Just received my Airbrushes back from Badger after some tuning up. Looking forward to using them this weekend.

Oh that's cool

Generally lee speaking, Mexican and me get along, but like I said, Taco Bell, not anymore , same with pizza now, I get heart burn a lot more often now after eating pizza, but it could be that I eat an entire medium thin crust in one seating almost. Just an FYI Jonathan, Taco Bell is not Mexican Food.

Curious if it was Green Valley? Although that is not a Mining Town There is a Ghost Town nearby.

I built it before it was the Model King Blazer reissue. It was ok then.

Chicago you say, It appears we have something in common. I live in Arizona but a majority of Retirees here are from Chicago, and other places east, and north. And yes they're driving skills, or Lack there of. Have followed them here.

In My Town we have a Lagging left Arrow.In which the arrow turns on after the Green light turns red. However you can still make a left when the Green light is active, as long as traffic is clear for you. Its like having two Opprtunities to make a turn, and seems to work out well. The next City over has a different System, they have The arrow only briefly stay on. "Very Briefly" in the beginning of the Green light, then it starts flashing Yellow Which makes you feel like the Grim Reaper is on the way, Then it turns Red and you have a short time to turn, before you get Creamed by the truck from Duel.

Not a Car! But a very Cool piece.

Very Cool. Nice paint, and the Engine detail is cool too.

That is looking real Good.

It needs a Studebaker Police car chasing it.

Are you asking for the color or the effect?

White basecoats Usually work well with Yellow.I use Citadel Skull white primer. It's kind of pricey but the can is larger than Tamiya and it is every bit as good.

Now you can Kim Kardashian standing next to a train caboose.All in scale of course.

Awesome please share what you learn with us too.

Cool John, Another exciting time watching the Magic happen.

If you access to spray paints use them, Considering it is your first Model kit, and we Don't know your skill level. Brush painting might be the way to go. You've got to crawl before you can walk. However don't let that OCD thing get in the way.

Sounds like you Already have a Decent Airbrush. The Paasche is a very good brand. For straight color paint Jobs, should be Good enough. Get to practicing more, becoming better acquainted would be more helpful in the long run,IMHO.

The Model is pretty amazing, I hope they make a Dually version.

Oh man that is a beautiful paint job.

I have never built one of those but on the 1-1 cars did they not have a horseshoe mount?

Great save

Just for clarity the IPMS contest is usually in November, not December. But of course there web site is usually the best place for information on dates.

Dirty jobs television show did a segment about the removal and transport of the Saguaro. I just seen it a few weeks ago.

Yeah, Just Go with what Bill& Art say.
