Does the CA or the accelerator ever go bad? Sometimes even with the kicker things don’t want to stick (mainly when I am glueing sprue onto items to be painted). I am wondering if the stuff I have is light sensitive since it’s in a brown bottle. I would like to transfer it into an empty Tamiya paint jar since I have tipped this bottle over once and nearly done it a couple other times.

Wow! I passed over this thread before because I’m not really into race vehicles, but I must say Francis....You certainly have my attention now! This thread is both exhilarating and depressing at the same time. And to think I was blown away by that plastic grill you made.? Your work is as close to perfection that I have seen here or anywhere else. -
How about dividing it into decades? In the completed section there could be “Pre-1930”, ‘30s, ‘40s, ‘50s etc. Just a thought, and as said...google search works pretty good for finding specific vehicles. P.S. I try to be as descriptive as possible in my titles. I have never used tags, but now that I know how I will.

You’ve been working on it for 25 years? It is coming along very nicely!? I love the color.
-
Looking good! I’ve done one of these, it is a nice kit.
-
Nicely done.
-
Beautiful!?

I have grandiose plans to cut it up and cast it possibly after fixing some issues. I have another that I am currently working on. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/156181-‘54-willys-pu/

‘54 Willys P/U
NOBLNG replied to NOBLNG's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
I made the rear window smaller like the earlier trucks had and smoothed the back of the cab. I also made a jig to get the Milliput contoured close to what I want. -
What did you see on the road today?

AMT 1960 Ford ramp truck

2-13/16” scale inches would equal 70-7/16” in 1:1. Almost a six foot stretch! I never would have thought that pile of plastic was salvageable.....but WOW, nice work. -
TJeepster

I’ve got the chassis pretty much done. This was my first attempt at building a complete exhaust system.? Heck, first attempt at everything! It took me about three tries and a few sticks of .080” styrene to get the exhaust to where I can live with it. I ditched the Hemi engine and replaced it with a Buick 350 and turbo 400 transmission (the earlier C-101 Jeepsters had a Buick V6 and TH400 trans, and the 350 is a popular swap in the 1:1 world). This engine is actually a 430 from the AMT ‘69 Riviera that I re-worked a bit to resemble the smaller block since no Buick kit came with a 350. The resin roof from Olson Brothers arrived a while back too and looks better than the half-cab roof I think. -
Amazing slicing and dicing going on here! There is something more rewarding about this kind of building that just glueing a kit together isn’t there? What glue did you use for the side panel that adheres to the styrene and the filler...epoxy?
-
Your forethought and attention to details is amazing!?

Welcome to the forums. Whereabouts in Canada are you?

I wanna build that red ‘Vette too?, but I don’t have a clue how to go about it....or the skills. But if you are going to do it Eric, I guess I can get my get my thrills vicariously.? I’ll be watching in anticipation!

Way ahead of it's time!
NOBLNG replied to doorsovdoon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It was built here a while back. The interior is weird because of the electrics. -
Why is it that metallic paints (laquers) seem to take a lot more flushes to clean out of the airbrush cup than solid colors??

What was the worst movie you saw at the theater??

This is gloss black with one coat of Tamiya flat clear on top sprayed from a distance of 8”-10”. I did the gloss black first so that I could apply the decals.

Another thing you can do is chuck a small drill bit backwards in a pin vise and use it as a scriber. Use a very light touch as they are brittle! This is a #80 (0.0135”).
