rattle can man

I came up with 47mm for the AMT and 54mm for the Revell. I'm not sure what trim you are talking about, so I measured in front of the hinges.

Is the Gangbusters 1927 Lincoln roadster really 1:25 scale? It seems out of scale when compared to a deuce. Is it because they just tooled it to fit on the same chasis as the '28 Sport Phaeton? I would expect it to be larger than a Ford, but it seems to be a different scale.

Where do you get your Leveling 400? I know it is not available locally. And the Big Name website I looked at only had large bottles.

All 3 are plagued with those pinholes. From the photos in your build, you have the look. This is quite similar in style. Have you thought about using rolled pans from 49 Merc. 50 Fords, etc as a starting point?

I found them. I have three Hoppin Hydros custom visors. I believe they are actually for a 39ish vehicle, maybe Chevy. They are resin and will need work to smooth them. I tacked one to an olds. If you would like one, PM me with your address.

haven't gotten to it yet. Yesterday's battle to keep my basement dry aggravated my health issues.

much needed rain all day. Had to bail the sump for a bit. turns out the outlet was blocked. when i went out to clear it my GF told me not to (a cold and still in a sling post surgery. So she does love me. But if it wasn't cleared, my stash could be flood damaged!

motorcycle models? model train detail parts?

I spray a few projects in spring and fall when It's not too hot or too cold. then hide in the AC/ heat and build the rest of the year

Let me dig through my stash this weekend. I may have some old Hoppin' Hydros visors for a 50ish Chevy. And I have an Olds kit to check them against.

I tried Bona floor polish as a clear coat. Brushed over Krylon sprayed 2-3 months ago and decals from two days ago. No reaction after a day. Long term, we will see what happens. It has a decent shine (good enough to represent a fifties daily driver, home built hot rod), maybe polishing or waxing would help.

I would guess the chrome part migh be a supercharger and associated parts? The white parts look like a modern v-8 intake with a cone filter.

And why do efforts to "improve" (colorize and/or digitally remaster) old movies look so bad?

I never had a problem with it not drying. but I did have a can that let the orange from the plastic bleed through no matter how many coats applied. if t is sealer, I would think it shouldn't bleed through.

Rain!! finally. First time with more than .01" since Aug.

I can respect his work, but I'm just not a fan of his style.

try your local library, some have printers and staff to help you.

aeound a dozen red-wing blackbirds.

Fed Ex is just as bad. a package shipped Friday, according to the shipper. FED-Ex said they would have a delivery date once it was received. that was their claim through Monday Morning. Monday Afternoon it was out for delivery. Tuesday morning status was unavailable. last night it was delivery scheduled for today. It was delivered today. Since they scan barcodes with every movement, how could they not have good tracking?

gangbusters 27 roadster. appears complete, but quite a few parts off the spues.

I built one long ago. Maybe early '90s. I remember that version was a little fiddly, but not bad. It didn't have much flash. Of course it was a 1989 Prestige version.

you might be able to prolong its useful life once opened by putting it in a pill bottle with a desiccant pack (one of those little packets of silicone that says "do not eat") that seem to be packed with so many products.

I'm positive some other kit had them. I put some ribbed bumpers on '32 before I had ever bought a Revell Merc or '40 pick-up. They were straight. not curved.

Those look delicious Bob. I didn't plan on having any really hot ones this year, but somehow I had a Carolina Reaper come up. I dehydrate mine. I grew sweet cayenne, and Sweet Heat Peach as my hot peppers this year. My GF/Partner gets blisters form just saying jalapeno, so I am limited on cooking with them.

Glue styrene strip of appropriate thickness to the door or opening and sand to shape and fit. if you are careful, you can leave just enough of a gap to represent panel lines. Or you can just fill everything and then re-scribe the panel lines. And of course, reinforce joints by backing with more styrene.
