I've used the ones made & sold by Micro-Mark and had pretty good luck with them. I suspect the Archer ones are similar. They went on just like any other decal, let them set and hit them with a bit of Micro Set. I can't answer your question as to size, but the ones I used were for HO scale and I used them on an off topic rocket kit. I think G scale model railroad equates to roughly 1/25. That may be a good starting point. I know these decal rivets are big with the railroad guys.

I owned a restoration shop doing nothing but pre-1965 stuff. I accumulated quite bit of literature & manuals etc. Over the years I'd put a little on ebay here & there. I finally got tired of messing with it and what didn't sell I gave away. Vintage car parts used to be a good seller as well, but it's nothing like it used to be. The whole thing with shipping can be a real profit sniper and it's usually on items you least expect. I don't use any ebay shipping program either. I box the sold items and still write the addresses out with a marker & take them to the post office. I suspect at some point the price of shipping is going to make buying off sites like ebay untenable. I did have a ebay seller message me tonight saying he'd refund me $2 for overcharging shipping on a kit. a holy grail kit at that!

Canopy Glue, Humbrol Clearfix (can even be used to make small windows or lenses) are the main ones I use.

Thanks for posting that link Casey. That was an interesting read!

While not about the latest mould acquisition, but still relevant. From the comments in one of their latest posts. Is there any hope of manufacturing the old Monogram, 1/8 scale, Chevy 283 V8 engine? I first had this kit in the mid-1960s. Fantastic model. I really hope you can do it folks Hide or report this Author Atlantis Toy and Hobby You know we have the original molds for the red parts and black parts which are the deepest cavities. However I think it would be cool to recreate all the chrome parts. These parts were used for most of the 1/8 scale Big T cars. So we would have to make new molds for them. All the parts that came chromed in kit.

These two came in the mail today. I still need about 5 more of each kit however!

That is nice! Have never seen one before.

That's insane! I've seen Floquil sell for that price or more. My Floquil stash from the late 80s is low but I'll be darned if I'm paying that. Maybe I should throw up some Model Master on epay & use that money to buy more kits.

Yes sir that's a haul! That red oxide is my favorite rattle can primer. Use it on every build.

My HL has the same old thing. Nothing on clearance, etc. I did stop in the Daytona Beach HL and found a AMT '61 Impala for $14.99. Used my coupon at the register and got a great deal!

Nice! I have one of those Orange Krisp diecasts to do just what your friend did. I probably built 10 of the AMT '56 kits when i was a kid. Somewhere I still have a couple from all those years back.

If you have any Ollie's nearby, they almost always have Duplicolor stuff. Just bought 4 cans of Duplicolor primer for 2.96/can. I'm set for the rest of the year!

Tom- Mostly 20s-60s cars & trucks with the occasional venture into OT stuff like aircraft & space.

I have a thing for '55 & '56 Fords. Have owned a bunch of 1:1's over the years and of course kits of the same. Picked up this reissue to add to my ever growing car kit stash. I built it once before, I'll likely build this one too.

According to the post on FB, Atlantis says no Monogram or Aurora molds. That narrows it down some.

Nice work! Tempted to try this myself. Had a 1:1 '61 Starliner at one point. One of the few cars I regret selling.

Testors is going more after the soccer mom crowd with their "Crafternoon" campaign as seen on their Facebook page. I suspect to the bean counters there is a bigger return in catering to the folks painting napkin rings on a rainy Saturday afternoon with the kids than the people like us. The phasing out of Model Master has been in the works for some time. Those of us who build aircraft are still lamenting the loss of the military color line a year or so ago. I have a couple hundred bottles of Model Master I bought when an LHS closed down. Hopefully I'll be able to use them before they dry out. I read on the Fine Scale forum that Revell paint is coming to the states. I'm interested in trying those. I still use Floquil, Humbrol, and of course the square bottle Testors. If Testors continues to sell their line of spray paint, they need to update the nozzle. Like trying to paint a mailbox with a firehose.

First car build in 25+ yrs. Being built pretty much box stock to get my feet wet again! Everything is brush painted except the body which was rattle can with colors I had laying around.

Just getting back into the model car & truck side of the hobby after a long absence. Have been reading the various forums and it looks like a good group here. I've enjoyed reading the various posts!
