  1. sweet build!
  2. i use the mcw paints and i use the hardner to speed drying time,i also mix it with mr hobby self levelling thinner or mcw thinner(self levelling also),that gives me the glossy look,...people use auto motive hardner/catalyst for same results such as finish line products(sherwin williams brand) if you use your testors/model master paints i would suggest thinning them with mr hobby levelling thinner,..you will get the same results.
  3. Thank you ! Hopefully I can get it done in time
  4. As the title says I am in the midst of a instagram build off that ends at end of November, to say this thing has been kicking my butt is an understatement! Had the body all painted ready to clear , and was unmasking it and dropped it on my concrete floor it chipped the paint on the front right fender have the numerous attempts of trying to match it. I ended up spraying the whole body lol anyway it has more rims on it , a fab -9 inch ford rear and a small block tunnel ram, I built a roll cage for it, hopefully going to finish it by the end of this month when it ends here is my progress so far IMG_4677.mov
  5. looking good so far Zippi!
  6. I took a break from muscle car building and jumped on some street rod projects, all bodies are drag city, castings, resin chopped ones. I am using iceman collections 3-D printed dropped front axles, and a dropped frame and some 3-D printed engines , and some tires /wheels from them as well, these will eventually be painted with tropical glitz metallic colors work in progress at the moment.
  7. i always use enamels,preferrinf MCW paints,and i always use their hardner mixed in with it,..with that said i always wait one week,sometimes longer if im doing other projects,and after a week you cant smell the strong lacquer thinner/enamel smell any more,then i wet sand/polish
  8. cool build,it gives me some ideas!
  9. great build! those radir wheels are perfect for that!
  10. not sure it has been mentioned but the show i was at last weekend a lot of people had 4-5 inch circle vanity mirrors with 4 small medicine cups and the car sitting on them...pretty neat and simple idea..it will be my go to at the next show
  11. very nice well done!
  12. Well I went to a local show this weekend and my 69 super bee was voted club favorite, and my 70 dark burnt orange roadrunner and the purple cuda were picked to possibly be in auto modeler magazine,.. that made my day!
  13. awesome! post pics when done!
  14. I put a post in the work in progress section of what I did to these so this will just be the pictures of the finish product, overall very happy with them. The only downfall I have is the purple one does not have the 440 logo on the rear quarter panel hockey stick decal, but other than that, everything else is decent .
