    Try the same condition that caused the issue. Create the humidity with steam from a pot of boiling water.

    The ridiculous shipping cost on EBay is the reason I will always support my local hobby shop first. The shop I frequent is Star Hobbies in Maryland. They buy collections and offer them in their store. Might want to see if your LHS wants to buy your collection.

    I’ve just adopted this system and it makes fabricating parts much more to scale. I still go with the “that looks right” every once in a while.

    If your going to put something on display and judged for a possible award, be prepared for the scrutiny. I have seen the shortcomings of my models just taking pictures with my phone. I don’t think I want to see my builds under the fine eye of a good photographer.

    With the popularity of the pickup and suv market in the US., I would think the manufacturers would be all over the Expedition, Suburban, and pickups of today.

    Wow, no love for the Bronco and bass boat?

    Would that be solid or hollow? Just wondering how heavy it is?

    I think the Chevy guys would name that “No Way”.

    Should have done something like this when I built this kit. That is nice work.

    I submitted pictures of one of my truck builds and they stopped publication the same year.

    The AMT 1960 Chevy truck kits have the small back window.

    When I built this kit a few years ago, I opted to add material to the area where the glass sets. Small bit of bodywork but better then ruining the clear glass. To answer your original question, canopy glue or clear epoxy would be my choice.

    This hobby teaches patience grasshopper.

    Purchased this kit from a LHS a while ago and put it in the stash. Pulled it out this morning to see if there was a date on the box or paperwork. Nothing. I’m sure somebody on here has this kit or has info on it. Body is warped a bit from being in the box and something heavy setting on it. Thanks in advance.

    I don’t need to start with a known complex kit, I create my own frustration with a relative easy kit. Wonder who the manufacturer was looking to market these kits to?

    Glued in headlights on a Bronco kit with Testors canopy glue, the fit was tight. 5 days and still white glue behind the lenses. Had to drill a hole in the back of the bucket to allow air in. Still took another day to dry. Give it a few more days.

    I have Norm’s latest catalog saved on my IPad. He will email it to anyone that contacts him. I’m not sure how to post it here or even if it’s allowed.
  18. Oldriginal86
    That is beautifully done. I appreciate how you showed us the kit that was used. I wish more build threads started like yours.

    Is that a pinto 2.3L ?

    Did the warp issue on the frames get sorted out? I’m looking to build a long bed and would like to start with a frame of the correct length.

    I thought Oldmopars was working on this, 3D printed.
  22. Oldriginal86
    Thanks, looks like I’ll toss the pen and buy a refill kit.

    Steve can you explain “they turned to silver paint in less then a year”. My pen is 5 years old, maybe that explains why it looks just like silver paint.
  24. Oldriginal86
    My experience with this is you get just as good of result as using Testors silver paint in the small jars. I do use it for touch up of the kit chrome where it came off the tree.

    What concerned me about the Rustoleum in the can was the “oil base” statement. Is the Testors and other hobby enamels oil based as well? This is an interesting subject in the fact that flat black or satin is the most used color in the modeling world. IMHO.
