Looks fantastic. I really didn't think the color combo would work but you really brought it all together when finished. ๐๐๐

I don't usually do other peoples cars but I did do a version of Cushenberry's Limelighter. -
Does anyone offer these wheels in 1/24 or 1/25?
Can-Con replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was thinking they looked very "Mercedes", Les. I'd love to build a lowered G-Wagon with those wheels. ๐ -

Can-Con replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
These look pretty close Monty. Don't know if they're close enough though. Problem is this pic is from an NNL 15 years ago so no idea where they came from , , but at least you know there's something out there. -
We see "nothing I want" posts in these threads all the time, why is it different now?

Well, they certainly ain't in Kansas anymore, Toto. ๐

Um, OK, I've never been to either L.A. or Vegas but isn't that the Vegas Strip, not the Sunset Strip?๐คจ But, anyway, nothing there I don't already have but it would have been nice to see the new decals in the '53 Ford pickup , , and they didn't mention the mini-tubbed bed in the Elky , , Again. ๐

Superglue just sits on the surface, doesn't burn into the plastic like solvent based glues do. You should easily be able to wet sand with fine grit and polish it out like new with some some polishing compound. A polishing kit will make short work if it if you have one. I've done this on more occasions then I'd care to admit. I've even polishing the glue off while the glass in still in the body. ๐

I wet sanded the clear getting ready for a second coat. Was making a mold of the bumpers earlier so I could cast a few sets for myself and I must have contaminated my hands with mold release and didn't get it all of and transferred it to the sand paper. That's my best guess anyway, that's what it looked like when I sprayed the second coat of clear.

Probably could save it but do you really want to put that much effort into something as common as dirt? I'd just get a fresh kit.

Better to stop on a green then run a red. ๐

I have just hit the $25 million Jackpot
Can-Con replied to Mike 1017's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Mike, again, If that was mailed from Canada I urge you to report it to the Canadian government link above. Doesn't matter if you're in the U.S., they'll definitely want to know about it. I suspect the local police and whoever else will take one look at it, have a laugh and chuck it in the garbage. -
Build it. It's pretty common. Might end up being worth a couple bucks more then a correct one but ,IIRC, not worth the bother. All the people planning to sell them off to bankroll their retirements are going to be sorely disappointed. ๐

There's several of these on the latest AMT '29 Woddy kit sheet.

1931 Cadillac V16 Convertible Coupe, Jo-Han, 1/25
Can-Con replied to Matt Bacon's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I'll be following along on this one Matt. I have the other two Jo-Han '31 Caddys but not this one. I keep thinking I'll tackle one when I have the skills up to the task. -
