Question, in case I mess up .... lol
Scalefinishes replied to dwc43's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Try it on a plastic spoon. -
Scalefinishes paint does not need to be reduced. It is ready spray right out of the bottle.

That turned out nice. The '66 Hertz is a great kit, and a good looking car.

Am I missing something here?
Scalefinishes replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Harry, I agree 150%, but you are not the one missing something, it's the model companies that are missing it. I've done a few class sponsorships at some of the bigger "local" shows, and the exposure can't be beat. All totaled my investment is a bit under $200, but most of my regular customers are coming from those model shows. Definitely a small investment for big gains. Obviously the big model makers don't need to let people know that they make models, but it never hurts to put out your hand to your customers, and say "Hi". IMHO, Jameston -
Ice Road Truckers
Scalefinishes replied to highway's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
Gentlemen, I found what you are looking for. http://www.roadtransport.com/blogs/road-freight-crime/ice%20blog%202.JPG If you search Google images of "ice road truckers" you will find all sorts of pics. Hope this helps, Jameston (Yes, I am trying to get a match for Carlile blue) -
making 1/25 scale spark plug wires
Scalefinishes replied to rdgracer71's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
M.A.D wired distributors are the best you can buy. Hands down, one of the finest details you can buy for your models. The caps look spot on, the base is cleanly cast and easy to mount, the wires are long enough to mount easily, and there is enough "plug boot material" in the set to detail both ends of the wires no problem. Add all that with good shipping speed and cost, along with stellar customer service, and you get parts that cannot be beat. Jameston -
That is the best looking '69 GT500 I've ever seen. I'm not a big fan of that year, but I like that one. Well done. Jameston

I knew I had it somewhere! The Mclaren orange is the same color as Renault Chipper orange, OEM paint code 318. I hope that helps, Jameston -

Scalefinishes replied to Modellpularn's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Unless you are looking for a specific car that was painted in sponsor colors, most M8Bs would be Mclaren orange. Jameston -

1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme convertible

April fools day is the mother of all non-holidays. It's worse than Halloween. -

Does the roll cage look too big?
Scalefinishes replied to oldman23's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think that rollcage looks great. Jameston -
I finished this yesterday while watching a video for school. It's the Revell kit, and went together easily, but the stripe decals were a bit of a pain. Built pretty much OOB except for the wheels. They are Foose Nitrous IIs from StradaSports.com. 19" in front and 22" out back. Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki I did some light weathering underhood and on the chassis.

Dual quad intake.
Scalefinishes replied to Scalefinishes's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I got it! The '69 Nova intake is perfect in fit, and look for what I'm after. Thank you, everyone who helped out on this. When I start the '57 I'll post it in the WIP section. Thanks again, Jameston -
This comes from the September 2009 Hot Rod magazine article "New ideas for old Chevys". Steve Stanford drew a beautiful '80s El Camino with the new Camaro frond end, and being a big fan of both body styles, I had to build one. Hosted on Fotki Starting with the AMT Street custom reissue El Camino I chopped off the nose, and grafted the front fascia from a Revell Concept Camaro kit I got from Chris Batson, who I owe a huge thank you for helping me out. Hosted on Fotki I decided the stock El Camino interior wasn't going to cut it, so I chopped the rear wall off and grafted it to the front half of the Camaro interior. Hosted on Fotki Thanks for looking Jameston
