MCW(Model Car World) Enamels
Nicholas replied to crowe-t's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
i use MCW paints as my go to paints,mostly the enamel line,i also use their hardner with it always drys within 24 hrs,..not forever and a day like the old testor ,i dont use a dehydrator either i use there 1-k clear,and also add hardner to that,..gives a wicked shine/finish!,..the mcw enamel paints come out so well for me that sometimes i dont need clear,and do not clear it after paint,hope this helps. -
Paint Strippers - What to Use?
Nicholas replied to pbj59's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
my go to"s for lacquer paint are super clean,works great on tamiya paint,and works fast,and 93% alcohol ,but for enamel paints (my MCW brand sprayed with hardner and clear) i used brake fluid but it took forever and a day to loosen the paint!...next up is easy off oven cleaner! -

how do you get a hold of him?

i have recently ventured into the vinyl tops ,i used thin.025 styrene glued to the model for the trim/overlaps, then use MCW either black or white textured spray,comes out looking great.
-
any truth to this rumor?...i have been looking on you tube/facebook and all around to see if its true,but cant find a thing?
-
is that a rebop of the earlier revell kit that came out in the 90's?..or is it all new?..i have the earlier version with the pic of the real car on the box and was wondering whats the differance?
-
got some parts from him a couple weeks back,good stuff,just a fyi it usually takes him about 2/3 weeks to ship pars so dont get discouraged.

Has anyone bought parts from Moluminum.com?
Nicholas replied to AussieTrekkie's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers

its ben a while since i built one but if i remember they tend to sit high,i have one in the works but not that far along for suspension,...on a off topic question where do you get the backdrops for the model pics? i see it a lot on here with peoples finished models,looks like a dealership or garage?...looks very cool!
