MCM Ohana (6/6)

  1. I have no idea. How long did you wait to apply primer/paint over Mr. Surfacer? I am in no way a professional painter. When I was looking to start airbrushing, I asked my painter buddy about different paints. He told me to pick one "system" and learn it: acrylic, enamel or lacquer. He advised against mixing different manufacturer's products for compatibility reasons. I chose Createx after some research due to their technical data sheet availability. Plus, they have a rather large array of colors. Easy to use and easy to clean up. The next piece of advice he gave me was PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE AND PRACTICE MORE!
  2. Have you looked at the "different" paints in the sun? Sometimes our minds play trix on us.
  3. Dang. I'd like to add one of those to the stash. That's a real good deal.
  4. I really like the trim. The truck is seriously Kool.
  5. Thank You for sharing your talent with us.
  6. Johnny does some killer artwork!
  7. I restored the wiper motor on that car for Dave. Want me to do one for your car so it's like the real thing? 😁
  8. This is looking WONDERFUL! I use E 6000 to do some final assemblies with. It's thick, so it holds stuff pretty quick and you have a little time to position. It works on paint as well.
  9. I use the same color paint as the flocking to help hide bald spots. I also do one section at a time.
  10. This trim looks best to me. Maybe start at the headlight and run to the bumper like this one. Although it does provide a great segmenting for a, ahem, dual tone paint scheme, I won't mention it. 😃
  11. Only on the 6th Sunday of the month.
  12. The tail lights look fantastic! I'm not much on chopping the tri-fives. It's not my taste. It's also not my build.
  13. Yeah, life happens. I have north of 50 kits started(to varying degrees). I don't get into the "room" daily due to being self employed, so, I think that plays into it. Along with the squirrels. OOOOO! LOOK! I can build a (whatever)! I need help 🤷🏼‍♂️
