  1. That bad boy is up there!! Sharp
  2. Looks good, as did the Corvair..
  3. Hey Steve, this was just 5 minutes after using, I've had some where the bubbles go all the way to the rim.
  4. Same as Ray, never any problems with DC, except!! After spraying the nozzles continue to seep out primer. Makes a H of a mess.
  5. I like it.. super clean build. I haven't built anything in 24 hrs since I was just a teen.
  6. Wild Wiily's, very nice. Got any pictures of that cool Nova??
  7. Most washes have three basic components in common: The wash medium, that makes up the bulk of the wash (usually water); The pigment (paint, ink, etc.); And a surfactant (something that reduces the surface tension of water). This is what allows the wash to settle down into the crevices of the model, rather than “pooling” on the surface. For years, painters used a basic wash of water + paint + dish soap to achieve this. Many still use just that, and it can work well. Found here. https://modelrailwayengineer.com/model-making-101-making-washes/ Hope this helps
  8. Really nice blue paint job.. I like the black wheel version more than the updated one..either way it will be sharp.
  9. Cool build, never did like the wrong bed ideal Ford chose..
  10. Not really planning any for 21, I've got to spend some time on my 1;1 getting it freshened up, new tires, maybe swap out current wheels for some Cragars, redo the interior, etc...
  11. Really enjoyed all of your green trucks, so what color will it be in 21?
  12. Truck is cool. Every year I say I'm going to do a garden like yours, always wind up doing it the ole traditional way...maybe 2021.
  13. Nice group of builds, really like the white Mustang, don't see that color on those very often. Well done
  14. Thanks everyone, I really hope these will be done in 21. I think they are from the RM 32 Ford kit,
  15. More to come..
  16. 2020 has not been my year to finish builds, so I thought I'd show some of the stalled builds that are "on" the bench.
  17. I would just make a set from solder....
  18. That thing is beat!! needs a nice truck to hook to it.
  19. Rollbot Picture this: You're sitting on the toilet. You reach for toilet tissue and the cardboard roll is empty. So, you make sure no one is around before scuffling out of the bathroom to grab a replacement. We've all been there. Charmin created a concept robot that solves this very specific and very relatable dilemma. Rollbot will bring toilet paper to you when you're stranded on the commode without toilet paper, but only if you have your smartphone with you to summon it. The self-balancing autonomous robot can't grab the toilet paper out of the cupboard, so you may just be better off asking a loved one to do you a solid.
