  1. Well, I just don't know. Sounds daunting?
  2. One weekend??? Beautiful, that interior looks great, perfect sheen on the "leather" seats.
  3. So did it come off fairly easy??
  4. Rick, I'll take that '66 kit off your hands if you can do without it LOL. They are rarer then hens teeth!!!!!
  5. Kind of a tough decision for me on this one. But it seems all MY decisions are tough. Maybe I overthink too much?
  6. Hi Mike.  I really don't know if it will fit, wonder if it is 1/25 or 1/24 scale. I guess it could make a difference.

  7. Not sure I have it in me to tackle stripping all that paint off. Just getting the paint off the hood was a chore tho I didn't use the "purple pond" method.
  8. OK all you Guys' who have chimed in on this lengthy thread I started with your opinions and suggestions I think I have come to a drastically different conclusion. After beating the Createx subject to death and looking long and hard at my Cutlass paint job, I've pretty much decided to go the Scalefinishes route. I just don't like the look and feel of the finish and really don't want to clear it and have to deal with removing it if it still doesn't look good enough for me. So my next question, can I spray the Scalefinishes base over the Createx acrylic (after sanding of course or steel wooling) or should I reprime it over the Createx?? I know there will be some interesting comments so bring it on LOL.
  9. Wow, some super cool stuff there.
  10. Darn cool looking car, what a sleeper it would make with a LS6 454.
  11. ElCamino looks nice Sam and good color, what paint (type and brand) is it?
  12. Some great looking and to say the least unusual cars. For me, WTH is the deal with the raised hood on that Cutlass??
  13. Thanks Jim, was actually able to successfully airbrush the tint on the .15 Acrylic sheet and the back glass. Model Master Transparent.
  14. Not a pickup guy but thats a way cool looking truck?
  15. Good to know Dave. The guage is new and liquid filled so it won't wobble. I still think I wasn't payng attention to the pressure after the first release of air.
  16. Very nice bigcat Tim, beautiful color. ?
  17. "10/4" Dave. I'm thinking I was only paying attention to the initial pressure drop so most likely it was only dropping a very small amount while spraying. I still haven't figured out how to get a good thinning mix although I did try some Folkart black enamel craft paint mixing it with the Createx 4012 and 4030 and got a darn smooth finish on a spoontest. It actually dried to a slightly shiny finish, maybe a more than satin. Unfortunately the weather here south of Nashville for net week is about to go downhill, highs in the mid to 30's so no painting in the garage next week. As alwaysl, I look forward to your comments my friend.
  18. Ahhh, someone finally built a late model COPO Camaro, Looks awesome Glen?
  19. Looks great Johnny, interesting color tho??
  20. Very well done Wylde, I like it?
  21. Was a big fan of NASCAR (would'nt miss a race on TV and went to Bristol and Talledega) but its been several years since I've seen a race. The cars, the new generation of drivers, the rules just have no appeal any longer for me. It's a farce. RIP our families' favorite driver, Davey Allison.
  22. The recent BMF I recieved was the same way (tho maybe not that bad) so probably so. Mine flatened out with gentle pressure.
  23. I resprayed the hood I mentioned earlier and got it to match the rest of the body. Still undecided on a clear, probably because I don't get out much and really don't like to like to order too much on line and pay rediculous shipping. So I guess unless I do decide to order something I'll have too. Locally I'd say it would be Krylon (or maybe Rustoleum?), Duplicolor, Hobby Lobby ModelMaster or Testors. Would like to try the Createx but HL for some reason doesn't sell the clear ya'll recommended. Of course , Future is still a consideration since I have bottle of it, but seems it gets frowned on a good bit.
  24. I didn't catch that. Well nice models anyway.
  25. Very nice and reaslistic looking?
