  1. No shaky hands yet for me, at least that's what I tell myself. When the shaking starts I normally lay the part I'm detailing on the work bench and lay lead weights on the part to hold it steady. Then, I lay my left hand on the work bench and hold my right hand to steady it. Seems to work pretty good but it takes a lot of re-positioning. I don't get this to often and I sometike just wait til it passes.
  2. Thanks for the comment Bob. Not sure about the color. I bought this kit some time back just to use the body for paint test, panel line test, etc. It's been painted about 5 times and there are cuts in the body from trying to scribe the panel lines. The body currently has been airbrushed with Taimiya X-10 Gun Metal but not cleared. I've been waiting for HL to get these kits back in stock so I can get another body but it hasn't happened yet. May just spray the body with Tamiya TS-13 Gloss and be done with it.
  3. Well....at least you got through it Mike. Shouldn't be much left on that double nickle to get it done.
  4. I elected to put the decals on the rotors against my better judgement. Decals and me go way back and we are not the best of friends. With that being said.....I think they turned out ok. I'll paint the inner part a flat steel. Update: after putting the wheels and tires together for a trial fit you can't even see the decals on the rotors. Oh well, they are on there.
  5. I got some of the front suspension other parts in primer yesterday and painted this morning. Not moving fast on this one.
  6. I meant HT. My HT only has a few. They mainly cater to the RC car guys.
  7. Great looking and I like those Flatty's. Can't get enough of the old school look. Nice build.

    62 Impala SS

    Nice looking 62 Impala.
  12. Looks great. Wish they has this kit at my HT.
  13. That's a pretty kewl looking Oldsmobubble as we use to call them when we were kids. Nice job.
  14. Love those Gassers Your 49 turned out great.
  15. Yeah.....same thing hear. I bought another Revell 56 Foose pickup and the 29 Roadsters.
  16. Dang Mike. Can you hold one end and work your way to the other end?
  17. I'm looking at the box of my 29 Roadster and it looks like a small block Chevy with the distributor in the back. Anybody know what Revell had in mind as the engine size for this kit?
  18. That little grocery getter turned out pretty nice Jason. The colors look about the same as the Tamiya Lacquer I got for mine.
  19. That's what I was thinking Chaz. Maybe a little scuffing up is all it would take.
  20. Turning out really nice Michael. HL had their 40% off yesterday so I picked up this kit. Looking forward to the completed build.
  21. Thanks for the comment Rusty. Like my granddaddy use to say.....hope for the best and expect the worst.
  22. Nice build. Love those Ford flat heads.
  23. Thanks Carl. I'm trying to improve on every one I build.
  24. Welcome back to the hobby Teddie. As mentioned the Paasche H is a nice air brush to start with and that's what I use. Practicing on plastic spoons will help a lot.
