yep good idea, unfortunately for Aussie builders, plastic spoons are not available in Australia, banned - bad for the environment. Everything plastic is being phased out here

I'll have to go change my shirt, mate, I'm drooling. 😁

Oh my, I can see a lot more builds coming up Bill. That Hudson looks a treat, as do all of them. Have to add them to my growing list. Don

Thanks David I will

Thank you Trev, nice to be inducted into the hall of Car modelers. 😁Does my name go on the wall in blood? Don

Well I got going today guys. My original idea of body prep first, went out the window when I realized I didn't have any primer. So I started with the engine, got it half done before I made a serious attempt to cut the end of my left-hand index finger. After stemming the blood flow, those scalpel tools make a nice deep cut, it was time to feed the hungry mob, we have six dogs, my wife is a collector, two Labs, two Bassets, a French Std Poodle and a Cavileer King Charles, oh I nearly forgot, three Ragdoll cats, and a partridge in a ..........................forget it, I'm in no mood to sing.🙄 Don

Thanks Alan, I'm not too bad off for tools, having been doing some MRR for my grandson, and I added a few more in the last few weeks. I bought that one you have recommended, good starting point for model car building. Thankis for the welcome and advice. Don

I haven't been back long enough to be able to make a judgement Janice Don

Don't know Moebius Tm, I'm a new boy LOL, haven't caught up yet Don

Thanks Michael. Sounds like a plan to me. As Greg said, cleaning out your airbrush to do small parts, nah I don't think so, too much work, I'll brush 'em. I have fine primer for the body. Don

Thanks, Alan for the advice and encouragement. It's a bit of a jump from MRR to model cars. My main problem is the paint side of it, so bloody confusing and can be a disaster. Well it is what it is, and if I muck it up, well I try again and again and again LOL. Here goes Don

Thanks Brian. I not too bad at working things out, and as I said in a previous post, I decided to prep my body which I think is step 6, so it can dry, and I can get on with painting other parts. Don

Found it, it's a no name brand, but I guess CA is CA and should work.

Thanks Greg, I'm trying to get as right as I can from the start, don't want to do something and get a comment, oh no what you should have done....but that's good as well, as you know what to do next time. Don

Thanks Bill. As I've been away from the hobby for so long, it's good to get some catchup info. I'm a bit of a "rodder" fan, and have the '29 Ford A to build somewhere along the line after my current '40 build. I'll see how that goes first. Don
