  1. The other night i was making breakfast for dinner. Making some peppery bacon gravy. Emptied the pepper can. I thought to myself i hate to throw away a good metal tin. Then it came to me. Used blade container. It has a small n large opening.
  2. Cool looking. That pink n black nails the 50s.
  3. Lol. Funny how that works.
  4. Cool build and great work.
  5. Welcome.
  6. Cool build. Way back in middle school the music teacher had a red valiant convertible.
  7. Looks darn good. Like that blue.
  8. Nice. Looks like a short throw shifter in there. Planning on racing?
  9. That is cool. Looks really good.
  10. In germany the long citroen was called the cigar car.
  11. Thanks Carl. Sometimes all goes well.
  12. That will be cool. A funny cigar car.
  13. It was duplicolor gray primer then sanded with 2000 wet dry paper. Then duplicolor black. Started with a tacky coat then a few light coats then a good solid coat. Then wet sanded with s few drops of dawn with 2000 wet dry. A few days to dry then one good solid coat. Then used those sanding pads and dawn to wet sand. And our water is so hard i will not wash my 1:1 cars with it because it will etch water spots in the glass. So i used paper towels to dry the kit of and i will use the damp peper towel to buff the kit body. Then i have to decide if i going to clear coat it or not, usually not. Then i just use meguuiar's gold paste wax and sometimes the liquid and some times both. Then pray that i do not rub through. I sometimes use turtle wax rubbing compound but you have to be easy with that it cuts good but you can get rub through fast.
  14. Good luck. Sounds like a good plan
  15. Thanks. Reflection is of trees over head.
  16. Thanks. A lot of waxing. Thinking a red interior.
  17. Change # 3076. Was going to do it in white. But since i bought a 2nd kit going in black. Imagine it as moms weekly grocery getter. Then dad says he needs to run to the hardware store on the weekend. But just painted n buffed it out and another future build maybe for winter. Weather is nice n hot so getting some bodies done.
  18. Well i know have that kit. Took the wife to hobby lobby. Told her they have fall stuff out. We get in the door she goes left and i go to the back. Of course it takes me forever to look at the kits. I have almost everyone they have on the shelves. I had this one in my hand looking at the bandai kits. She walks up and says go ahead n get it you know you want it. Told her to pick a color. She picks testors lacquer in firey orange. Told her good choice. Gotta love a woman who supports me in my hobbies.
  19. Great job. I have this kit from the 1st issue way way back when. Was my wifes uncles.
  20. Cool build and dio. We live in farm country so we have them around. Keep thinking i am going to build a tractor. Really would like a foord 8n jubilee kit. And any older john deere.
  21. Nice build. I have built a few of them. Nice kits. But i can never remember which ones i have built.
  22. Thanks. They are detailed and usually easy to put together.
  23. i am really liking these little kits. Picked up 3 in the last 2 days. The AT-M6 , X-WING STARFIGHTER, and Blockade runner. Usually needs no painting but i have to add a bit. This has no decals but when they do have some they are amazing.
