Not for the faint of hear...
Jon Cole replied to Daddyfink's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Hindsight is 20/20. All that would have done is left two destroyed cars chained to the tops of lifts. I don't know if it was the flood, or the wind that did them in. Probably both. -
Nice! Nice!

As a Mini owner (2007), this is a must buy. Even if it is a diff gen car.

One doesn't come across a '76 Buick Skyhawk too often. Thought it was a Chevy Monza at first. Man said he had it fixed and repainted to match the one from his youth. -
Would I be wrong to assume that many parts will need to be chrome stripped? Treadless tires, excess chrome parts, I don't know if I'll bite on this one. Not with so many other kits to catch my attention (what little I have)

I believe the smiley face is centered just fine. Perhaps it may seem off because the fuel tank has what I think is a protrusion for the fuel pump; just to the right.

Awesome rendition! Love the colors... and the p-etch grille!

Not one, but two orange C8's at a stop light. No way to get a pic, so I grabbed one from the 'net. This, but x2: -
Wasn't the '75 Caprice reissue announced at some point? I can't seem to locate it. Anyway, I never knew there was a T-top version of the car. Would make an interesting conversion.

That looks so bitchin'! -

I need a Ford flathead green. And it has to be a Tamiya spray. Only because my living arrangement makes airbrushing difficult. So, take a look at the pic below. Tamiya military colors I took a few years back at a hobby shop. Anyone familiar with the selection? Is there any one Tamiya color I could drive back there to get? EDIT: Those "AS-" tags may be for the shelf above; not in the pic.

With the right modifications, that "Sweathog's Dream Machine" has possibilities. Replace the pie plate headlights, and the wide whites. Give it a full roof. Don't know what the back looks like.

Baking Powder as Flocking?
Jon Cole replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
"There are CA accelerators specifically designed to safely set the CA glue. Why not use those?" And THAT is the money shot! On to my hobby shopping list it is. Thanks, Peteski! -

What Do You Use To Replicate Chrome Trim
Jon Cole replied to 69NovaYenko's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Two things I would like to add, if I may. Sometimes I have trouble gripping the X-Acto handle, so I tried holding a raw #11 blade between my finger & thumb. It seemed to help. Second idea, tho mentioned by others already, is to use a metal ruler to cut a length of BMF. Apply like you would with pinstripe tape. This is more suited for straight chrome trim, tho I suppose it could be used around windows and such. Only after it is in place where you like it, do you then burnish it. Good luck with experimenting. -

Jon Cole replied to JollySipper's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Well, tho off topic, but we ARE talking baking powder, I use it as a glue setting. Especially for superglue. Would the moisture absorbency be an issue there?
