AMT Studebaker Avanti 3-1
rattle can man replied to PatW's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
It has been a long time since I built the Prestige release of it, but I think I need to agree about the seats being under-scale and the doors did sag when you opened them (I was, and still am. mostly an OTB builder). Otherwise, it was a great build. -
When to install P.E.
rattle can man replied to dragstk's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I would have to defer to the more experienced builders. But I would think after polish and before wax. I know wax and grease (and rubber/ vinyl treatment) must be removed before refinishing a real car so the paint adheres properly. I would think the same would hold true for adhesives -

They said we were supposed to get 6-9" Tues. night - Wed. We had about 3". Below zero last night and maybe tonight. freezing rain tomorrow morning and 40 degrees in the afternoon. Tomorrow night- Saturday they say maybe an 1" and back to single digit temps Sat night. Wouldn't be surprised if we get more.

Clearcoat question
rattle can man replied to Sketch1982's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've never had Krylon, Rustoleum, Testors, or Duplicolor clears cause problems with decals. Other brands of paint, yes. How old were the decals? Old decals are notorious for breaking apart. Did you print them? If so,did you use the correct decal paper for your printer (ink jet or laser) and did you seal them before applying them? Are they aftermarket? If so you need to make sure you follow their recommendations -

I would love to see this subject in a new or even re-release. -
Matchbox using smaller blister cards for their models?
rattle can man replied to peteski's topic in Diecast Corner
I have some Hot Wheels bought in England over 20 years ago in that size packaging. -
Where is Chad with R2 February news?
rattle can man replied to Chris in Berwyn's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
for me subject matter (pre-90s in subject and style) is my priority. build options is second and accuracy is third. That said, my stash is large, and another mustang, camaro, tri-five, '32 Ford. etc. won't get my attention. -

Gold mirror glass?

How about gold mylar from a ballon? -
This year's AMBR winner...
rattle can man replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Nice build. I appreciate the craftsmanship, but the 3/4 rear view just doesn't appeal to me. I can't quite put my finger on it. -

What Scared the Heck Outta You Today
rattle can man replied to Falcon Ranchero's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
the one's that sound like stuff rattling in an empty can? I can't stand the ones that sound like that. Give me a glass-pak or Thrush any day. -
Not as close as I thought it would be. Now, how do I find an Eagles championship jersey in Chiefs country (I prefer to shop local).
-
Carl, you have my sympathies. I felt that when the Eagles lost the last time. We shall meet again! perhaps next year? I thought it would be closer.

The Eagles won!!!!! The Eagles won!!!

What did you see on the road today?
rattle can man replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
those rocker panels, lower fenders and quarters on the Packard make me want to get it on a lift to check out the chassis before committing to buying it. that said the topside does look pretty solid. -
Where is it made?

My stash isn't going anywhere. In addition to over 300 kits, I have two shelves of full parts boxes. -
De-laminating windshield ideas needed
rattle can man replied to johnyrotten's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I think flat, clear paint is the best option. You could try laminating two layers and tinting the glue along the edges with some white paint or flat clear. -

congratulations John. It can be a tuff road. I've been down it myself. -
Dented Spray Can Safety?
rattle can man replied to Ferbz's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I would try it. If it hasn't leaked yet, it probably won't. As a non-engineer, I would say spraying it would reduce pressure and decrease the likelihood of failure if anything. plus releasing the compressed gas inside the can actually cool what's inside (look up auto-refrigeration effect), again reducing pressure -
Thank you Sean! I had seen the K-Mart, 7 Up, etc, but not the Sears version.
