  1. If you can print decals goggle images for cobble stone dollhouse wallpaper. find you pattern, size and print on clear decal film. select your base color print and apply. just may work?

  3. Model Car Garage has a full detail kit with sku # 2006 It has the grill you need.
  4. Thoughts And Prayers for Steve I just saw a video on the U Tube channel that Steve has been hospitalized for a month now with a serious brain infection. I really hope he pulls through I enjoy his junkyard tours and his wealth of automotive knowledge.
  5. I used beading wire that I purchased some years ago .its twisted 3 strand wire. I' pretty sure it was from Michaels Crafts.

  7. Refinished in the very rare color- Sage green. Scratch built items- parking brake cables, master cylinder, windshield washer bag, voltage regulator, heater hoses, battery terminals. Engine wired.
  8. The Tamiya scriber is the way to go, a bit pricey worth every dollar
  9. Dymo Label Maker Tape It has a nice thick edge, sticks like crazy and reusable. guarantees a nice clean straight line with no scriber wandering.
  10. Probably a few hundred, my first was in 1969 at a Lincoln Mercury dealership , a few independent shops ending with my restoration and. collision shop. I've pretty much have seen it all
  11. That is not solvent popping. its flattening compound that isn't properly blended into the carrier film or defective. those specs are too uniform. solvent popping tends to gather in low spots or panel edges or paint runs. in short you have a bad can of paint.
  12. Nice model and presentation! keep up the good work.
  13. You can round off the inside corners with thick ca and a sharp toothpick if that is a concern
  14. Why not cut a large rectangular hole then add the thin divider strips?

  17. Adhesion promoter. available at most paint stores. make sure you specify its going to be used for urethane resin. It has no film build up so no detail will be lost.
  18. 4mm roof chop, 5mm lowered suspension. Removed spare gas tank, engine wired and plumbed. Parts box tires and wheels. Refinished in DupliColor lacquers and TransStar clear coat.
  19. Looks like bad or no primer is the cause. did you prime?
