  1. Absolutely correct! I got in a bit of a hurry, I guess. Didn't really think the same brand stuff would do that.
  2. I agree with that. I had a color coat wrinkle up using MCW paint over Duplicolor primer. I stripped it, used the same primer, and then shot the MCW again, with good results! Go figure, right?
  3. The cans I have mention on the label to recoat within 2 hours, or wait at least 48 hours. It was about 60 hours between color and clear for this shoot. If I can get the same smooth spray with the tan that I had the first time, I may not try a clear, and just give the whole project a good waxing.
  4. Part of the "live-and-learn" process, I guess! LOL
  5. Forget the T'bird.....dig that krazee Gremlin!!!! LOL
  6. The KRYLON I used is ColorMaster.
  7. Those look great, Wayne! I think I have some of the Dupicolor clear hanging around. If not, I know I can get some close by. I'm wondering why the Krylon clear did that over the Krylon tan? I would have thought the same brand would be a good match.
  8. I recently painted a Jeep Honcho with KRYLON Gloss Khaki: This was shot over Plastikote primer. It laid down super smooth. I had it up to this point: Then.......I shot KRYLON Gloss Crystal Clear on the hood: It started to wrinkle before I got through! I immediately stopped spraying. I'm glad I didn't start with the body, or I wudda lost the decals, most likely! When I stripped this hood in the Super Clean, it all peeled off in a sheet. Any ideas what might have happened here?

    Dart GT

    I owned a '69 Dart GT back in the early 80's. Dark green, green interior, vinyl top, no stripe. 318, automatic was pretty peppy! This one here is a great looking Dart! Well done!
  11. Are those Metropolitan wagons??? Super COOL!!
  12. Sorry to hear of your bad fortune with the great looking Dodge! I had a similar mishap due to an act of nature....if you can call a former wife slamming a Jo-Han '68 Caddy convertible straight down to the floor an act of nature! I still have the (rebuilt) Caddy, tho!
  13. This makes me wonder about the early 60's Ford pickup tooling that AMT had. I would like to see those trucks make a comeback, especially the integrated body of the '63 with the camper shell.
  14. What a ride!! Hmmmmmm......looks comfy, tho!!
  15. Yessir.......that's the one!
  16. No ideas for this one?
  17. "Everybody needs money. That's why they call it money."
  18. This whole "creating cash flow" idea just boggles my mind! How long has Round2 owned AMT, MPC, Polar Lights, and Lindberg, and whatever else they may have? How much cash flow do they need before they can justify creating a new tool? In my mind, a new tool would create a fair amount of cash flow, especially if the company has paid attention to the "wants" of the hobbyists, and that would add to the cash flow they generate from re-issues. In the case of the New REVELL, is seems it should be even easier to take the chance on creating something the model builders actually want to build. I've been around this hobby since the early sixties, and I'm kinda tired of seeing the same kit, in different box art, with new decals. To me, it's still the same old kit, and I've seen the comments from very experienced builders about the shortcomings of those old kits. A little research on a fresh idea would go over well with me, for sure!
  19. WOW!!! What a nice looking drop top! Early fifties at its best!!
  20. I think the '68 300 is one of Chrysler's most beautiful automobiles, ever! You've done a very nice job rebuilding this one. Keep up the good work!!
  21. The '66 thru '68 Grand Prix were large cars with big engines, but I think they had a fair amount of muscle, and I would certainly like to have a 1/25 scale kit hanging about, especially the unique '67.
  22. This is great stuff, here!!
  23. A line of Ford Ranchero pickups other than Falcon based (like '66 thru '77) would work, also.
