  4. Hi Joe! In my experience, which is very satisfying, you need primer. I use Tamya's fine white primer. I tried clear, both lacquer and water based, and they do NOT improve gloss or reflectivity. I usually start with a medium coat of chrome, let flash, and follow with a heavy wet coat. Let dry for a couple of days before handling, with care. I painted inner paneling on funny car (1/25) bodies, and the effect was perfect. (see pic) Expensive, but worth it. Compared to Alclad chrome, it is less dark. Good luck with your project! CT
  5. Hi Dave! Your mastery of software is in full display again! All is fine, glitches solved. Thanks a million! CT
  6. Hi Daniel! I share your point of view. Neither do I enter a model a second time at the same contest, much less so if I had the chance to win with it in previous editions of the same contest. However, I build about 8-10 new models every year, and I show them in the four contest that are held in our neck of the wood. So do many fellow modelers, and that's what I meant by "the usual suspects". Be as it may, who may complain of "overseeing" a terrific model, anyways...LOL CT
