you brought up "creative arts". Everybody's favorite pinneped, Artie the Seal sez

Paint the base with an acrylic paint, such as Vallejo Model Color 70.834 Natural Wood Grain apply clearcoat (flat/semigloss/gloss, it doesn't matter), followed by a wash of Vallejo Model Color 70.828 Woodgrain Use a water dampened cloth and lightly wipe the darker color off, following the grain. There will be enough residual paint left in the recessed areas to impart a wood-like appearance.

ICM released 1/35 and 1/24 versions of its Mercedes G4. If the bus sells well, Roden might be inclined to release a 1/24 version in the future.

Dat's wot I'm talking about. K.I.S.S. ?

Molotow is an ink. Do you have any MM Metalizer around?

Just enough to lightly coat the wheels. When you see a slight shine, stop.

This is becoming ponderous. Buy a paint booth or build your own. You guys build models, so, constructing a simple paint booth will be a piece of cake. Even an idiot like me can do this. It's nothing more than a box with exhaust fans. It'll cost you around 40 bucks in materials, including two 4.7" 110v axial fans. Mount the fans on a board, fit the board to an adjustable window screen, place the constructed box on a small table and slide it against the window sill behind the fans and paint. I live in an apartment and manage to do this. No fumes from enamels, lacquers or acrylics; additionally, it's never to cold or humid to paint.

Frame dimensions of 1967 Impala, 1969 Grand Prix and 1970-72 Monte Carlo: 1967 Impala 1969 Grand Prix 1970-72 Monte Carlo The '67 Impala looks like the closest match.

The '66-'69 Rivieras are X-frames, which wouldn't be accurate. The AMT '67 Impala (119" wheelbase) uses a box frame similar to the Grand Prix. Changing the front upper and lower control arms would be required, at the very least.

1966-69 Rivieras had a 119" (119mm in 1/25) wheelbase. That extra 1mm is negligible if you want to use the chassis. I'd suggest the AMT '66 Riviera chassis since it has separate suspension and exhaust parts.

Going through an email from MotionRC, I saw this: Kyosho Fazer Mk2 FZ02L 1967 Pontiac GTO Champagne Metallic 1/10 Scale 4WD Car - RTR

Brass and copper oval tubing is available from K & S and other suppliers. . No crimping or crushing required. Just cut the required length.

If you have the MPC and AMT/ERTL kits, why would you want to get the Airfix version? Aside from the cost, they're the same kit. I'm just asking, Ray.

Nah, just kidding about Cold Slugs. Bush Tetras was a real band, though.

The Cold Slugs opened for the Bush Tetras at CBGB's back in 1980.

Note to Dave: You're getting caught up in analysis paralysis. You'll never accomplish anything by overthinking. The K.I.S.S. principle rules. An Italian proverb to consider: "Le meglio è l'inimico del bene" The best is the enemy of good.

Wassamatta U? You might consider it picking nits; however, everyone has a rivet-counting obsession with the minutiae at some level of the hobby. You're never too old to learn correct terminology.

So did I.

I'm sure saying "engine part thing" for "carburetor" is acceptable because technically, it is.
