STU111

That’s one tough looking Ford. You say you built the model how you would build a 1:1 version, well, that’s one Galaxie I’d like in my driveway. Top stuff. 👍🏻

Hey Racine, that’s another nice restoration build from a down and out model. Top stuff. 👍🏻

G’day Racine, certainly gave that T-Bird a breath of fresh air. Nice resto. 👍🏻

Nice work. Really does capture the look of a barn find waiting to be restored. I do like a patina finish. 👍🏻

Here is my Oldsmobile 442 painted Tamiya TS-8 and polished out with Tamiya compounds as Cool Hand suggests.

Yep, true. I once had a hissy fit and hulk smashed a model that had gone wrong. Felt good for about 10 seconds, then I felt like a complete goose as I’d wasted my time and money and, more importantly, I may have been able to rectify the problem if I’d just put it aside and revisited it the next day.

Hey Don, it’s the interior of my latest build, a ‘62 Impala. It’s one of the more modern tooled kits with a multi piece interior. Good luck with the Mercury repair.

Hold the tub further away from the can as you spray, may take a couple of passes to get a good coverage.This wasn’t a tub style interior admittedly, but I sprayed it all with Tamiya TS-49 red.

Hit send before I finished what I was saying! 😄 with a tub style interior, I lightly spray the floor then hold the can at an angle and spray the door trim lightly on both sides and keep lightly spraying the floor and door trim until I’m happy with the results.

G’day Don, I just spray my interiors. Either with the airbrush or a Tamiya rattle can. I really only brush paint small parts these days. 👍🏻

G’day Don. Probably around 0.5 mm, probably even thinner. Don’t want it too thick as it’s not going to bend easily. Have a look at the packs in the shop, see what you think. It’s handy to have some in your modelling kit. The sheets are fairly large so you can have a few goes at it until you get the shape you’re wanting. The footwells and firewall are easy as they’re flat.

Beautifully done sedan delivery, and a very nice tribute to puppy. 👍🏻

That is a beautifully built yenko Camaro. Top stuff.

Beautiful little Escort! They were potent little beasts with the twin cam engine. Thanks for sharing. 👍🏻

G’day Don, it’s what’s known as a “short shot”. Not enough liquified plastic goes through the mold, leaving gaps. As John says it can be repaired with styrene sheet, Evergreen is a well known brand and is available in hobby shops, bends easy in hot water, ( l made some wheel tubs for another build with it ). If you’re not up for that, put it out on the forum to see if anyone has a spare tub. Good luck with it. 👍🏻
