  18. Hey Heath First welcome to the forum. My two cents on glues 1. I mix good ol' tube half and half with a bottle of liquid cement and you get the best of both worlds and no strings from the tube glue. especially what I call sub assembles - engine halfs, seats, differentials etc 2. I like super glues, I use the thin one second and the 3 second thick. 3. I usually put glue on an old credit/debt card then place the glue with a toothpick
  19. Yes, add the black panel, I would
  20. Hi harry You got last week. I think it real
  21. Hey I just finished my 1937 Chevy. The theme for this club project was drag racing I build this '37 pure race I used Testor's paint, started with white added blue 'til I was happy with the color. A few light coats of Tamiya clear for the just right finish. I removed the wipers and filled in the cowl vent A completed stock interior, I tinted the windows with a couple of mist coats of clear blue then applied two coats of Future Wax
  22. Thanks Russell I used Testor's Red with Tamiya clear, the interior is light earth I drilled out the Rally Wheels as well I drilled out the grill from behind. This is the first time I have taken pictures of my models with my digital camera.
  23. Hey Guys this my first post. I completed a 1968 Corvette for a club project.
  24. Hi Harry Yoy got me last week. Good Job I think it real
  25. Why I do it First for me it is escapism - new word I can escape to my world. No phone, computer, job, kids. Although my wife, Cheryl asks Why is the TV on? It starts with buying the kit and seeing it finished in your head. I am the designer, bodyman, mechanic, and I do the upholstery. Next I think after the work-a-day world you should do something with your hands Modelling also opens up new worlds for me - research, photograhy, attention to detail. This carrys forward to my other worlds. It is social - like this web forum, communicating world wide. Also with my modelling friends, we get together the third Monday of the month There are about eleven of us, who just sit around and talk about models This month the meeting is Mon. May 18 and the theme is "drag racing" I love cars And it is fun, just do it. Thanks for reading
