I agree. I am a stickler about detail etc on my models. The 911 I built is cool 1/8 scale and huge but there is still something weird about it that just doesn't look just right.

You know I build some Legos from time to time including this Porsche 911 last year. It is funny how popular Legos have become with adults and kids. My grandsons got me started building Legos but I cannot get them to build models cars. Though they are mostly all car fans. I do get the same craziness remarks with Lego builds also.

Looks great and love your work. Wish I had your talent.

So I went to Dollar General and picked up a bottle of this for $1.00! Amazon btw wanted $7.00 so what a deal! Anyhow I am going to soak my Porsche body in a bag with it and let it soak for like 24 hours ? Is that how I should be doing it? Thanks everyone ! I have built models for 50+ years and have never stripped paint off. I have done the Easy Off on chrome quite a few times but never paint.

Thanks

Interesting.

I started another post on the article and I read the article but I had the paper not the digital version, I was saying that I was telling my wife about the article Saturday and she didn't think it was funny, I wonder why. Lol.

Sorry this discussion is started already with a link. Thanks

Did anyone read the article in the Wall Street Journal Saturday that was titled The $5000 Car That Fits in the Palm of your Hand? Anyhow it was a front page story in the Saturday's paper that talked about us obsessive adults who spend a great deal of time building models. It was mostly a reference to the model car hobby and it was quite good. I would like to link it but the WSJ is one of the papers that I believe the newer articles you have to have a subscription to read the entire article. Anyhow if you get a chance maybe try to grab it somewhere. I was telling my wife about the article and she didn't find any humor in it. I wonder why? LOL!

Thanks

This removes enamel or lacquer?

How many times could I make that same statement! Looking good btw.

Wow they look like real cars. Beautiful

Thanks everyone. Going to hit it this weekend.

How many days with the EZ Off in a bag? Thanks again

Thanks btw!

So I have read also about Simple Green which I also have at home but have again never used it for anything but cleaning cement. Weird that I wouldn't think it would work at removing paint.

So just bought an Italeri Porsche 993 that was started with the body painted yellow. I cannot tell if enamel or lacquer. I would assume enamel if I was guessing. So with it being painted yellow and I am changing the color to Aventurine green (dark) what luck would I have in priming the body over the yellow and not stripping the paint? The majority of the car has not been painted. Just wondering your thoughts and what is the best things to use if I strip the paint. I am guessing from the posts that EZ -off yellow can is the best ? I have never stripped paint but have used EZ Off for stripping chrome. I am going to post a picture of the body.

Very nice and I have an unbuilt kit of that somewhere. Great photo shooting also.

Great builds

Very nice.

Nice!

That is a fascinating mixed bag of builds. All great!

Wow. If that 911 is the Fujimi kit it would take me all year just to finish it! Great job.

I am excited to watch this build.
