Nice save Steve. Glad you were able to get it back together without too much trouble. Would have been a shame if it had damaged that beautiful finish.

Line 'em up, shoot 'em down.

Exactly what I was thinking.

That 2-door is awesome.

Again and again we just keep coming back for more.

In light of that, it’s best to base options on facts.

Today is the day I’ll post something here.

I’m hoping to make it this year. Anybody else going?

Band of Brothers has been brought up in this thread before, I think.?

I’m thinking about picking up some paint from both companies, both lacquer and enamel and doing some testing. I noticed both companies also have a hardener for their enamels. That might be worth a look too. Thanks for your input Steve. Much appreciated.? I’m really looking forward to finally getting an airbrush back in my hands. It’s been a long time coming.

@StevenGuthmiller - I know you use MCW too. Do you have a preference? Just curious.

Can I get an amen brothers and sisters!

Point taken. Primarily I'm interested to see what you all use for painting bodies, but anything goes really. I'll be shooting the majority of the parts anyway., and probably only brush painting small details. That's what I did before we moved here. Thank you all for your input. Very much appreciated. I'm planning to start off trying out Scale Finishes. Looks like they have a huge selection, and I hear good things about their products.

Flea market find. Lots of tires, engines, and other miscellaneous stuff.

Nap time is wasted on children in school and should be allowed for working adults.

Next thing you know, someone else will probably post here.

Is that a dare? ?

Somehow those movies still pack them in.

Gun in hand, he walks the land.

I remember seeing your post in another thread with models in the ceiling. That looks absolutely awesome. Actually measured the spacing of my floor joists after seeing it. I could probably make it work, but the spacing is pretty wide. Might have to revisit that one again.?

After about eight years of not airbrushing, I’m finally getting ready to get back into it. I’m basically set up now, but I’m still in the process of reorganizing the basement. Probably have about another week to go of that. When I stepped away from airbrushing, I was using testors square bottle and MM paint, all of which were enamel. Many of the top brands you hear about now weren’t around yet. And if they did exist, I wasn’t in the know about them. Now there are so many options! So what I want to know is: 1- What’s your favorite type of paint? Lacquer, enamel, or acrylic? 2- What is your favorite brand? 3- And finally, why? Looking forward to getting your input and really looking forward to firing up the compressor!

Some pretty good ideas here. Thanks everyone for your input. I really appreciate it. @Carmak I just have to say it. Nice stash! You’ve got some really great stuff there.?

I really like that color on this car. Well done!?

Wow, sharp car. That looks great. Nice clean build.?

Man that looks great. Very clean build.?
