  2. Duplicates are usual when you buy many collections...
  3. No you didn't. If you really had another satin HOK beauty you would of posted large photos of said beauty.......SO HURRY UP!!!!
  4. WOWSER HARRY!!!!!! INCREDIBLE JOB!!!!!!!!
  5. Chris...simply put, remove the old seat...dremel, razor saw, string, jewelers saw....what will work best for you .Then get a stack of index cards, pencil, scissors. Now with a bit of masking tape for support, cut those cards and make what you need. Then get some. 020 or .030 styrene sheet and transfer to plastic...tenax or bondene your set!!
  6. Exactly!!!! Thats what I'm doing, but I can add different colors of pearl..red, blue, gold, yellow and I just started. I have issues with the MM sprays.. I have to decant them so I stick with plain clear decanted or HOK
  7. John Teresi.........
  8. Seconded....
  9. You should Harry. Living up in the windy you will not find enough of a client base. But thinking along Barret Jackson locations Ca ,West Palm, Scottsdale where I live and 1/2 hour away we see lots of big buck cars...and owners who have 4 or 5 houses...each stocked with a fleet of cars...Go for it !! They will pay $$$$ for that quality......I know what the local top shooters make......same difference.
  10. The Base still is locked and has the windows and lights in it?
  11. Very Kool!!!!!
  12. I've never shot pearl white and most likely would never buy any, No not because of quality or any problems with it. It is because I discovered Pearl Ex powders. Donn Yost uses a liquid pearl and HOK has a couple of different types of pearl flakes in a good selection of color and effect. I prefer to add the pearl in an intercoat clear. I use House Of Kolor paints and they have a great white basecoat (BC26) which if polished before clearing will allow an explosion of pearl this way. I shoot my primer and dry so I can wet sand and block it out any touchups are done now. I then mix my pearl powders into 1/2 oz of SG100 in a mixing cup. I have done a number of spoons in different amounts of flake / color / and combinations of different colors and sizes so I have a base idea...as long as I count coats and flow. After 1 or 2 pearl and clear coats, I shoot 3 or 4 clear coats on top...then let dry and a wet sanding w/1500 and then Meguires Scratch X...
  13. I don't know about any boxes NOTHING!!!!!
  14. GO JOHN GO!!!!!!!
  15. I am in awe once again Art. I have picked up on bits and pieces of this over the years,and I know it works...and (at least to me) makes total sense...smooth and thin, with solid color Never knew the story though....Thanks!!
  16. I did a little more digging and this car of my buddies is an Eddie Meyer V8 60
  17. I love the vintage racing photos Bernard! I think Art was refering to the steel wheels in the old midget my buddy owns now....here are a few pics...
  18. Is it from your hard drive or a photo server?
  19. Steve put it straight up....one thing to add is about those strings.....LET THEM DRY>>>DO NOT MESS WITH them until they are dry as they can be rolled or rubbed off (Novis 2 or 3) . You do really have to wait.....or... Be MORE carefull!! You can also mix it on Post it notes..stir slowly, no air bubbles or heat then apply with what works best !!
  20. I love it when the spoons work!! I bought Tamiya paint stirrers..metal one end in "spoon shaped" the other is flat. I mix my powder 1 spoon at a time and stir, Once the formula is set You can re mix over and over! http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXVU54&P=SM
