Art.. what pressure do you spray at?

X2 I got my first.. and not last.. order from The Sales Shack today. I am very impressed with them. They packed the big box well.

More pictures of you setups

On Amazon right now they want $44 for the Chevy and $22 for Danica's Ford. I would love to get the Chevy but I haven't found it anywhere for less than $30. I got two of Danica's for $18 shipped... probably should have gotten more.

Nice.. those Chevy kits are expensive compared to the Ford ones

I like that Johnson car in the background David. You do good work, I'm surprised I don't remember any of your builds pics posted here.

Thanks Raymond, I will do that.. I'm definitely going to practice on something other than the car body before attempting again, but only because you suggested it. I didn't even think about a plastic soda bottle.

Nice Jonathan.. you sure can pump them out. How many of these new Ford kits do you have in your stash?

Two reasons... it has crazed every model I have used it straight out of the can because I get it on to thick I guess and also because this prototype car has lots of fins and tunnels that the paint won't go into from the can. I need to back the flow down and get it in there. That is kinda what I was thinking.. so I should back down the pressure? I might have to try 15 psi next since it is so thin.

Looking good!

I never had any problems airbrushing craft acyrlics.. it all just went on smooth. It just isn't durable enough and I never could get a good gloss with it so I have moved to lacquers. I decanted some Duplicolor Sandable Primer that I hear so much about here and tried to put on a light, first coat so I wouldn't get any crazing. It came out like sandpaper (see photo below). What am I doing wrong? I shot it with a Paasche H, #5 needle and nozzle at between 25 and 35 psi with the same results.

Thanks Bob.. I have some of this but I just thought it would have melted the surface. I'll have to give it a try.

Hey Bob.. what is the best liquid cement for this?

Looks awesome

Sounds easy enough Bruce.. Thanks!

You talking about this one? I don't like old cars but I do like the look of the old stock cars. I'll have to get some. I like the 60's petty cars.. maybe HL will stock these now that they are out of Revells. I can handle the paint scheme but I don't know how to take car of the ride height?

Me too... that is my favorite part of building a model.

Thanks... that's good because I should know what I am doing by the time I get to the last one.

Good job!

Good idea... Do all the Monogram cars build up the same? The AMT Petty car only has a few parts so I thought about starting with that one. One thing I noticed with these older kits is the plastic looks and feels thicker and better than the newer ones.

Looks great Chris and you got it done fast. You definitely know what you are doing.

How much do you want for that Turbo Pete?

I've seen your builds and I don't have your talent yet Mark... I've got a long way to go to get to your level. They all look cool to me and inspire me.. For example, which kit below should a newb start with.. these are the ones I have purchased so far?

I'm not going to be there but I am rooting for you Chris! Can't wait to see your new build announcement. I'm also looking forward to all three of your completions of the build off with Clay and John.

From those two pics Steve, I think I like yours better. Maybe you need to put it on eBay and see what it would do.. how quick can you build one of those? Might be a lot of money in it for you.
