Zero Paints ( UK ) sell a great sealer or try your local Auto Paint supply/parts store for some sealer or etch primer... ???

Try Clearly Scale...

Check my reply in the linked section ???

GTP... I'm actually in the process of stripping/re-painting a 1:24 2013 Viper. I've done this kinda stuff before & it's pretty easy. I used ordinary paint stripper to strip off the baked on paint... Cleaned up the body/parts... Sanded back with 600-1000 (wet ) then used some etch-primer to seal it up... Because I have it in my paint stash, I'll be using 2Pk Urethane Clear coat... IMO the best clear-coating for any model... Metal or plastic. Try your local auto paint shop or maybe you have a mate that has some? Cheers

I think you'll be fine with 800-1000 grit ( wet or dry, wet being the better alternative ?) The issue, BEFORE, you start/add colour coats, would be to seal your final primer coats, after sanding ) From experience, putties, any type really, tend to shrink over time & in some cases become visible through the colour coats, especially true for "ghosting"... Areas where mold lines or emblems etc have been sanded off. Sealing will ensure that none of these problems will become visible through your colour coats, especially if you're using any type of automotive paints ( Duplicolor etc ) Hope this helps ??

Thanks Art... I've never tried the stuff but I may just in the future! ??

I managed to find an on-line store that had all 3 sizes for $3.50us each... I purchased all 3 sizes + shipping for $25au... About $18.80us. Happy days! ???

I didn't say I wouldn't but Martinfan has already mentioned HLJ has none in stock. I'm not worried about the actual price of the tape more so the price they want to charge to ship/post or Internationally!!

I wish it was that cheap! There's 2-3 sellers on eBay right now asking for between $20-31us per roll! Yes just 1 roll! The cheapest seller wants nearly $30au to ship it!! The other 2 want $30-40us to ship to Australia??!! WTF!?

Not really, no. They're for lexan bodies not really meant for resin or plastic ( kits ) .

None. Not interested.

Doesn't make any sense someone paying $40 Million for a rare Ferrari... But they DID... Does that make them an idiot? No. It make's them RICH.

Here's a video of it...

My bad... Was looking at the Chally on the right... Totally missed the Chally on the left ??

It's not the Liberty Walk kit ?

Very cool! Looks exactly like a showroom car! Well done!! Cheers

Saw these over the last 2 weeks... Aston Martin Vantage Owner also has a Porsche Cayenne Turbo S & a Merc' CL63 Wagon... All white with black wheels. Saw this SRT10 in a Northern beaches suburb, Dee Why, while visiting a friend last week... And saved the best 'til last... My 23yo nephew just got himself his first Mopar.... '68 440 Charger...

Dude that is just too sweet! Awesome replica!! I'm guessing here but will you be building a version of Dom's new ride... The 2000bhp Maximus Charger??? Cheers

They are masks for the windows... Once placed in the correct spots you can paint around them & not get paint on the clear area of the window.

If I'm not mistaken there is a pre-cut, ready to mask set available by Hobby Design. Search EBay for Ferrari F40 mask, in the toys/hobby catergory ??

Just heard... James Best AKA Sheriff Rosco P Coltrane has sadly passed away... Aged 88yrs. He's up there with his little fat buddy now.... ?

Couldn't agree more! Despite all the efforts by all the car manufacturers, there is NO stopping the inanity of stupid drivers.... That is a whole different kettle of fish.

Hi guys, this seems like the right place to ask, as you guys seem to know quite a bit about all this 3D scanning/making stuff & this Shapeways company? I'm not overly familiar myself & I'm not able to do any of this stuff for myself, so I'm hoping someone can help or point me in the right direction...? I'm really keen on getting some custom ( pro-touring styled ) wheels made in 1/24-1/25 scale for some future projects. There are at least 4-5 designs I'm keen on & would like them in a series of different sizes, 19/20/21 & possibly 22' inch. Getting at least 1 set each in all sizes. I'd like to know who would be able to do the scanning? Or is it programming? That I can then have made by Shapeways. I'd also like to know, roughly, how much it would cost per set? Also I have a friend that would be able to mold/cast them in resin, so is it possible to use the 3D sets to cast in resin, if I wanted more sets? Any & all help , regarding my query, would be very much appreciated ?? Thanks guys, Rod
