Great work Pat. I like the bomber style seats. Very cool car👍.

Cool looking duster. The black out and white decals work awesome with your custom body color. I like it.👍

I looked into this a while back, most leaned towards tamiya rubber black (xf-85) or vallejo tire black (71.315). Nato black is another choice that showed up repeatedly. There's a few real good threads on the topic, and a ton of tricks to make them "pop". Different shade for the tread vs sidewalls, and washes in the treads ect.

Nice work. What's the plan for lighting?

Snow overnight, I'm seriously thinking the seasons have moved 30- 45 day foward on the calendar.

Great looking Mercury. The Wheel/tire combo is perfect. 👍

Great job with the trim work. 👍

Are any of them good enough to pull a mold from? You could try casting your own, that might be an option.

Great work on those train cars, and good tip on the alcohol and createx. I just picked up a few colors, I'll be sure to stick to the directions with them to avoid issues. I like to know how to avoid the problem before causing it.

I've found it works very well with all acrylic paints I've used. It's become a bit of a "secret weapon" for me. The rust weathering on my 34 is adhered with it. Just mixed a bit thicker.

I've tweeked it myself, all a learning curve for me. The createx I'll say IS the biggest improvement. Thank you for posting that piece of knowledge.

I believe it was one of your post I found, it was almost the exact wording.

I found a diy thinner on YouTube, barbatos rex channel. Basically distilled water, isopropyl alcohol and flow aid. On a whim I added some createx 4030 intercoat clear, read that here on the forum in a post. I've had great results and it's durable. I've got the the ratio written down somewhere. As for consistency, I go by the "skim milk" rule. Dab some paint on the side of the container, it should run down and just coat, but not be opaque. Semi translucent. Hope this helps.

All around great looking vette. Call it a happy accident. That color suits the look really well.👍

I found I had to do the same with my gto, I used a metallic from deco-art. You're first pics looked looked similar, the last set show better what you described. Probably the flash or lightning. Great color either way. Gonna be a sharp looking duster. I like the down played colors on mopars, gives them a sleeper vibe.

Looking good. Especially the undercarriage. What color did you choose for the body? Looks close to what I used on my Gto.

Classy look hot rod. Very nice sir.👍👍

Made brake lines and hoses. I've got to research how the fronts are best routed.

Cool looking golf. Great work with the patina.

Two all business A bodies. Great work on both, always a fan of "as delivered" factory race mopars.

Great color choice.

They definitely look pink. I came across a video a while back, model car muse I believe, that resized and printed Woodgrain on decal paper.

Looking great. It's amazing what a bit of a wash can do for detail.

Looks awesome. The work with the power steering and armrest looks great. Nice job on the carpet as well. That's something I have yet to try.

Fantastic looking 56. Great looking woodgrain bed, and engine compartment. 👍👍
