Oops someone already mentioned the 49 Merc

Where did they come up with the weird scales.....1/43??

Beautiful build and paint. I have a side question.....what do you thin the nail polish with?

ANYBODY but the Patriots.

The trouble with stencils is that you get a hard edge which isn't too realistic. Use putty or blu-tac, works great on the model aircraft I build.

Looks like very nice castings. Unfortunately all their stuff is for European cars, something I have no interest in.

Try this utube link, I used his method and it looks great.

I sprayed Model Master lacquer over Stynylrez and it worked perfectly.

Very nice, I like the satin finish on this truck. Tell us a little more about the build.

Where did you get those display cases, or did you build them yourself?

Yup, you got it..... it was a lovely shade of beige.

I can guarantee my Dart was NO WHERE as nice looking as this one is. Mine was a completely stock, base model with mud colored paint. The girls really were impressed.

You do realize that having a bigger work table won't work. Stuff expands to fit the space available.

The Dart wasn't really my fault, I inherited it so it was that or nothing.

I'd love to see modern kits of two of the most beautiful cars ever made (in my opinion, which is the only one which counts). The Continental MK2 and the hardtop Cord. I guess no one would be interested in my first car, a 64 Dodge Dart slow motion special.

Speaking of detail which no one can see when it's buttoned up.......

My only "senior" problems seem to be eyesight (thank God for magnifiers), and sometimes I plan something for a build and forget about until it's too late.

How about anniversary contests...... 2018 ok any car year ending in an 8. Rivals: two or more cars together i.e. Mustang vs. Camaro

Oh, we're big time now. Edgewood has it's first "high rise", a 4 story Comfort Inn, a Wal-Mart , Dennys, and a stop light. The traffic is horrible, I had to wait for three cars to pass before I could get off my street.

I'm kinda obsessive about building correct scale items on my models...plug wires, hoses, etc. It seems to me that most metallic or metal flake paint jobs on 24th scale models come out looking like the metal flakes are about a half scale inch (or so) . Just doesn't look realistic to me. Or......am I just being difficult?

Sorta like the real car?

I've been lurking for about a month or so and decided to join the board. So...here I am. I like to build older cars, hot rods, stuff from the 30s, 40s, and 50s etc. as well as muscle cars usually in 24th scale.
