Looking forward to this one. I assumed it would be out in April like now 😂 I'm getting a little bored with the ford trucks though, this body style is having a problem with warped hoods in all the recent kits.. wish they sell just the wrecker bed on its own.

Started adding the bare metal foil trim. I decided to add the chrome trim on the sides, not to many Nova’s had that I think it looks cool

Round tip tweezers are also better than pointy tweezers for holding small things and not shooting them across the room lol

Paint on the ‘69 nova, I used a purple flake, then 4 coats of candy pink, then pearl clear over everything. Then 5 coats of Mr.color gloss lacquer. Just gotta wet sand and polish it out still . Let it sit for the rest of the month to cure My Movie 41.mov

Another Dupli-Color primer question
JET. replied to NOBLNG's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Like some others, I’ve had nothing but problems with this brand, primer/clear/paint. From texture and finish issues, to cans simply not spraying anything out of them… And also with the extreme rise in cost of this paint at least where I am it’s not worth ever using again lol. I switched to Mr.color and tamiya lacquers and have had zero problems since. Duplicolor changed something and it’s garbage now. -

Tyrrell 003 - tamiya 1/12

I just use Mr.color paints I find they work great and never give any problems

Wires added, you can probably guess what color the car will be now lol, oh and I had to remake the fuel line cause not only did I break it off, it also interfered with the alternator haha
-
Started this a while back, got around to polishing the paint job today. on my kit the upper cowl was really warped so I ended up just gluing it together lol
-
I don’t find syringe very useful since they are impossible to cut I use micro aluminum tubing easily sliced with a knife , 0.8mm for plug boots. 0.5mm for fuel lines

Scribing body lines AFTER a few coats of paint
JET. replied to Hawk312's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I do this on airplane models. But you use the sharp side of the blade, It works great to get the finest possible lines with no “washes” which is more realistic on car models its best to just scribe everything ahead of time though. -
Hey guys, finished up this Tamiya 1/48 tomcat
-
Stopped at the one in Niagara Falls, they usually have a decent amount of kits and they had zero and the section was gone .. the one in St.Catharines has a few and some paint thrown underneath in bulk. Looks like once it’s gone that’s it. they only ever had the same 5 kits for the last 10 years though so not missing much. I get most things at sunward hobbies , elm city hobbies or wheels and wings hobbies all in Canada online or in person. also the St.Catharines store went to all self checkouts.. so I don’t even go there for anything anymore

Finished up this one, another great truck from moebius!
-
lol, it’s just the free music in the iMovie app, called “high noon” by Patric warren
-
lol yes “large” they are to large for 1/25 scale is what I’m trying to show here this paint is perfectly in scale for this type of look. ✌️
-
Finished up the seat, I think I stole it from one of ‘29 or ‘32 ford kits. lol
-
I was referring to metal flake.. as in show cars and hot rods. A metal flake base that you spray candy colors over.. Not metallic paint
-
Thanks, yeah my Instagram is @eighty3studios my other hobby is car photography lol, they are photoetch bolt heads from top studio ( 0.6mm ) I superglue them on then use debonder to remove the extra superglue since it’s on a piece of aluminum sheet for the firewall. I used them on the front axle mount too but attached them with future floor wax
-
lol, I noticed in old photos lots of the early drag cars were painted in purple and pinks.
-
I’m building the side by side engine version. Painted in silver metal flake with candy pink over top.
