My first attempt at BMF
SCRWDRVR replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It was definitely easier than I thought it would be and I think with some practice I can get them pretty good, And I want to thank you Steve for all the info you have shared with me on this and other detail work you have made a huge difference in my knowledge and have been a huge part of helping me step up my builds..... Thank you -
My first attempt at BMF
SCRWDRVR replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I used 2 methods to see which I liked better, first I used a toothpick soaked in lacquer thinner which worked pretty good until the painted started getting hard then it started to kind off peel the paint rather than take it off so I changed up to using a pointed craft cotton swap with lacquer thinner on it to wipe the paint off (very lightly) and that worked really well I thought and will probably be how I do it from now on.... Thanks for all the encouragement and comments guys... -
My first attempt at BMF

Thanks all, I think I will definetly be using it a lot more Thanks, I picked that color because I had a 1:1 many years ago that was what I called olive green and was very similar to this color... It is a good color for the car though.. -

I made my first attempt at using BMF and used it under paint. For my first try I did the emblems on my 69 AMX. What do you think for my first try?

Sorry for your loss, loosing a pet is like loosing a member of the family because that's just what they are and never an easy time.... -
I do that too, it's definitely easier then sifting though the bottles to figure out whats what....

Sorry for your loss but happy for your new found furr baby... We have 4, two sets of siblings. The first set we got out of a rescue, the second set we acquired by there mom and all 5 kittens making a home in our garage, they were only a day or two old when we found them. We found them all homes including mom... He is a beautiful cat, we call ours “our second generation of kids”

Revell completely new Mustang coming
SCRWDRVR replied to SCRWDRVR's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The 71 to 73 Mustang have always been my favorite Mustang by far, I just wish if they were going to give a us a new kit it would be something we either didn't have or was very hard to find. -

I think the photo etch parts are going to be the very last thing I do and I'll use my white glue so I can get used to working with the parts a little before I use something stronger. I am going to pick up some of the other glues I've seen here that I don't have to try working with them. I also think I'm going to make up a few of those applicators from the needles that's a great idea... -
I know in Delaware the easement is 5ft on sides and rear of the property and 10 ft in the front which gives them 10 feet all the way around the property. It's used mostly for repairs of existing utilities but new stuff also. In some areas the sidewalk is right at the curb and some have what we call a planning strip which is the grass area between sidewalk and curb. In that strip they can do most anything they want...

I'll have to add that to my shopping list, I've decided I'm going to set myself up a little test with different glues that way I can try it out without messing up my car... -

Interest, I guess you just dip those in the glue to apply it? Will that damage the painted parts?.... -

I will put the those q-tips on my shopping list as well as a thin roll of low tack tape I needed some anyway but I'll get some 1/4 inch for that, The knife I use all the time is round so that should help me out some but I will keep in mind to be light on my cutting.... Thanks...
