Wow, that is some great looking weathering, very realistic. I know that is not the purpose of your post, thanks for the heads up. I have used it on occasion and have yet to have any issues. But, that does not mean it may not come to pass.
Another question concerning embossing powder. I was at Hobby Lobby looking for embossing powder and found the small jars. Right next to them is a larger jar of larger embossing powder https://www.hobbylobby.com/search/?text=embossing+powder&quickview=13638 . Has anyone tried this? Would like to know if the larger size would be out of proportion for carpet before plunking down $8 + for a bottle (using 40% coupon).
Beautiful tanker, as mentioned, that finish is really sweet. Could you show some close-ups of the pump assembly, or better yet maybe a WIP on how you did it?
Very nice looking old-style rod. I have seen that exhaust treatment on pictures of other 1:1's from the era. Never understood how they would protect the paint from blistering. Anyhow, you caught the very essence of the era with this build. Sure wish Revell would rerelease those wheels and tires.
Very excellent T-Bird. Your patience and building skills are evident by turning this somewhat sow's ear of a kit into a very fine silk purse. Gives me some incentive to dig mine out of the stash.
Thursday I wore a T-shirt to work, it was in the high 70's tickling the 80's; this morning I will need to wear my overcoat to church it is 24 degrees. And they are predicting a possible wintry mix for overnight, glad I have tomorrow off. It will be a good day to begin on reconstructing my basement work space after having some drainage work done down there.
I have used those quite often. Another good source is to go to your nearest sign maker. Many of them use different thicknesses of styrene and have barrels full of scrap pieces and will sell them fairly reasonable. The pieces may not be square, but are usually large enough to cut some usable pieces.
These have been in the magazine for years. There have been some very talented artists submissions, and yes, plenty of inspiration for builds. I have a couple in mind to build, when I get around to them.
