  1. Well here it is ......let me know if it's got the look Color is Tamiya Gunmetal , over Testors Diamond Dust, with a Testors Lime Ice stripe and TS13 clear
  2. I agree!!! I just built the street version.....YOURS WINS!!!! HANDS DOWN!!!!!! now I need to buy another kit... but the Hemi in this beast is one of the nicest blown motors out now!!
  3. It's Done!!!!! http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17939
  4. Done with this one...would have liked to do more plumbing ....oh well ENJOY!!!
  5. Adult Humor.....it's a shame NASCAR can't figure it out .....So the spoof is perfect!!!
  6. I agree!! Use a 2" wide SOFT brush and lay it on. watch the edges and corners, wick away the extra with a paper towel....WOW!!!! and if you do not like it etc then wash it off with windex!
  7. My DAILY driver has a 6 speed....they don't even make an automatic!!!!! No stinkin cage for me!!!!!
  8. Got sidetracked on the El Camino Project while this was drying out from clear. made a fuel tank, moved the battery to the trunk(have to reset hinge) The Pearl is really poppin , so I need to polish it out, and mount mirror, plate, and door handles.....Enjoy for now
  9. Me too. But you SHOULD try the new lacquer line.....works quite well (below tamiya TS line, but still good paint.)
  10. YEP I agree 100%...If you cleaned, and primed the body you might get away with it, but on bare plastic thats the nature of that product line...But if you learn to MIST it you will get first class paint out of the can....even W/O primer. I would strip it in DOT3 brake fluid, wash it in Dawn dry it, prime it, then shoot some killer paint!!
  11. News to me also .....BUT if your calling me an expert ...I would like that in writing, notarized and published!!!!! My hat size is now at 8 1/4" and swelling rapidly!!!!!
  12. 1. try 390 ford truck motor on google or any other search engine of your choice! 2. http://www.offroaders.com/tech/Ford-V8-Engines.htm this has some great links.....
  13. I bet that it will have a variant of an auto stick, and the computers will out shift you and me most of the time. Try a BMW or Mercedes auto tran and shift it manually ...what you will find out is that its just as much fun for everyday real driving.NO it will not be for the heel and toe crowd....but my knee is already feeling better!! I've been there and shifted just about every car and truck trans and axle combo around....and I wan't it EASY!!! So B4 P &Ming about why don't ya try it??? UPDATE>>>>>>>It comes with paddle shifters and 20's....This car is gonna sell if they price it right!!!!
  14. I agree wholeheartedly about the talent level here. The amount of knowledge that I picked up in the reading of these builders......Past Priceless!!! Thanks to everyone who cares about this hobby! Now enough MUSH......lets build!!
  15. 24 hours or 4 hours if you use a dehydrator with lacquers. As far as tape goes one word TAMIYA!! these were shot with HOK and Tamiya lacquers, using Tamiya tape!
  16. As should all!! Marcus I do not care about YOUR politics or religion.....But show us some models!!!!!!
  17. what..... huh????
  18. To save a lot of time prime first with plasticote or duplacolor white primer....these colors are THIN!!!!
  19. OR WIDE OPEN...that will blur fore and backgrounds! DEPTH OF FIELD AND DEPTH OF FOCUS.....They really are different!!!
  20. wrongo harry.....the real fun IS trying to find the photo....with my eyes, computer and low res pix how can we see the details???? Give it away??????? Not a chance!!!
  21. Well as ol Harry says GOTCHA!!!!!! all except the 12 of us that brush our teeth (and floss) This is a tooth cleaner...The whole issue started when I opened my new toothbrush and left this widget out!!! My bride thought it was some of my modeling tools.....looks like she is as smart as most of us!!!
