Nobody a Joe Walsh fan? He and Don Felder woke up the Eagles when they joined up.
Hi Bob!
His CD "Analog Man" contains many exciting guitar solos.

Another stunner Claude! I too love the color combo, although that engine compartment is particularly cool. Thank you for posting.
Thanks Emre!
I always had a soft spot for this body design, so, had to do it!

Hi!
Try to limit myself to 4 at once... otherwise, I loose focus and slow down too much. Five was my "worst". Oh well...

Why is my paint job dusty?

Hi!
The Wall Mart generic lacquer thinner is VERY hot, meaning it might attack the styrene your model is made of. Further, it can de-bond the primer (and paint) molecules so that they refuse to form a film, as they would with model thinner (such as Tamya's). To be certain, try your same routine and products with Tamya's lacquer thinner.
I rencently ruined a test panel by thinning model acrylic paint (a British brand) with Tamya's ACRYLIC thinner. The hobby store paint dept guy told me Tamya's acrylic thinner contained alcool, which was too strong for this paint. I tested it with pure water, and it airbrushed flawlesly.
Thinner matters! Good luck
