I don't see any pictures.

I wish I could step into that picture.

That's a nice shopping trip.

I think you did a great job on this. I like everything about it.

The wife and I watched that movie. We liked it.

Nice ?

Coming along nicely.

Everything looks great, especially the front and rear bumpers.

Wow! Could easily be passed off as the real deal.

Looks great. I have 3 waiting to be built. I hope mine turn out half as nice as yours.

One of my other hobbies is sim racing. There was a website that was well known in that community called No-Grip. They had forums dedicated to every well known sim racing title. There were forums for 3d modelling, track creation, creating skins for cars, physics info, tutorials, along with thousands of files to download. Then one day No Grip ceased to exist. The owner decided that he no longer felt like dealing with the site anymore and simply pulled the plug. Everything was gone. A lot of the members that provided content and knowledge to the forums had moved on, so there was no way to recover that lost information. Humans tend to take things for granted, but the same thing could happen here. There is a ton of creative knowledge here, but if the plug gets pulled lots of great information will be lost.

Super clean build. ?

Hobby Lobby has the Iwata for $5 less than Amazon https://www.hobbylobby.com/Crafts-Hobbies/Model-Kits/Airbrushes/Iwata-NEO-CN-Gravity-Feed-Dual-Action-Airbrush/p/868

Good job. I really like the paint.

Looks great to me.

I've never built one but it doesn't look too difficult. There's a bit of flash on a lot of parts, but not too bad. I will be starting it soon.

Got this off Ebay for what I felt was a reasonable price. Will be starting it soon.

I guess that would explain why I can't see a difference. Thank you very much.

Black is what I was thinking. Thank you for your help.

I am definitely keeping my eye on this thread. Looks real.

Which primer color gives aluminum paint the most realistic appearance? My eyes aren't what they used to be and I can't see any difference when using white, black, or gray.

Thank you for the tips. I'm going to give it a soak in Super Clean and have another try.

Did my first paint job with an airbrush. Tried it on a spare body. Turned out better than I was expecting. It's got a couple of small runs. I don't know if the paint was too thin or if I got too close. Also, there is orange peel in the clearcoat.

I like that a lot. Very nice.

I watched Ant's show on the Motor Trend app. Enjoyed it very much. I recommend Faster with Finnegan if you like dumb fun with cars. Also on the Motor Trend app. Probably available on non streaming as well.
