SO i was thinking about doing this if a Larry Watson style car is allowed or does it have to be stock?

So I take it this is stalled now for almost a year now. Things like this happened on yhe Snowball from MCL

Thanks just checked and it did

Looking for some 50's style spotlights. Is there any kit that has some in it? Wanting to do a car that Larry Watson painted and he added spolights to the car . So I am looking for some of those.

Been over 100 here for the last 2 weeks and looks like it is going to last to the middle of next week. It seems cool to me as I work in a plant that gets upword in the 120's to 140's when it gets hot like this. We can't have fans and have to wear resporators while we work.

I really like the concept and how well executed this was done. Just love the over all look as wel;!

Here is a link for a model car contest I went to in Wichita Kansas Saturday It was with a Car show as well. Took a few pictures of the cars as well. Model contest Link http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/Tabsscale/Automobilia%202011%20Model%20car%20contest/ Car show had over 900 cars http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y184/Tabsscale/Automobilia%20Car%20show%202011/

Well I finally finished a model! Forst one i have workec on in over a year also. Decided to just finish this one first. The paint is all testors One Coat paints and i did the chop on it.

That silver thing still looks like a girly car to me!! Don't know why anybody would want rither cart both are kust plain ugly!

If the humidity is high the clear will do that . after iy gasses out it might clear up i have had that happen on a number of occasions

Hardly ever get PM's but it is not working on my end

you won't be disapointed The one i have now is over 5 years old and i have worn one our that was over 10 yearsold when it gave up

I just buy the model masters black chrome trim paint. I has a nice sheen to it

I was planning on going but some family issues have come up and can't make it

Why not just send it back to Badger and have them fix it http://www.badgerairbrush.com/Service-Supprt.asp

I also like to take what i call sprue goo and spreadit over the spots . I mix Testors liquid cement withesprue until the sprue melts. I mix it to a runny consistency but thicker than the glue. I then spread it over the spots that might ghost. after that sets up I then sand it to smooth it out.This has worked to stop the ghosting.

If you have a Hobby Lobby close to you they have what Iwata puts out called a Neo airbrush. The one i bought is gravity fed double action . Sells for $59.99 and the siphon one is $69.99 get one of their 40% off coupon and the airbrush is under $45. You still need a hose for it but Harbor freight sells a hose that fits right on it. I love mine. I would probably use any one of the 7 I have when i comes to painting but that Neo will be my first choice for right now.

There is some on emodelcars.com right now for $5 each

Hardly ever use CA for my models seems theones i have used it on have fallen apart after couple years . All the ones built with testors liquid cemment and ambroid pro wld are still together. Before anybody says anything all I ever use is Insta cure CA when i have to use it

Well i don't have credit cards or debit cards and if they don't checks or cash they don't get my business!! that is why I stopped going to Pizza huts in my area. They don't take checks.I personally don't carries much cash Unless I know i will need it.Got rid of all my credit cards years ago was tired of the high interest rates so paid them off and cut them up and cancelled the accounts.

Here's a 40 Ford

I did the basic one for KAMS giveaway Here are some pics of it

When ever I get stumped I just go to this site and click on the car index and look at the differnt cars to get ideas http://carnut.com/nindex.html

I like to use Model Master Metalizers Brass and Aluminum. Just mix them to get the color I want. Here is some done with this method.
