bluestringer

I used Rustoleum paints in the past and always had problems with them. Except the Bright Coat Metallic Finish which works fine and I still use it. I changed over to Tamiya Acrylic in the bottles and starting using an airbrush, getting decent results. The other day I tried Tamiya TS spray paint for the first time and it is good stuff. Only problem is no one near me carries it and I had to order from hobbylinc, and it's too expensive to use it much. The small cans don't go far.

Retirement? I highly recommend it.

I use just regular generic lacquer thinner from Walmart. Works fine. I have in the past used Mr. Hobby Leveling Thinner, it works fine also.

The General file handle I posted also has the rotating cap. That's the way I use it, and it's large enough to get a good grip.

They also work well in the General file set handle.

Thanks. I used my xacto knife with a thin chisel blade to get most of it, then sanded the rest down.

This is the Foose kit, but I built it without the Foose badging. I removed Foose from the tailgate and did not use any Foose decals. Also used a different color scheme, purple and black. For some reason the purple looks blue in the photos. I added plug wires to the engine, but that's about all as far as extra details. I dechromed the bumpers and I first painted them black, but the paint didn't come out good so I stripped the black and repainted them the same purple as the body. The paint is Tamiya acrylic purple, and Kyron black. All comments welcome and thanks for looking.

Beautiful Impala. Excellent work.

Really nice looking build Bob.

On the subject of a pay to play thing. In the photography forum I am a member of they have different tiers of support, the more you pay the more access and things you can do. Like for a certain amount you are allowed a certain amount of uploads of photos. There is also a post count tier that allows so many photos for a certain amount of posts, the more post, the more photos allowed. But the support is not mandatory, you can still post, read post, etc. but you are limited to what you can do. A certain amount of support, money or post count will allow you a certain amount of uploads. If you reach your upload limit you have to delete photos to upload more. But if you are a big supporter, money and posts, you can get unlimited uploads. Hope that makes sense.

I used the frame from the 66 Nova Pro Street, it is already tubbed. Had to do a little trimming to the wheel wells to get the big tires to fit.

Thanks.

Thanks. I think I have one I can use, just have to find it.

Done. Didn't come out quite like I wanted, but it's ok.

Bashed up a 66 Nova pro street with a 69 Nova Yenko. Had to do some work to make things fit, still didn't come out too good. But it's ok. Paint is Testors Gloss Blue cut 50/50 with generic lacquer thinner. All comments welcome. Thanks for looking. Tying to find a Georgia tag for it, think maybe I got one in my parts box.
