Small update. A Gasser has to have tinted windows I did two test spray outs of yellow and blue. I’m going with the blue. Need to get the body and hood clear coated soon. I used createx transparent air brush paint to paint the clear glass

Yes they stick really good. I have got a few old models and neither purple power or 91% alcohol will remove the paint even letting it soak over night.

It worked almost instantly on this paint. On other paint it’s not worked at all. It has not damaged any plastic that I have soaked in it.

Working on saving another swap $7 meet find. this had a terrible gold runny paint job. Soaked n stripped in 91% alcohol. Vallejo grey primer. I’m leaning toward building this gasser style. the flames are from lazy modeller. I am pleased with My first attempt at applying flames. ?

It’s my 11th completed model this year. The paint colors are: Sky blue vallejo polar/artic white dupli-color clear gloss krylon prewired distributor from Greg’s scale model accessories.

Thank you. It was fun low pressure build. Tried some new things and had fun.

Finished today. Rebuilder a friend gave me. Thanks for looking.

Finished this morning. All things considered it turned out pretty good. All the bumpers weren’t very good. I managed to use the rear and it won’t have a front bumper. On to the next one...I’ll post more under glass

Thank you guys for compliments. That Aztec paint looks different with the black primer.

That’s very cool. I got the same panel truck on my bench. Not sure what direction I’m going to take it. Playing around with the airbrush a couple saturdays ago. I got 2 + others ahead of it. Yours turned out great!

I agree!

Thank you and I’m sure you will pull it off just fine, I’m looking forward to seeing you get started.

Great job! I think it’s well thought and well executed.

Incredible detail work. You got major skills man! Killer job!

That is one awesome build!! What did u use on the interior over the wheel tubs? Everything is top notch. Great job man!

Small update. BMF is all done. Also, hood ornament is pinned on. Grille, headlights, marker lights, tail lights all done. The stance is almost complete. Front has been lowered slightly. The tail lights could’ve been better but considering it’s a rebuild and not new parts it’s about as hood as I’m going to do them. The engine I was thinking of using isn’t going to work with the good on so it’s going to have to be used for another build.

thank you both I will try both methods. I will have to get me some micro krystal klear. Any advice on printing out small decals for the air cleaner, battery, radiator stickers things like that. I have even seen small magazine covers laying in front seat of models. What are the methods for accomplishing this. I have done some google searches and found images but upon reducing the scale alot of the clarity disappears. Anyone have any recommendations.

How do u prep the clear plastic ? Any sanding or just make sure it’s clean and spray it?

I saw that in the hobby shop and thought about trying to shoot the smoke through my airbrush.

I will have to try. I’m try to attach the window tint to the clear part without it showing? Do u think the micro crystal clear will work for that?

I have a Nesco brand I purchased from amazon. It has a adjustable thermostat. I also purchased a couple of extra trays so I could leave the paint bodies on the paint stand and be able to fit them inside the hydrator. I use at the 105’ setting. I usually leave in overnight and everything is ready when I wake up. You have to cut the center out of the trays to obtain depth. I left one tray with a partial bottom that serves as a shelf for smaller parts while allowing me to place a body or bodies onto the bottom tray. Everything is working good. I recommend.

I got Little more progress done on the nomad. Not much though. Hopefully i’ll begin work on engine soon. Trying to the tint windows using a piece of window tint film cut to size. Challenging attaching without it leaving a noticeable spot. Does anyone have any recommendations or suggestions?

That’s really ? cool man

Thanks man. It was opened when he passed it along to me. I believe it came that way from AMT. Nice model and I’m sure I would’ve loved the 1:1 too. Those tri5’s are just classics.

There’s lots of really cool builds in this thread. That school bus is so cool and the wagon rod and 37 ford sedan. Some inspiring stuff for sure!
