Cool build! Can't wait to see what you do with this, uh, poorly molded kit. Those tires looked really bad, nice job!

This is such a cool build. I love roadkill and all those other shows, I'm just sad they canceled them all. 😔

I know you were 😁.

Thank you very much. I don't do graffiti because if you look at most of the railroads shown were defunct roughly around 1980 (besides the Burlington Northern). I model the 1970s, graffiti wasn't really popular like it is now.

Well its better than me, and done faster than me so...

I weather model train cars and something I've found for a smooth even consistency is using 99% isopropyl alcohol. You want to mix it till it's the consistency of whole milk. Aply in thin coats to get your finish super smooth. I used to use water and it would just bubble up. I also suggest you don't use the alcohol with Createx paints, even though there acrylics they turn into a slop. Pictures of my weathered freight cars using craft paints from Hobby Hobby. Elliot

Ah yet again Bob showing us all up 😁. Good job I love the paint, the maroon just pops.

I don't like it. 😐

Mmm... never mind, I'm keeping it. Not worth the work, probably do clear some time today.

I was just thinking about it and think that it's will just put a darker shade of red on top of it. It's not worth striping.

I guess your right, no use going through the trouble. I just wasn't expecting this color. Thank you.

Well I got my 67 corvette repainted and picked up some more testors metallic red, or at least I thought i did. I ended up buying metallic red/rouge and with the tinny faunt on the bottles I didn't see the rouge. My corvette is pink!! I wanted red! I might Layer some actuall metallic flake red on top to make it look better. Elliot.

I love watching Barbartos Rex, I had no idea there were so many different model paints! How do you like his paint? The color is beautiful!

PM on its way.

Thank you very much. I ran out of dcc decoders so I still need to put one of those in. Sadly I will probably have to remove the athearn "Super Power" weight sence it takes up too much real-estate.

Nice score, these from what I have heard are some of the best proportioned bare bones f units. They are definitely a good starting point for super detailing. I made an attempt to update the aperence of a athearn blue box f7 by filling in the windows. These blue boxes will never be as demesionaly accurate as the stewart/ kato f's but it's good enough. (I model 70s BN hence the paint scheme) Elliot

This is a really cool car, I kinda like this look better than the stock formation. The open mouth type grill looks silly to me and I like the Chevy hood graft a LOT.

I've had luck with wd40 on plastic containers. I think it might work with this. Wd40 will get that sticky residue off to.

I've had that with my Springers, they seam to rub off on each other. My Mom's first dog was a Cocker Spanial and she says that that dog and her our family's first dog had the same bark, they both even sang the same jingle in their bark when they wanted attention.

Yeah I was really happy with it. I was using rustoleum enamel clear which I've had really good luck with over their other paints. I thought sence it's a enamel it would work... and it did on my test spoon. I think I just got impatient and sprayed it on to thick. I will probably decant and try again. No it was actually a enamel paint over enamel. Just a little too heavy and hot for the testors.

Went to put some clear on my model painted with testors enamel metallic red and almost emedietly lifted . Now I have to go back to the hobby shop for the 3rd time after 2 painting misshaps. Hopefully 3rd times the charm though.

My first time airbrushing a model, used testors metallic red 50/50 lacquer thinner. I am amazed at the result and don't think I will ever use hardware store paint on a body AGAIN! Pretty satisfied with the result especially for the price. Thanks for looking! Elliot.

I absolutely love these cars, especially the 67-68 coupes. The Trans-Am series cars always have a place in my heart.

Dude, what is it with tweeser and small parts shooting into oblivion. It's even worse for me sence the room where I work on my stuff is carpet. I think the small ones from the impala look good. Just my two cents.

Holy Cow! That's amazing!
