  1. For painting model bodies, any size is ok- you will get used to it. Practice on plastic spoons. Lots os them. The createx that I have used, I did need to thin down. Check out me thread in WIP country Charger. I do kind a stop by step on how I do it. You can see the reusults.
  2. Mike! That is exactly how I’m doing it. I have some left over 1/4 fine line from some Harley parts I painted and am putting that down first. I ordered some #11 blades, but the haven’t come in yet, and I’m still waiting on the drill bits. I’m so impatient. I have to remember to be gentile with this stuff. Used to working on 1:1 stuff
  3. I guess. Am impatient. I polishe and started the BMF not sure if I am up to BMF the wheel well moldings....more to come
  4. Looking good! I usually glue the headers on then set the engine in the chassis with the exhaust to make sure everything lines up.
  5. Yes! That will get you started off on the right foot. Learn about thinking the paint, use plastic spoons to practice
  6. I hope so. First look at the kit, isn’t great. The tail lights are completely wrong and not well crafted. I’ll have to get creative to make it look decent!
  7. Thanks Mike. Here is the paint I used
  8. I’m waiting for spring! Once I can play with the real toys, this will slow way down
  9. I hav always wanted to own a car that I could get a model of. Last year I bought a 1:1 Camaro. This a snap kit, but it will be cool to do a simple build this time
  10. Looks great!
  11. Just picked this up. What can I say, I’m a sucker for a Trans Am
  12. Slight progress update. I have all the sub assemblies finished. Re coated the body with another coat of future and stripped and repainted the hood. I’m going to let these sit for a week or so before I try to polish them out
  13. I have seen any around here in a long time. The winters and rock salt for melting snow and ice from the roads turned them in to rust buckets quite quickly.
  14. Great build! Really brings back memories! I had a 1974 Celica GT in bright red. What fun times were had in that buggy
  15. FLHCAHZ

    pony up

    Really Cool. I dig the speaker system in the back seat!
  16. Nice work! Looks just like a 1:1
  17. Excellent detail work. Looks amazing.
  18. Thanks. I'll get her fixed up!
  19. Looks fantastic! Nice work
  20. Looking great. I agree about the tires for sure.
  21. I'm not sure, I will have to check the bottle when I get home. I do know I bought it at Hobby Lobby
