I'm always worried about burying details under primer/paint. As for sanding, if the paint isn't cured,it could end up causing you grief. I always prime for a few reasons, one to fill any fine scratches/blemishes, like a liquid body filler, and two adhesion. There is only the body line on that hood, maybe another LIGHT coat will flow out and cover. I wouldn't spray the whole car. Hopefully this helps man.👍👍.

34 Ford Pickup

Lots of options for that truck, and the kit has 2 different engines and some other goodies. I went a bit crazy with mine, the kit has a ton of potential. -

Looking forward to seeing the progress on this, I enjoyed building mine. 👍👍 -
Are those sanding scratches from under the paint. In the plastic or primer?

Decided to strip the tub and dash. While they're soaking I took care of the glass, it was not good at all. Not sure if tire melt effects kits in the 90's era, but this thing had divots and scratches and was a sealed kit,though handled poorly. Sanded from 1500-6000,plastic x and finished with novus. The rear and side windows need plastic x and novus in the picture.

Looking good, great color choices. Especially the interior

Great looking charger.

I was already graduated high school, that whole era musically was great. In many different genres. 👍👍

Looking fantastic, Zippi. I agree about the 3d printer. If l only had the space for one.

Absolutely stunning Pontiac. Beautifully done.
-
More fantastic work. Both are awesome, but that red is just beautiful. 👍👍

Nice charger, like the decal with that color,it completes the look. Hearing greenday playing surprised me. I liked their first album. I'm a bit of a fan of punk.

Started to detail the interior, I may strip the tub and dash and start over. I decided to try bmf under paint in order to keep the detail on the steering wheel, and I'm blown away. My chrome trim experiment with the seats worked out,they look good. Here's a mockup

He has an a youtube channel, Steve Magnante junkyard crawl. He does small,in-depth history on many vehicles and even parts,and some model related things. I've actually been to the yard where he films the channel, and have met him in person. Very nice,but private kinda guy. Shook his hand,complimented his channel and kept it moving. He cruises the larger swap meets at my hometown dragstrip,lebanon valley dragway.

Self control and patience are your greatest asset. -
Classy, classic looking hot rod. Leaving the caps off gives it an old school home built look. I like it.👍👍

AMT 51 Chevy Bel Air - build start and a question
johnyrotten replied to eran_k's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Very nice work. Bmf goes a long way to making a model stand out,imo. I'd like to try it "under the paint" sometime. Not quite there yet. -
Not familiar with the brand, I'm on my feet all day as well. I learned very early in my career that quality boots or shoes are absolutely needed, and a proper, well fitting insole I've found goes a long way.
