  5. assuming your using acrylics and not TS decanted, mix tamiya thinner between 1:1 and 2:1 (thinner : paint) and it will be like 2% milk in a glass..20 to 30 psi and go for it!

  10. Many times I see a posting that is just bad. Rather than point it out I stay quiet. I'm not gonna say Great Paint....when its not. I look at the number of views and if nothing gets said..... I got the message. And then I learn...If I rip someones job...I'm not gonna start lying about it!!

  18. Thanks Bob You are 100% correct about seats! I feel better about my frustrations now after reading all of these replys, from my peers whose abilities are well respected in our hobby. I was looking at a resin BB chevy oil pan as I was filing this kit motor it was soooooo nice and smooth I also remembered the two hours I spent squaring up that block and heads ...so maybe this isn't all that bad Bob I do not quite get the CA and accelerator trick... I end up with a hard mess..and end up with putty and sanding Thanks again guys!!
  19. well after reading this...I AM NOT ALONE!!! still frustrated though!!
  20. Those pesky seams on motors. I wish I could figgure out how to get them flat! Valleys and oil pans. the bottom always shows that darn seam...I can hide it tranny thru bell housing but the oil pan and front pulley are awful In all my years of building I've ignored it but I can't anymore!! Do I file , scrape , sand , or fill.....or all of the above??? I'm doing the Baldwin camaro and that 427 pan looks awful bad..... and when the manifold went on....its high in the center....is it just me?? Tim Boyds don't look this bad...
  21. MCM issue #138 jan 2009 Re read this and see all the power options!!
  22. I think that says it all!!!!! WOW
  23. No problem bud...but I sent you a V8...where did the other cylinders go?? And for the headers get a roll of armature wire or solder...simple to do!!
