Tamiya Paint over Rustoleum 2X Primer
NOBLNG replied to Chevy II's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
X2. The Tamiya rattle cans are a laquer, but not a really hot one. -

3D printed parts issue ?
NOBLNG replied to Jon Haigwood's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Since it is a straight axle, I would just replace it with a piece of brass tube, or styrene tube with a metal rod inside? -

Excellent scratch building going on here Bill! The engine looks really great. -
Very creative and nice job on it. ?

I agree, it looks great with the black wheels and blacked out trim and bumpers.?

Do you mean the rubber moldings that the glass is set in? If so, I made these out of .040” half round and painted the them with Tamiya XF-85 rubber black. -
Modeling vs. reality
NOBLNG replied to El Roberto's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I agree in the 1:1 world. There are people who build vehicles that are un-driveable and/ or unsafe, either for shock value or because they just don’t know any better. Those I dislike. However, when it comes to models....build what ever you want, anything goes! You can always hit the back button if you don’t like it!? I try to stay somewhat realistic, but it’s just a hobby. I do it to pass the time and keep tabs on my eyesight and dexterity. I know some members here are real sticklers for accuracy, and I commend them for it. -
Has anyone ordered any of these tires and rims? Just wondering what the quality is like? Pictures look pretty nice. Thanks! https://www.ebay.ca/itm/324564458920

That is a great thing you did! Nice to teach him early how to use his mind and his hands for something other than video games.

Revell ‘32 Coupe fitment issue?
NOBLNG replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
You’re right, that closes up the gap above the fenders.? The interior tub still sits a little high, but that’s an easy fix. -

Are you clumsy like me sometimes??
NOBLNG replied to Deuces ll's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Nice idea! And if you use one of those battery powered mixers, slip an empty TP tube over the jar so it doesn’t spray all over when you pull the mixer out.? -
Lexan candy and metallic paint question
NOBLNG replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Thanks Steve. That is pretty much the finish I was hoping for...it’s gorgeous! -
Revell ‘32 Coupe fitment issue?
NOBLNG replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Has anyone made an operating rumble seat in this? It would be fairly easy since Revell already opened it up. I searched “rumble seat” on here and couldn’t find any ‘32 fords. -
The interior tub on this seems to sit too high. The tub is sitting tight to the floor pan. If I space the tub down so the interior is at the right height, then there is a gap between the body and rear fenders. Am I doing something wrong? I did glue the rear frame horn covers in place, but that should not be the cause. I will fix it somehow but I’m sure someone has already dealt with it?

I picked these up recently at a closeout sale. They are made for lexan so I know I will have to clear coat them to get a glossy finish. What would be the best basecoat for them, especially the candy? White, silver, gold? I have two bottles of each which should be sufficient, but I want to keep my tests to a minimum. Thanks in advance.

Umm, I may have some bad news for you....?
