hello all! i have a question, probably been answered before and dumb, so sorry , but i have always painted my models with spray cans, no polish etc.. i have painted real cars and i was wondering about painting models with an airbrush.touch up gun..etc. 1 what are the pluses? aside from mixing your ouwn colors. 2 what should i by? i guess i need a new compressor and gun! mine is a little to big!( 1:1)! but i can't spend a lot! (right now)3- i have lots of models already painted and clear coated (model master clear) what is a wax i can use to protect and make dusting easier? 4 is polishing a model the same as a real car, as far as wet sanding, polishing? i know how to do the real thing but i am a little scared with my models! my models are shinny but i want more! thanks for any help and sorry for all the questions!

thanks i just cut open an old pillow! i still want to get some better ones...soon!

hello all i was just wondering, i have read in the mag. and on here the term "curb side". what is this? i am guessing just a model built to see from the outside, no detail on motor etc. is this what it sounds like, or am i tryin to think to hard(ouch)!!!! thanks jeryd

yea she has already been hinting about that! but it will be fun to see just what he will do as far as numbers and paint. thanks for looking.

thanks guys pretty cool stuff! i never thought my models were worth showing anybody , (good enough) thats why it took so many years of my wife telling me to show them, (i don't like negative critisism on my stuff i build real cars or models, so i just keep them to me, i guess it can sometimes be good to hear negative things it makes all of us better but its never fun! they are built for me by me and my own way!) thanks all for looking and a long lost cousin???? !!!!!!!!! lol u never know lol!

thanks guys! and yes she does let me build more if i build her some models! it works out pretty good !( as u can see in for me!) she loves them all ! thanks for looking. it means a lot. jeryd
