Question for the molotow "pro's"
NOBLNG replied to johnyrotten's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You could also cut a disc from cardboard about the size of your rings. Glue a long piece of sprue (or any round rod) to the center with CA, and then use double face tape or a tape loop to attach the rings. Then you can spin it as you spray. A bottle cap might work instead of the cardboard disc? -

Anyone else getting Bad spelling Scam Email's??
NOBLNG replied to ranma's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
Itโs likely gonna get worse. Artificial Intelligence can probably run a better scam than Actual Ignorance. I automatically delete any e-mails or texts that I donโt recognize the sender. Likewise, I donโt answer phone calls if I donโt recognize the number. If itโs legit they can leave a message, but they never do. -
Point me in the right direction because I have no idea where I am going.

Nice score! Things do not go on sale like that here in Canada.๐

I am no paint expert, but I prefer lacquers. They dry quick and can be re-coated pretty much anytime. My advice for a newbie would be to stick to paints and primers made for hobbyists. You didnโt say where you paint, apartment, house, garage? If you have a space where you could use an airbrush, it opens up a whole lot of paint options that arenโt available in rattle cans. That saidโฆyes you can get excellent results from rattle cans.

That might be too much? Iโd just put one or two lavender pleats in two or three places. Just enough to break up the expanse of white? JMO.๐

What is your go-to airbrushable primer?
NOBLNG replied to Monty's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I thin this with lacquer thinner and keep it ready to go in one of my Paasche H jars. I use my battery powered mixer to stir it before use. If it has thickened up from sitting awhile, I just add a bit more LT. -

How about the styrene tuck-n-roll with some sort of purple accents?

That is the reason that I moved the fenderwells from the chassis to the body. I should have mentioned it sooner.

The primer does not โsoak inโ to the plastic. In my understanding, the dyes can leach out and tint the primer, and it can leach out further to tint the paint if a sealer of some sort is not used as a barrier.

It looks great! I did my โ41 Chevy pickup in Premier Colonial Red and it goes down nice. I got a little bit of crazing from the Testors gloss that I used over it.

I think your upholsterer did a fine job!๐ A little late to mention now, but I cut those inner fender wells off the chassis and added them to the body.
