I like your clean methodical approach to all these modifications Paul.👍😎

Since I am in a bit of a building slump right now…I did a quick test. The bottom piece of Evergreen is blasted with crushed glass which is way too aggressive, but it’s what is in my cabinet. The top one is sanded fairly smooth with 800 grit. The blasted one is sprayed with slightly thinned Tamiya LP-21 Italian Red. The smooth one is sprayed with un-thinned LP-21 from a distance of about 8-10”. I think even blasting with a finer grit could possibly damage or obliterate the raised lettering on the cover.

Function is a mathematical term which, after a short bit of research, had me totally confused.

Nice! I must say I had my doubts that you would be able to squeeze that engine in there….but there it is.😎

Being of sound mind and body…..ahh who am I kidding?🤪

Not nearly as often as I should! I tend to work obsessively on a project, then a squirrel appears and I may not get back to the project for weeks or months. I try to jot down plans, paints etc. as I go, but frequently forget to.😳

If you do build it with the fenders, check that the body will sit right down nicely. I found that I had to clip off the locating pins and use the rear fenders themselves for locating the body. The pins may be necessary for a fenderless build?

Her wish is your command!😈

Lincoln maybe?

Them is everybody except me.

Page 653 of this thread astonishes me, as I thought it would get shut down due to people pushing the limits.

I love messin’ with these AMT ‘36 Fords!😈

Babe could also refer to a famous baseball player or a famous talking piglet.

So how’s it working out? Would it really go up to 150 psi?

bebebebebebebebebebebebebebebe went the smoke alarm.

Reason is the first line of defence for those who do not wish to be emotionally manipulated.

I was unaware of this engine. Here’s some interesting information on it. https://rodandstyle.com/blogs/rod-and-style-tech/ford-v8-60?

It’s a model…you can do anything you like to it.🙂

Just a few pics from two nearby Sunday car shows.

Is the “Tamiya” lacquer thinner weak enough that it won’t melt the styrene like generic LT will?

It is looking great Urs!👍 I would not have the patience for all that decal work.😬

I think they’ve been running amok all over this forum!😬

My wife thinks I have more models than I will ever build, and she might be right? That said, she has never complained about me buying more…she just rolls her eyes and shakes her head. She has three guitars and two amps and….so we each have our hobbies. We have no kids to bequeath anything to, so our motto is: we can’t take it with us and the cheque to the undertaker should bounce.😜 I only have around a hundred kits and plan to build them all except for the ones I bought as possible parts donors, so I better get busy.😳

You’re only a short drive from Winnipeg….I’ll come and pick ‘em up.🤪

Nice! That maroon looks great on anything.👍
