INSPIRED THINKING- Cheap Tips for Frugal Modelers
Super28 replied to 62rebel's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I already posted this somewhere on this site, but a "tea Leaf" ball is great for putting small parts in cleaner/stripper so you don't lose them. A tea leaf ball is used to put tea leafs in to make tea. It's a metal ball that opens and has a chain on it. You can find them in "Housewears" section of Wal-Mart for about $3.00. Just make sure you get a stainless one so the solvent doesn't eat your tea ball. You can buy Toothpick holders with round toothpicks , two for a dollar at a dollar store. Dollar Tree stores have nail polish for one dollar a bottle. Some nice colors. (I reduce mine , 1 to 1 with Lacquer thinner). They also have 24 emery boards for $1.00. They also carry all kinds of plastic storage containers , (get this), for a dollar ! Seems like everything in Dollar Tree is a dollar! Who'd thunk, right? -
Really like this one. Keep posting

Been asked about the door , trunk, and sometimes hood hinges. Can't take credit for them. Go to "Dr. Cranky's" videos on model building. Gives step by step instructions. I use 3/32 aluminum tubing from local hobby shop. Can be cut with axacto knife. Wire is "stem wire" from a craft store, flower section. Glue is " Extreme Power", but super glue will work too. Loop pliers are from "Micro Mark". Mail order.

I believe the "Car of Tomorrow" were built around 2010? Anybody make models of these cars? Even resin? How 'bout recent trucks used in the Camping World Truck series??? Ant info would be appreciated. (I really like the "Car of Tomorrow" with their wings.)

I'm doing them in steps so I don't get in a hurry and start taking short cuts and to hold my interest. #5 is top secret. #6 is going to be a "re-do ". #1 is a 1970 Challenger, a "re-do". #2 is a 1962 Thunderbird, I dropped and broke in half, #3 is a 1969 Rambler S/C. #4 is a 1960 Ford Sunliner

How do you get the red circle on NASCAR wheels? Decals for wheels, ie: air arrows
