  1. Martin at Night Shift YouTube channel may be of some help. basically he uses Tamiya Extra Thin solvent/ adhesive mixed with Tamiya Putty and stipples it where he needs texture. sand it back if it's too aggressive.
  2. Trumpeter model kits from the military range are quite nice.
  3. one of my favorite pastimes is sketching, so i am forever making drawings & research notes.
  4. oft times this is a hard message to get across. some equate mere quantity with enjoyment. some just want to "do a poppa-wheelie."
  5. i would not hesitate to use one on the hood And one on the trunk. maybe even cut off the mounting pin, sand one side flat, and add one for each of the doors, too. if you're gonna represent, may as well make it a 360 degree experience.
  6. i didn't see your question, but the kit tires were kapoot so he used Revell motorcycle & sidecar tires. but that might not answer it either.
  7. emblems @ Jo-Han 3d (starts @ 6:00) https://youtu.be/Sc-ehkogTx0?si=2jfYKQr6i2pG2Yz6&t=360
  8. there seems to be a bigger variety now, but may have been mentioned earlier in this thread. (i don't have the energy to dig through 5 pages of disappointment - first & last were enough) starts around 4:15: https://youtu.be/Sc-ehkogTx0?si=1hzRGTlgL-EJNRKw&t=266
  9. there's a YouTube channel that only builds show related cars. of course i forgot the name found it:
  10. Todd & Buzz. amazed it took 3 pages to mention this show.
  11. it's not the fenders; it's the running boards. fenders to the body in the rear/ cycle in the front. half-channel so enough frame shows to give the body some foundation. wheels are your choice; wouldn't want you to think i'm being manipulative.
  12. maybe try one of the low rider forums? those guys are like all over the bombs & such. Model Cars | LayItLow.com Lowrider Forums
  13. up here, we just get a bottle of Kiwi, a 2" brush, and have at it!
  14. i don't know Cadillacs, but you might want to expand the search to photo-etch supplier. The Model Car Garage - The Model Car Garage Products – J&J Scale Designs
  15. Q: is there an advantage to using these three products in one mixture: #71.262, #70.524, & #70.597 ? seems they all have some of the same properties. thanks
  16. looks 100% better than stock kit frame.
  17. the rabbit hole is getting deeper:
  18. DISCLAIMER _ THIS IS NOT MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL!!!! after posting i reread it, and don't want anyone to think i'm sleazing in on this fellow's action. i am not intimidated with the work or tools involved in such an endeavor, but rather my naïveté of mechanical things in general.
