Ohhhh, great tip! Thank you! I'll try that out!

So, I'm moving in a couple of weeks. Currently I'll shoot primer on my projects in my yard and then the color coats I can do indoors easily enough as I primarily use Auto Air or Wicked Color acrylics and clears. The place I'm moving to doesn't have a yard, roof access or anywhere much to rattle can primer onto a project short of standing in the street outside (in downtown New York - not ideal). I'll be moving in with my fiancee and it's not a particularly big place so whilst I can get away with airbrushing a little Tamiya acrylic or similar on a project here and there I think she'll object pretty quickly to getting ill from rattle can fumes (and rightfully so). We don't have room for a spray booth or anything, and I think I already know the answer to this...but are there any model primers that anyone knows of that are safe to spray (can or airbrush) inside without any specialist ventilation?

x2 on the Unreal Roller!

You could run it on FDR - but good luck getting up to 30 there

That 3d printed bike is OUTSTANDING! Incredible!

Looks like there's too much paint going on too soon, in case you're looking for tips

Who said it wasn't?

Are they at least in scale?

Happens on my Macbook using Firefox, and on my iPad using Firefox or Safari

I do, yep!

Got my RR! It's signed too!

Meanwhile, reissued Rommel's Rod kits are back in stock (in Tom Daniel's store anyway...) tomdaniel.com/td_store/signed_model_kits/signed_kits_pages/td_mk.031_rommels_rod_18.html Just ordered mine! Exciting!

Someone on the Coffin Corner posted this today: "Just got this off FB today ???? GOOD AFTERNOON everyone ! Some cool news to pass on , straight from the man himself ( Mr. Tom Daniels ! ) The new Revell Germany merger will have a separate line called :Revell USA LLC. They will be releasing in the first 1/4 of 2019 the TDs classic's " Baja Bandito " and " Rommel's Rod " Also east coast model co. ATLANTIS , who recently purchased some old toolings from the Monogram plant in Illinois , will be releasing many old TD monogram kits ( many rare ones we have not seen for sometime ) Starting with the "Ghost of the Red Baron" and the "Lil Red Baron" snap-tite ! This is all good news for the hobby we love !" http://coffincorner.proboards.com/thread/20493/atlantis-model-revell-tooling-stored?page=1&scrollTo=190551

Urgh, that's why Grandma keeps sending me those terrible kits ?

I posted a link up to this thread on the site anyway so everyone can see - its SO cool man, nice job! That thing with the passwords suddenly not working is a known Proboards issue - a bunch of members on there have got locked out before and had to make new accounts

Those guys are good at what they do huh? You TOTALLY did this justice! I saw the pics on the Coffin Corner, but then when I went back to comment they'd gone...I think they got moved and I can't find them or you deleted them maybe? Anyway, GREAT build dude, absolutely amazing!! Love the paint, and you've really captured the look and all the detail of the 1:1!

I've been wanting to build a full-detail Mk1 Miata (or a Miata NA, as Mazda called them) so I picked up a Revell kit a little while back and started messing with it this week. The detail is pretty good - not as crisp as the Tamiya model of the same car, but this has an engine so it's the only game in town... This isn't going to be a quick build - I'm spending a lot of time researching and referencing to get it as nice as I can make it. I have a Mk2 Miata for reference, luckily, but there's some differences between the cars so I picked up some literature to help. First up, I shot some primer on the body to get an idea of how much work is gonna be involved in getting that as perfect as I can get it: You can probably spot some of the minor stuff this will need to get the body straight, but the main thing that bugged me right away is the fit on that hood: The panel gaps aren't even all the way around, and the front edge of the hood sits low compared to the pop up lights, as you can see. It should be nice and level, like this: Rather than just using filler to bring the hood up and level at the front there I decided to use a little thin styrene strip, which I'll attach here, where the knife blade is: Like so! A little preliminary fitting shows that the front of the hood is now at the right level...but some sanding reveals that it droops a little at the front edges: I added a thin coat of Squadron white putty, let it set and then levelled it out...I think that MIGHT have got things a lot closer - I guess I'll see tomorrow once I squirt some primer on there: Meanwhile, I got the engine halves together so I can what I'm gonna be working with here: I need to strip the chrome from the head, and clean up those molded in plug wires so I can run real my own: Got some great reference material to work from here luckily! I'm really gonna push myself on this build, see how good I can make it - so any pointers and constructive criticism from our wealth of super experienced builders very welcome! More soon!

Huh! Cool! I'll need to keep my eye out for one of these!

Just ordered some too! Thanks dude!

Huh! That's cool Mark! Where did you get yours?

What are the rear tires from BTW Pat?

Oh wow! Nice start!

I always assumed if the yellow car was the Badman the lavendar one was the Badgirl

I think the phrase you're thinking of is "Pobody's Nerfect" ?‍♂?

Yes!!! I'm never in a rush to finish a build...once I've finished it I can't build it anymore, so...
