I hope you're wearing eye protection when using those brushes.

I noticed today (12/19/19) he's 100 years old. CONGRATULATIONS!

I've heard them called Drafting Pens. A simple Google search showed these as examples

Very crisp & clean! Well done!

Instead of a piece of sprue, consider using a threaded bolt. Wrap the wire around the bolt and the threads will result in consistent spacing of the wire.

You can also cut off most of the shank of a pin vise and put the pin vise in the drill. That will let you use the smaller bits.

What scale? There is a resin kit in 1/43 (I think) available.

Very nicely done and just the right number of pictures.

Very nicely done.

While testing is underway, try brushing some thinned paint instead of using a Sharpie.

Lay down a piece of masking tape that's about 1/2" wide. Cut a slit in the tape, leaving about 1/2" on each end of the tape un-cut. Remove the tape and apply it where you want the stripe. Apply a fine-point Sharpie in the slit, then remove the tape. You might want to practice on a plastic soda bottle before you do the real thing.

Very nicely done and an excellent color choice. I take it the kit did not include an oil filter???

Sounds similar to the problem with TS-13 a few years back.

I regret bringing the one-plate topic up. This thread has altered course and seems to be focused on the one-plate issue, rather than the excellent work on the Dart.

Thanks, Steve. If I build another model, I'll stick with Florida plates.

In Florida, we only receive one plate.

Extremely well done! You captured the soul of that era. You're in Germany, so I can understand what happened: cars in Florida do not have a license plate in the front.

While it may not be rubber, the insulation from small electric wire might work. The whole wire could also be used for coiled tubing.

I guess I misunderstood

You might want to look elsewhere...this is a forum for model cars etc.

Go to the scene of a car wreck and pick up some pieces of red (amber too) plastic; sand & polish for tail lights and parking lights.

Very well done! It's refreshing to see a non-fuel injected "Vette.

Why not spray part of the sprue and see for yourself?

Get 10 of 'em...might help fight off the zombies.
