    That is definitely a necessary modification when you have opened the doors up.

    Why all the flat paints? Do you find they flow out or cover better? If you’re covering with a clear, I guess the finish of the paints below don’t matter.

    I cut 3”x2” squares of glossy cardboard from frozen pizza boxes. Use ‘em once and toss them. The problem with that is it will harden in the tip towards the outlet so it is a one time use unless it came with extra tips?

    Very nice job. I agree, that colour looks spectacular on it!

    A few builds

    NOBLNG replied to AlanH's topic in Model Cars

    Welcome! Nice looking vehicles. I too built in my pre and early teens, and did only two after becoming an adult. Now in my late 50’s I am retired and picked it up again. You will find everyone very helpful here. There is a wealth of knowledge here for sure! Make sure to post your new projects.

    Yeah, I think it was designed for patio furniture.?

    Quite a bit, but I’m not gonna reveal it yet. One thing I did do was modify my mitre box so I can get a full depth cut with my razor saw. The “spine” of the saw kept hitting the sides of the box. All good now!?

    I bought this at a flea market partially assembled. The engine was done, but none of the chrome was scraped from the joints so I had to re-do some of it. The interior was partly painted so I stripped it and re-did it. The red plastic body is just cleared with Testors Aztek gloss.

    The car looks great. Your workspace is far too clean and organized though!?
  10. NOBLNG
    Very nicely done! Love the colour.

    I think there is more historical-technical knowledge on this forum than there is on the 1:1 websites!?

    I do like to buy quality brushes, but you would be absolutely horrified if you saw me cleaning them!?

    I just made a new rear brake light lens from some Clear flash because I wasn’t happy with the kit piece. Red or amber bits could possibly be used for side marker lights?

    It’s gotta be pretty durable, it’s made to be walked on!?

    Really nice. I LIKE!

    The primer looks pretty good. Back to the Milliput idea...could it be rolled out with a rolling pin or dowel to the proper thickness, cut to shape and laid on the body so it conforms to the contours? Just spitballing, I have no experience with Milliput.

    Best of luck to you Vince! Everyone else...stay as safe as you possibly can!

    Sorry, I was a sheet metal worker by trade and assumed it was obvious. I clarified it. That was the first attempt and I just pinned it down over the guard with thumbtacks. I think if a person was to make a frame, the actual screen could be glued in to make it even more realistic?

    Managed to paint the script on the Ferrari. Thanks for the dry brushing suggestion Richard.
  20. NOBLNG
    The finish does look beautiful!
  21. NOBLNG
    That is looking great. You certainly have some talents!

    I used .040 half round for the chrome trim and .030 half round for the seam on the vinyl. I sanded both slightly to get a half-oval shape.
  23. NOBLNG
    They are both done, but I will be setting them at different heights. I have often thought of sliding the passenger seat father forward also, but always wind up mounting them even. ?

    Some of mine

    If those are all models, Johns been a busy Boy!

    Here’s a little trick I discovered for simulating expanded metal. This is the belt guard for the compressor in the “Joe’s Garage “ kit. I sprayed the aluminum first, then stretched a piece of fibreglass window screen diagonally and used it as a mask. Then I shot a lite coat of black on it.
