I like the colour combo too.? Is that white primer DupliColor? I get a dry “fuzzy” texture with it that I don’t with the grey stuff.

Looking good Karl!? The real wood bed should look real nice.?

I think it looks good Len.? I haven’t had great luck with Createx, but I have a few bottles of it so I am giving it one more try. I aborted my first attempt with that same Phthalo green.? If my paint job doesn’t turn out this time, I will give away whatever product I have left.

Retirement is something that I thoroughly enjoy.

Definitely the Duplicolor.

Wood my iPad correct me if I dint spell sumtin rite.

Uncommon model kits can be highly desirable.

Looks like a nice casting…I’ll follow along to see what you do with it.?

Well Jim, Mark tipped me off to look at my Merc…I knew it had a Caddy engine. Don’t you need that engine and trans for your next ‘41 Plymouth build????

Images that I may not want in my head?

I made up some extra paint clips. I got the alligator clips cheap, and sprue is pretty much free.?

Area 51 is intriguing.

Globe trotters are not usually destitute.

It looks like the one behind the Caddy engine in the Revell ‘49 Merc.

Pretty tough to paint something that tiny?? If you can find a picture of the mats you want, you could downsize and print them.

Thanks Steve. It was nice to meet you too, and congrats on the well deserved awards!?

That doesn’t work if there is no pressure.

I had a fantastic time there. Lots of extremely talented builders… it’s hard to pick only three favourites.? I enjoyed meeting the friendly folks in the local club down there too. Thanks for making it a great event!??

Let the can settle for a day then poke a very tiny hole close to the top of the can to let any remaining pressure out. Once all the pressure is gone, you can poke a larger hole to pour out the paint. You might want to cover the hole with a rag and shake it up before pouring it out. Be careful removing the rag as there may still be propellant absorbed in the paint. Alternately, you could cut the entire top off after the pressure is gone and stir the paint. https://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/138715-how-to-remove-paint-from-spray-cans-when-nozzle-fails/

CARToons magazine was always fun to read.

I finally broke down and bought it.

Just a guy delivering a set of tires.?

Glitch is a term computer geeks like to use.

My wife has always driven standards. She currently has a 2014 Jeep JKU with a six speed. I sure like my 2013 MX5 PRHT with the M6 transmission.?

Dead are my plans to become rich and famous.
