What a rust bucket! Do you plan to restore it? Seriously though, that's really impressive work.

That’s awesome! Made me smile!

There’s only one left near me too. About an hour away. And he’s pretty limited on things related to plastic models. More geared towards RC.

Maybe I could have been a little more clear too. What I’m really after isn’t “what do you use” or “what’s the best”. What I’m looking for is who’s got the best prices. Sorry for any confusion. Hey what can I say? I’m a cheap skate!?

Wow. This is probably the coolest version of this kit I've seen yet.

Awesome looking Olds! Nice job.

Don't knock it until you've tried it. Tastes great and helps to keep the peanuts in place on your ice cream!

Really nice! Is this the same as the Testors kit?

Really nice! I have a few of these in the stash. Always been a little intimidated to start one.

The discussion on Rustolium got me thinking. It seems the main reason most people (myself included) want to use paints like Rustolium, Krylon, etc, is price and convenience. I think most of us would agree that there are brands that are better quality, which give more consistent results. Tamiya and MCW come to mind. That being said, we all still want to get the best bang for our buck. So where do you get your “hobby specific” paint, and if you don’t mind telling, how much does it cost there? Please note- this thread is not meant to start an argument about cost. It’s intention is solely to provide information about where to get good prices for good paint. Thanks for your input!

Same here. And it doesn’t seem to matter what paint I’m shooting.

Lancia Stratos, one of my all time favorite cars. I just love the lines. And this one is gorgeous! Great job.

Looks awesome. Super clean build.

Gorgeous build. Your workmanship is outstanding.

Wow…. Just an amazing build! Love everything about this. It kinda reminds me of the concept cars of the 50’s.

That’s just awesome! And Young Frankenstein is one of my favorites. So many great lines!

So what’s with all the ‘29s lately? I’ll play though-

I’m not big on primer normally but that looks awesome! Great work.

Cool. I rarely hear of anyone mention Fort Wayne. I'm about half an hour north of there. We now resume your regularly scheduled thread, already in progress! ?

Great looking race car!

Cool car! I'm a huge Honda fan. Always wanted a Prelude.

Which Wal-mart was it? The one on Lima at the north end of town had models last time I was in there. Most around town don’t I don’t think.

That's a great looking old Ford. Nice job!

That undercarriage looks spectacular. Really nice use of panel liner or wash. Looks great.

I can’t speak for that specific car, but I think most factory stock vehicles back then were either black or red oxide, with body color over spray at the edges. I usually do a google search like “68 charger undercarriage” and look at the pictures. I’ll go with whatever I see the most of. Hope that helps.
