Working on a Revell 32 Ford. Building a Highboy but using the Ford engine. Paint is Tamiya x-32 Titanium Silver and Tamiya x-7 Red. I am missing some chassis and suspension parts, have them on order. All comments welcome and thanks for looking. Yes that's a green tomato on the upper right, I'm thinking of slicing it up and frying it.

That's a great looking Mustang Michelle. Nice work.

Beautiful work. Very sharp.

Thanks. Thanks Mike. Thank you. Thank you.

Thanks David. Thank you. Thanks. Thanks Bob. Thanks Tim. Thank you. Thanks David. Thanks.

I use a cordless dremel. Charge the battery to about half power and it works great.

Had a few problems with this one, but finally got it together, warts and all. The color is ScratchesHappen Azure Metallic Blue. This was a bottle of touchup paint I had for my Buick Encore GX. It mixed well with some cheap lacquer thinner and sprayed good through my airbrush. The interior is Tamiya Acylic Blue. Clear is floor polish sprayed with airbrush. Straight out of box build, I added plug wires and a fuel line to the carb. I had the kit in my stash for about 2 years, the chrome trees were spotted, looking like the plating was coming off. The small bits were ok like that, but I stripped the bumpers and grille, then sprayed them with Krylon Original Chrome. It looks good but not as bright as the kit chrome. I did the side trim with BMF, and really messed it up. After that I finished the rest of the trim with a Molotow pen. Lost one of the rear backup lights bezel, so had to make do without it. Not a show car, so it will do. All comments welcome, and thanks for looking.

How am I just finding this. I remember your awesome D-100 build. Really enjoyed following it, and I will enjoy following this one. Now to go back and catch up.

Nice. I like the green.

I've been handling the bumpers and grille I did with the Krylon and it's holding up well. And from some of the photos I've seen my 6 dollar can of Krylon Chrome looks just as good as the Revell and Molotow stuff.

Looks great. Nice work.

Beautiful 57 Bob. Nice work.

I had this happen with a Paasche Talon. I took a small drill bit and twisted it into the packing, then took pliers on the end of the bit and pulled it out. The drill bit needs to be just a little bigger than the hole in the packing. I tried a couple before I found the right size that would catch on it.

After checking on molotow refill and Revell Chrome, the prices are out of my budget. I was going to email Round2 but then remembered I had bought a can of Krylon Original Chrome spray at Micheals about a year ago. I decided to try it. It's not as bright as the kit chrome, but I think it looks ok.

This guy has always impressed me. He does some unconventional stuff. Justin Johnson. Added percussion with rattlesnake rattles.

I'm thinking of stripping it, getting a molotow pen refill and spraying it.

Yes, it looks like the black bare plastic showing through. But it must have happened before it was bagged. I just opened the kit, it was still sealed and already like that.

AMT 61 Chevy SS. The kit has been in my stash for a couple years. Decided to build it and noticed all the chrome is spotted. It's worse and most notable on the bumpers and grille. What's the best way to deal with it. I tried cleaning with alcohol but it did nothing.

My local HL had the Ford F-100 and the Dodge Demon today. I got the Demon, 40% off.

Picked this up from my local HL today.

I use the Testor's enamels from time to time. I take the bottle and dump it into a 1oz. paint bottle. I then fill the Testor's bottle with cheap lacquer thinner and shake it up really well. Then dump that into the 1oz bottle with the paint. Shake it well. It sprays great like that, and usually does not require any clear as it comes out nice a shiny.

I use Tamiya Acrylics, the X and XF ones. They spray very well and are very forgiving. I either thin them with cheap lacquer thinner or Mr. Hobby Leveling Thinner. For primer I use the Mr. Hobby 1000 in the spray can. For clear the Tamiya X-22 works well.
