what color did you paint the coolant tank? I hate seeing coolant tanks white just doesn't look right.

I found this which looks good. Actual hard maple 1x1x12. It's called hobby wood https://www.bellforestproducts.com/hobby-wood/

I've been planning to get this trailer, but i was also curious on how to go about doing wood beams for the top. The pic of balsa wood look like mini wood beams, and i was thinking i could just airbrush them with a wood grain paint or use a oil based paint to get a wood look. Any ideas? or something better than the balsa wood?

Yeah i don't like his gloss lacquer, but his interior lacquer colors are great.

These are nice too for air lines for the back.

Most folks now days use alclad, AK metal colors, vallejo metal colors. I'd keep an eye out on robotkai website and there metallic paints from extra metal and prime metal. There all out of stock right now though. But mr hobby has there super metallic line too which are GREAT! But you can't go wrong with Alclad or AK metal colors.

Yeah not sure, but it should be outlawed along with pulling out cat converters. Some of them trucks be high like them guys with there empire state building antennas on the back of there truck like there trying to contact jesus.

Think those are 32's hence the emblem lol

Never heard such a thing.

Yeah it's horrible around the scotland county area. Some of them look cool, but i think it's just dumb.

I seen a set of those yesterday and the chick that got out had the same size fake eyelashes on haha

The way the light hits your truck it almost looks like a grey now lol. I bet the avalanche grey will look beautiful. Grey is my favorite color almost all shades of it lol.

That's what she said........Sorry couldn't resist.

WOW! Those look so real! Awesome job you guys.

The trends i hate around here are 1.Jacked up trucks in the front like they think there in a big rig. 2.Lights on the inside of rims and usually 1 &2 are combined. 3.Dudes that mess with there trucks and cars that are super loud and annoying that sound like dirt bikes. 4.Modern & older cars on 30+ inch rims looking like hot wheels.

That's awesome man. Here is a tip for those micro brushes though. You can get 500 or more of them off amazon for like $8. There good quality too.

Right! That's the reason i never bought a set from them. There's a sucka out there some where that'll drop about $25-$30 that's with shipping.

Looks like a blue robin easter egg candy lol

Hobbylinc & ebay order

I wish i could of took a pic and i can't even find one, but a corvette i think one of the new ones and it looked like it has a glass bowl on top LOL.

Some of those gundam colors are good for zoid kits too ?

No you actually have it backwards lol. Micro set is used to set the decal in place while also softening the decal to than be set in place, and Micro sol is used if you need to get the decal around details etc and for that painted on look. I recommend using water and little bit of dawn to get the decal in place where you want it and than use micro set, and after that if the decal is good and no air bubbles etc than you Micro sol for that painted look or to get into panel lines better or over rivets better etc. Unless our bottles have different instructions? Than that how it goes.

Yeah the 3 shops i go too are a good hour away for myself as well. I stopped going to hobby lobby cause like you said its the same ole same ole nothing different. Eventually I'm gonna stop going to those shops, because half the time i travel over a hour to have no luck finding certain things. 90% of the time I'll find what I'm looking for online easily, and at a much better price.

I know i have issues sometimes painting deep rims. If you aren't careful you'll get that pebbly look from the paint bouncing all around. I think using shish kabob sticks or the like and spin the wheel around as your painting could help.
