Wow, Legos ain’t what they used to be! Nice job on it.? I too would like to wish you the best of luck and a speedy recovery Pete.

I got more done than I thought.? Thanks to all for the support and encouragement on these builds and also the ones I haven’t completed.

Very nice installation. Bug and rodent proof too.?

Fantastic job on this! The scratch built items and the fit and finish are perfect!?

That looks really great Steve.? This is a nice kit, but I wish AMT could have given us some side mirrors….and a few other missing parts.? I’m about to start looking for something I could use on mine.

I agree. That is a beautiful car!?

So you foil the bare plastic then swab the primer off before paint. Then again swab the paint off before the clear coat? That sounds like an awful lot of work.?

You never know sometimes when you open a kit for the first time, what will be the outcome.

Nice work so far.? I’ve done one ‘36 and started another so I’m gonna pull up a chair.?

That paint job looks great! Nice detailing on the engine also.?

It looks great David. I really like the interior.?

I got all the foiling done and another coat of clear on it. The kit tailgate hinges are pretty chintzy so I added metal pins and drilled into the tail light buckets…the lights will hide them. There is no trim around the tail lights so I made some with the BMF. When this coat of clear is good and dry, I will paint the black stripes on the side trim and tailgate. Under a brighter light it looks closer to the factory colour.?

I liked the original stance just a tad better, but it still looks really good Bob!?

That Girl! ?

I spend a LOT of time at the bench with getting very little done. Some days I spend more time thinking about what I could or should do than actually doing anything.? This year I want to become more efficient by: 1) making a list of chores, parts needed and order of operations. 2) Look, a squirrel…

Vomit has been known to start a chain reaction.

Milk is fine in my coffee, but never sugar!?

I don’t know about thinning the Tamiya stuff? The Milliput can be made softer with a touch of water. I would wear vinyl or nitrile gloves rather than bare fingers for mixing it. It can be easily sculpted while soft and sanded or filed or drilled when hardened. Since it cures by chemical reaction rather than solvent evaporation, it has little or no shrinkage. The Tamiya does seem to be a tad harder now than the Milliput. The JB Kwik in the picture has never gotten hardened.

It is basically the same as the Milliput fine. They both get rock hard when fully cured. I used Milliput on this roof. From my thread on them: “The Milliput is rock hard and sticks well. The Tamiya is still a little soft (I can dent it with my fingernail) but seems to adhere as well or better than the Milliput.” That was after 2 days if I recall and the Tamiya had soon hardened up as well. They both file and sand nicely. They could possibly be carved with a hobby knife.

Time to get back to the bench.

Hobby shops sell it. Evergreen makes it and there are others. Or like Rick said, packaging…if you can find un-scratched sections.

That 300B is one beautiful car and I think you’ve got a great start on it.? I’ll follow along ‘cause I think I can learn something here.

Some friends had two extra tickets to a Burton Cummings concert on New Years eve. It was his 75th birthday also and he put on a GREAT show! He was born and raised here in Winnipeg and now has the beautiful old Walker Theatre renamed after him.

Endings is what pleased me tonight….as in twenty twentytwo.

That is a really awesome diorama!? But that red T-Bird should be white.?
