Do you tamp down your powder? Or pour it and let it sit? I think some glues may be glossy, so they look bad through the powder

I hope so. Been asking for someone to make the LS4 and everyone thought I was crazy

You! Your models are what makes me wanna do better! I watch these videos and they just say to glue and toss on the powder, but thank you for going more in depth. I do have off brand white glue, or you think that may be an issue too?

Most times i thinned it with water, this time was straight, but both with similar results. Someone else said thin with isopropyl alcohol?

Id hate to make a new topic for this, so im sorry. So for years I've been trying to flock my interiors with embossing powder and it never seems to cover well. I would use this Mod Podge and brush it where i need it, and then shake the powder over it. Im also not sure if the glue layer has to be perfectly leveled (no brush marks) I cant seem to get it right and im not sure if im missing something in all these videos and posts.

Found this kit at a used store, Tamiya metallic blue. Fixed the headlights using the custom lights from the AMT 65 Chevelle wagon, but didn't realize the cut lines for the front pan were wrong until after paint

I think Fremont? Makes an altered wheelbase body for the Moebius kit

Very cool stuff! Can't wait to see what other 70s stuff you come up with

@Wylde I gotta put in an order soon too. A lot of good stuff

Yeah I love these things too. Some kits from the 80s came with these proportions, but with stock style bodies, and these guys would make their own bodykits and mods. They're pretty pricey now though. Some these are modified regular kits, and I saw some articles in a Japanese model magazine where they showed where the cuts were to get these proportions

Maybe it's the Sunset Strip in France😬😅

I have an unbuilt Night Prowler that came with a model lot I bought and it has always bothered me that the front and rear fender treatments on that one don't match

I think if I built a car every week, it'd take over 5 years to get through my pile. I better get to work

That's brilliant

How about a sewing kit?

On mines, yes. These always looked weird otherwise, that's why it took me a while to build it

Revell 68 Charger, box stock except the redlines from their Daytona

Shifted the front axle on this one so it'll look a little better

Just wasn't too sure on the shaded stuff. I was thinking flat black, because of the lower flag, but I saw silver at the top in a vague area too

I know you should do whatever you want with model kits, but I always thought the revell 54 highboy looked so tough so I wanted to paint it as instructed, but I found this copy of the original sheet and I don't understand it at all. Any ideas?

I figure it would be ripe for making a tow truck out of

It's rainbow flake nail polish! You're right, I built the car in B029 Barracuda style When unsure whether the bumpers are chrome or not, check 1999.jp for pics

My one gripe about these cars is that they usually seem to lack chrome bumpers (the chrome tree in other versions unplated here)

Hopefully better tires now

Hopefully this one comes back
