  6. Lots of great advice.....my 2 cents worth...Pickup Evergreen #9002 "odds and ends " and Evergreen #217 "rod / tube asst. These are great starter packs and give you an idea of more sizes you will need http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...=LXF884&P=M http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti00...LXF734&P=SM Both for under $10. (yeah...plus shipping)
  7. LISTEN TO HARRY!!!
  8. Use DOT3 fluid NOT DOT4 or DOT5
  9. Great News!!!!!
  10. Don't worry Harry he is on the TSA "list".......what kind of credit card does he use????
  11. Your base is the most important part of your final color. In the HOK color chips they show the difference between bases. White, black , gold, or silver will all work with kandys....BUT the end color will be diff depending on your base. So get some spoons and shoot some tests....Note not all silvers and golds are the same.....I shot 4 diff silver bases till I got the end color I wanted. The paint your using is a thin pearl......color with some flakes....Mr O is right ...you do not want tiger stripes!!!
  12. Harry.....Thanks for the link AFTER!!!! Could you give us this each week??
  13. Got a MAC Harry.....I love my Vista!!...Tried mozilla, safari, chrome, explorer....and dang if they all work!!! when installing SP1 make sure your anti-virus is turned OFF......if not YOU WILL have problems. If you do a backup B4 adding any software it will make a big dif. with vista 2GB is the minimum I recommend 4GB if it will fit...
  14. If all your roofs are white....then do it in black.....I know youve got doubts.....but down deep your soul screams BLACK if you want a neat touch use HOK black diamond for your base color over black lacquer then clear.....
  15. How didja build that 383...
  16. this should help......
  17. It needs 6" off the top....but I still love it
  18. Repeat after me....ITS ONLY PLASTIC....it is! A wiser modeler taught me that with a bottle of tenax and a bag of evergreen You can fix anything you've done !! Channeling is quite easy....but interiors are all different ...so work on the body and frame first then add some suspension, power,and then worry about the interior..heres some pix of my '34 see how much its been cut? this is the finished cut if you watched this build you know that I cut this puppy up a dozen times or so till I was happy ... follow this link: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.p...3&hl=mikemc
  19. so you are thinning future with alcohol??Whats with the wax? future is NOT wax...just clear acryllic in a bottle.
  20. STOP...... MM thinner and lacquer thinner are 2 different food groups...What paint are you using? To airbrush the rule of thumb is thin the paint so its as thin as 2% milk.....USING ONE THINNER 20 lbs psi or more my paint is dry to touch in 20 min or less...after a few days its ready to sand and polish
  21. Ahhh Harry....didja know its hurricane season down here.....NOW ????
  22. Anybody out there?????
