    Nice job on that weathering, the rust looks real!

    Very clean, nice build!

    I’m thinking that my 2013 MX-5 with the prht might be somewhat collectible one day. It will never be really valuable, but I’m keeping it anyways until I can’t drive or I can no longer get in and out of it!

    Excellent job! Very creative mind you have.
  5. NOBLNG
    WOW! What?!
  6. NOBLNG
    Very Interesting. I agree, the ‘vette sides flow nicely. What are the little teardrop thingies?

    Nice job! These kits go together very well. I am currently working on their 911gt3. Yours looks great.
  8. NOBLNG
    Good job! Your paint looks waaay nicer than what’s on the box.

    Each to his own. I have used both Tamiya and Testors spray cans. I am not concerned with colour accuracy but I find more and more that the spray pattern is very heavy compared to what I can get with the airbrush, so I find myself decanting them.

    Do some research before buying an airbrush. Some are far easier to clean than others. More expensive does not necessarily mean better for our purposes. I have found the siphon feed bottles way easier to clean than the little gravity cup on mine.

    What is the size range of the chuck on that? It should have a ton of power if those are 18650’s.

    This is the difference that coloured primers can make with the same paint. This is tamiya x-46 over L-R : red oxide,grey,pink and white. Tests are the best way to go.

    There are at least 3 different facets to this hobby. Building is the one I enjoy the most. Collecting is one I don’t indulge in. If I don’t intend to build it I don’t buy it. Then there is the fun of being part of the community here and in local clubs. Which is also a big part of it for me. As long as you’re having fun, it’s al good! All dollars well spent.

    I am a member Wayne. Unfortunately I can’t make this meeting. Hopefully the next one!

    The cab couldn’t really go any farther forward due to the doors. Anyway, I added 0.156” all around the back of the hood and another 0.20” along the top back edge. A little final sanding and she will be ready for paint. I was thinking of hinging the hood down the center, but it is no easy task so I don’t think I will bother.

    I am on the “cheap” end of the spectrum. I find it hard to spend $45.00 on a new model, more for a Tamiya or...? So I bought just about everything at Michaels with a coupon, and frequent the flea markets. I haven’t bought much aftermarket stuff yet either. That said it is definitely one of the more affordable hobbies if you break it down to dollars per hour, especially if you scratch build parts.

    Quite a difference in shrinkage between the primed and non primed mask.
  18. NOBLNG
    It seems to work well with and without primer.

    Thanks, I will have to go through them and see if all the parts are the same (or close enough). I forgot to mention the kit # is 30083. Edit: Suspension pieces are slightly different, but certainly close enough for building.

    Got these two today at a local flea market. $5 for the Buick and $15 for the Ford. Assembly instructions are missing from the Riviera, but shouldn’t be too hard to find. Edit: If anyone can send me a link to instructions I would appreciate it, TIA Greg.

    Wow, that is a beautiful cabinet! How about a picture of your fence?
  22. NOBLNG
    If I had stuck with the x-46 red metallic and the white primer on the left, it would be pretty close.
  23. NOBLNG
    Ok, if the MM “connects” with acrylic paint, is the home made stuff less likely to bond with the paint?
  24. NOBLNG
    In the works,? one side I will cover with tamiya primer, the other straight acrylic paint. I will post results.

    One thing that bugs me is those Revell/Monogram boxes that open like a clamshell! they always want to tip over if they aren't on a large flat surface.
