Tamiya clear paints are the best.. from left to right...smoke , blue , green , yellow , orange and red

Plastruct Clear has no texture .

i been using auto primers for many years..you must do like to sand after u prime..go down to Walmart they will have what u need..

no need to strain it ever time...it don't hurt a thing...after u soak a few then do it..

probably some of the thick paper shop towels , but open for suggestions

No Dan, i'm building it for someone..

i been working on this for a little while ..i started with a moebius trailer .cut the sides down to 6ft..made it a spread axle set up..the hoppers are scratch built along with the tarp rails ladders and steps..hoping to get paint on soon then gotta make the tarp setup..

i talk to him quite often..he did move and is up running again..your best bet would to look him up on Facebook under Plaskit..or u can find him here also..Building Big Rigs..Tips and how did you do it..

warm water should do it..after u re shape it hold it under cold water..

all u need to do is primer it gray

this is a great place to find airbrush and compressors, water traps , regulators ,fittings, hose,etc.. u can buy complete set ups here also....TCPGlobal | eBay Stores

their are so many places you can get supply's and kits from..Hobby Lobby has great prices with a discount coupon on their web site ..eBay u can find just about anything that u can think of..just do a search for what ever u are looking for ..tools ,kits, air brush, glue's etc..i buy most all what i need their.. every builder has their one ideals on the best place's to buy ..some may cost more than others..remember just because it may be a cheaper brand doesn't mean its not a great product..you can also check micro mart out that will give you some ideals...https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwjP2aiWhuPQAhXCfiwKHRaHBr8QFgggMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.micromark.com%2F&usg=AFQjCNHSIyUrwW2wYO1cdzDIUx2arMs3Dw&sig2=KfHa-5NvKPtIk406MfK3yg

welcome aboard Jim..they is a great model car and truck show in Spring around the end of July-Aug...

if paint hasn't been thinned yet u will need to do this before u can spray in your airbrush..once its thinned use a paint strainer u can get at a lumber yard or hardware store..panty hose works great also..then just add to your air brush bottle..

been using then for years..just wipe off with a paper towel..when it stops up cut of tip..

Bill said it all...

thanks Dan ,see u in LC...

thanks Dan..No i will probably never enter anything in the LC show again. leaving it up to all u guys , tired of the IPMS BS ..i had one their last year that didn't place ..all scratch built..took it to Dallas and won a 1st ,Best Paint-Weathering , and Best in Show...

thanks Kevin .. i did it with a cigarette lighter .(you can also use a candle) just hold the stack a inch or so away and let it soot it up ..if u want it to stay on u can spray it with some flat clear coat..now this was done on aluminum tubing. i have never tried it on plastic..

got a picture ?

i been building for 50 years and still learn from my mistakes..a couple tips for you tho..#1 if you are using any kind of tube glue ,get rid of it and find you a good liquid or ca glue that u like and stick with it..they are so many out their to chose from ..#2 for windshields-glass testors makes a white glue that is great... also Elmer's glue all works the same ..if you get any on where it isn't suppose to be a small brush and water will take it off while wet..and don't give up on building u will get their..on last tip go to u tube and look up building plastic models cars or trucks or anything about modeling building and u will find some videos that will surely help you..

you sure u shook it long enough ? you have to shake it at the least 2 minuets and the can has to be over 70 degree ..
