  1. Wow. There isn't a car modeler alive that won't want this one. Fantastic work.
  2. How about the grill from the Revell 37 Ford pick-up?
  3. People don't realize it until they try it but it takes as much or more effort to make a model look bad, and do it well, than it does to make it look good. Keep up the good work.
  4. I knew there was a reason I don't like you Mark. :lol: (it's a joke folks!) Seriously though, very cool build. I actually dig the oddball exhausts. Nice work.
  5. I like the new layout but I'll have to change my avatar. she's just not as fetching that small.
  6. WHOA! That is one ugly chassis! Good luck with this project, you have your work cut out for you.
  7. Duplicolor white primer IS available. I get it at Pep Boys. Call around your local auto parts stores. Also have sprayed light colors over Duplicolor grey with no issues.
  8. Whn buying Plastruct or Evergreen stock, they often sell a pack that has several thicknesses in a poly bag. Highly recommended. For large sheets of it, grab a plastic yard sale sign from your local hardware store. You can save some $$ that way too.
  9. That one would be fine too,just not the lousy ones from Rommels Rod. And nope nothing in the closet.
  10. I asked this about a year ago and the build I need it for is coming up soon. Anyone resin casting these yet? Preferably the one from the Boothill show car?
  11. You have mis-spelled warrior. Just trying to help out.
  12. Or you could cover it in lil scale arrows and call it the "General Custer".
  13. I feel your pain. I sprayed a body/hood one night, closed the door on my booth. And an hour later went in to find a mosquito hood ornament.
  14. We have a winner! :lol: :lol: Sorry guys, nothing you got beats that unless it involves the loss of a limb/digit.
  15. When you've been working all day on the project and you set it down for the evening and you can hardly tell any progress has been made.
  16. Great work Tonio. Was that spoiler glued on for the color coat? I've wanted to do that several times, but I've been worried about paint on the underside and paint build up attempting to do so.
  17. I have used Elmers white glue and Aleene's Clear craft glue for years now.
  18. You dig out a part you have been saving for a long while for the perfect build, modify it heavily to work/fit/whatever only to realize when it's done that you don't like it after all and that great part is toast?
  19. I have done it two ways. 1/ A sparp toothpick and some white acrylic paint. 2. A Gelly Roll white gel pen from Michaels. With a steady hand you can get good results with either. This was done with the toothpick.
  20. I'm working on my Stude racer and I'd like to know if anyone has done racing harness buckles and tabs without buying PE pieces. I'm always all about doing these things as cheaply as possible. MY only thought is to cut then from super thin styrene or aluminum can. Any help would be appreciated.
  21. Whoa. That is just amazing work. I can't wait to see more.
  22. Some good work going on. I've got to hand it to folks that are so committed to their favorite genre of auto enough to do multiple builds of the same type. That would bore me to tears. Looking forward to more.
  23. That looks fantastic. Great engine detailing. I've steered away from the tire decals assuming they would look awful. I may have to give it a try now.
