  1. Thats one classy Chrysler. Excellent build.
  2. Thanks for a very informative video Chris and your results speak volumes for the system you are using.
  3. Thats nice work. The Fisher kits are a great way to get started with resin. They build up easily in to a sharp model that really captures the look.
  4. I can't say I have but the box art will always grab my attention.
  5. Definitely inspirational art work. I can easily go on the internet to see what the kit actually looks like.
  6. Future is always an easy way to seal things off. If you need to get serious move up to an isolator like U-pol Barcoat http://www.u-pol.co.uk/documents/datasheets/tds/BAR-TDS-EN.pdf
  7. I think that effect looks best too. Black would look monotonous in comparison.
  8. That is a nice mess Bill.
  9. That is a cool 49. I've seen it being driven around Auckland. Nice project.
  10. Classic build. Well done
  11. You've done the Tifosi proud
  12. Very nice build. Congratulations
  13. Those extraverted flares give it a Rauh Welt apperaance. Thats a nice build.
  14. This one is really coming along nicely and will be unique when finished
  15. I've encountered that on more than one occasion on different kits. That coating can be difficult to remove. I've found That Tamiyas' ' plastic friendly ' Lacquer thinner #87077 to be the most effective against it.
  16. Well done. The contrast between nicely rusted body and new wheels really sets it apart.
  17. That tire lettering really makes it pop.
  18. Thats very well done. Nothing brings a kit with plastic wire wheels to life more than substituting them with p/e or hand laced wires.
  19. Thats a nice build of a kit I found to be a bit fiddly.
  20. That does look the part Brett and having fun while building should always be the most important aspect.
  21. Caveat Emptor
  22. That one really looks sharp
  23. I just looked up his Facebook page and he is talking of releasing new kits and returning his line of small parts late 2013/ early 2014.
  24. I just saw that they had bought that P/E set to market. It should build up in to a nice model. Hobby Design are still marketing a lot of new product but I can't find their web site any more and their Facebook page hasn't been updated in 6 months.
  25. Sounds like your doing a thorough paint prep there Brett. I'm wondering though if the Waikato water may be leaving a residue ? I do all the steps your doing but after I've washed the body and let it dry I always give it a wipe over with a rag and Fuelite. I do this even between coats if I have sanded or handled the body in any way. Fuelite is just a fast drying no residue degreaser widely available locally at the likes of mitre10. The likes of Repco/ Supercheap Auto could sell you a prep wash, wax & grease remover that would do the same thing but cost a lot more.
