Wow, that’s a lotta wheels! Do you have them manufacturered, or you just bought a lot?

Maybe this is why they're reduced by so much at Michael's - I'd best go grab some more!

Great tips, thanks everyone! Love that Mystery Machine by the way, Michael!

Stunning builds, thanks for sharing! Looks like you got a real nice shine with it! and no troubles shooting it over decals, huh?

Ugh REALLLLLY??? I just tried them for the first time and REALLY like them ?

This is going to be GREAT - I’ll be watching! I’ll be interested to see the vacuum-forming especially, when we get that far along ??

Has anyone seen these before? There’s a whole range of them - under $10, shipped to the IS and the detail looks really good! https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F153573828776

Very cool, I love it! Reminds me of pajamas, a little, with the stripes! You did a really nice job with that!

Ohh sorry - the lacquer. Maybe the enamel too, but I didn't buy any of that so I'm not sure...

This thread is really inspiring, you do gorgeous work!

Is there a build thread for this one Tom? WAY cool!

I neve realised the frame in these kits was so cool! That's got a lot of potential!

Just an FYI for anyone who uses this stuff, their Testors rattle cans were working out to be $2.30 a can including tax today when I went to get some paint...admittedly this is including the use of their 40% off voucher (which you can look up on their website and show the cashier), but it's a great deal! Cheaper than the $7-nearly on their website for most of them, or the $8-10 a can a lot of places online Just thought this would be a useful heads-up for anyone with a Michaels near by...they also have a number of the large cans of Krylon reduced to $3.50 - in mostly useful colors too (eg: not just terrible colors that nobody would use)

If you picked it up at a store, and didn't start it, might be easiest to take it back there and let them return it to their distributor for a credit and give you a new one...

That is AWESOME! Is this a replica of a pattern found in a real car, or something you came up with yourself?

I’d like to see more too! All of them, ideally!

Those look GREAT, Ace! Do you find that this stuff lays down a little thicker, and dries a little harder, than, say, TS13? Just doing some homework before I try it out for myself...

That paint is STUNNING Marcos! Would you be able to share a little about your painting technique? I just picked up a can of the Wet Look Clear to try, so your build is really inspiring! I’d love to see more of other people’s results from using this clear too - plus any tips for using it!

I really love the scratchbuilding and modifications you’re doing! Looks GREAT!

A few more from the last couple of weeks around Bensonhurst Brooklyn... Spot the cop lights on the dash, and around the licence plate... Franken-Chevy Better Chevy

Ohh, I’m really excited to see the paint go down on this thing! Too cool!

This is an absolutely stunning build - I’d be proud to have built this one...and now I wanna build one like it! ??

This pic is GREAT! Thanks for posting Mark! What a great reference pic! Advice on the distributor much appreciated (I'm learning a lot about these old Model As, but I definitely need pointers like this), so I scratched up a replacement for the kit part - still need to spend a few minutes making a coil but is roughly how it'll look: I also replaced the starter with an aluminum part from my parts box (I think it's actually meant to be an oil filter but it looks better than the molded in part anyway... Next job was to fix this bent linkage on the rear axle (the top one of the two), so I did it how I'd do it if I was doing this for real in 1950 or so, and replaced it with some tube...easy for a backyard kinda mechanic to do and probably a little stronger as well: Whilst I was working on the rear axle, the mounting slots for the leaf spring aren't a good fit AT ALL, so I drilled them out and inserted some styrene-tube receivers so that I can insert pins in the leaf spring and have it all slide together nicely for final assembly: Oh, and finally whilst I was cleaning up the edges of that scratchbuilt dash I thought it would be cool to have a working needle in the speedometer More soon, soon as I've done more!

They’re loading ok for me...anyone else not seeing them?

I got it tonight, and split the exact same post into two parts and it worked ?‍♂️?
