I have used Simple Green as a cleaner for resin parts and bodies for a number of years with no problems. I also soke white metal and PE in to get rid of any casting residue.

Sand, Prime, Paint.

It depends on my mood at the time. Jazz, R&B, 70's Prog Rock, 50's & 60's Rock & Roll. But I've been getting back into the music of FM. Phasors on Stun, Black Noise. And Nash the Slash. Good old Canadian Prog Rock.

Sad news. I'm a big fan of his work.

You can also try to heat the tire up with a hair drier on the high setting.

I use a 16X20 furnace filter in my spray booth. Just messure the space where the filter should go on your booth so you know the size you need. And yes you need a filter for your booth.

This list is very helpful. Thanks for posting it.

Depending on the scale your working in, Scale Motorsports, Tamiya and Eduard have some very nice belt sets. You can also add medical tape to the list of material you can use for belts.

I can beat that. Almost 2 years for an order from the same company. Our Harry had to get involved to get my order from him. Also I'm still waiting for an order from Arrowhead Aluiminum thats been dragging on for over 3 years.

Well if they are, they still owe me an order from 3 years ago.

This car ( and I'm using that word loosely ) needs a 5 gallon can of gas and a match to put it out of it's misery.

You can try a model RailRoad site for this mesh. I used to see this stuff at George's Trains in Toronto when my dad was still around and into model RailRoads.

Sounds like good news for modelers the world over. I hope that they will bring back their F1 and Sports Cars from the 60's and 70's.

I've ordered PE from Detail Master and other suppliers before and I've never had shipping costs that high. Were you asking for next day delivery or something ? Unless your local hobby shop carries them, your going to have to buy them from the states. Two of my LHS do carry PE parts but only the bare minimum. If I want something specail I have to pay a bit more because of the cost of shipping. Sorry, but we'er a captive audience when it comes to shipping costs.

They can be found on Slixx contingicy sheets.

Okay, but did you shoot a base coat of Gloss Clear on the tires before you applied the decals. If you didn't then the decals would have a hard time settling down on the side wall. This might be why they are silvering. Decals won't adhere to a matted surface.

The only thing that I can come up with was the clear coat that was sprayed on the tires wasn't fully cured.

Who or what is this Motor Sports that you speak of ?

I won't take credit for this. For those who want to to do " Up swinging " doors like on a Lamborghini I found these photos of a hinge made from a one use dental floss handle. I can't remember the name of the author or the website. I'm going to use this idea on a few Group C models.

I like these three. LedZep McLaren M8d, Marlboro McLaren MP4/2 in the 1 off " Yellow " and the Player's LTD F3000 Lola.

How much are you looking for and what thickness.

Go to your local NAPA store that has a automotive paint dispencer and get them to do you up a spray can of Ford Highland Green. Should cost you about 10 or 15 bucks.

White Metal Alloy is made up of the following metals. Tin , Lead. Bismuth, Zinc and or Cadmium. HFM use the top grade of White Metal so you wouldn't get the " Zinc " rot that you will see in Die-Cast mass produced cars.

Blade Runner.
