  1. I would be very interested to witness you're CAD process. I've been a Drater by trade for 30+ years. First paper and pencil (sharp), now moving into the 3D REVIT world is exciting and terrifying all at once. Unbelievable and beautiful art you're creating.
  2. Thanks, I tend to be my own worst enemy.
  3. Next time I will plan installation out before I glue on headers.
  4. Seat belts came out ok for a first timer.
  5. I first started with BMF which I've had success with in the past. But my foil was really old and would not stick and my knife would not cut an even line. I managed to get some on and then went over it with a chrome pen. It actually looked passable to me. I gave it a light coat of Future and said goodnight. The windshield and wing windows is one piece. It did not fit snug in the frame at all. So, of course, while trying to hold it firmly in place I managed to get glue all over the part. Also major blemishes on the frame. BooHoo.
  6. Whatever you do...don't mess up on the clear parts.
  7. Stipped the gas cap and used a chrome pen. I wish the kit had horse decals for the gas cap and glove box. Ooh, scratch built/bent battery brace.
  8. Can Alclad chrome be brushed on?
  9. Beautiful work. I love the realism of the engine bay and undercarriage. I would be very interested to know about your processes, ie. ash tray, inside door handles and locks, steering wheel. And which came first, the windshield or the BMF?
  10. Just about the same time you were typing your compliment I was *&%^&ing it up. I taped off the the top while painting the bay and got very sloppy. Not to mention tape residue. HELP!
  11. And for all the detail sticklers...buckle on the inside or on the door side?
  12. Another query. Install windshield before or after BMF on the frame? And how do you handle the inside of the window frame?
  13. Thanks. I am no where near able to light my builds Maybe someday.
  14. What about 5 min. epoxy in place of resin?
  15. I've never used UV resin. What does that entail? One would need a UV light I presume.
  16. Still deciding on whether to strip the chrome plating. The kit came with no clear lenses for the tail lights. Any suggestions on detailing these?
  17. Can the Alcad be brushed on? Alclad II 4107 Chrome for Plastics 4oz
  18. That's better. Looks like a bad haircut.
  19. Excellent detail.
