posting your work areas
paulcolt replied to sparkyd31's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think for the masses here,that if you have MORE than 8 square inches of working space,you're WAY to Organized!!!! LOL -
What i would do is cut the fender wells out on the transition into the fender top where the hood sits and start there. Being a gasser i would put the battery in the trunk (weight transfer you know! LOL) and then you would just have to make a brace for the rad.If you have any scrap plastic (ya right!) you can make a small shelf that rests on the frame rails. Hope this helps!

i just hope my gu doesn't scare yours away! LOL

Building an exhaust system from solder
paulcolt replied to Mr. Can Am Garage's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
a good thing to use for the hangers/brackets is the frames from an old photo-etch set and some small dia wire. -
As usual, another gorgeous build!

Mike The part thats troubling,is that the fix is a few keystrokes on the press while its running. Sink marks are either not enough plastic in the mold,or (more than likely) they didn't "compress" the plastic in the mold after filling it.Think of it like when you're blowing up a baloon,when it gets harder to force air into the baloon,thats the same as the final stage of mold filling.All they have to do is alter when that happens and the sink marks are gone.

I think I made an error,
paulcolt replied to pettyfan43's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
welcome i think i must be the luckiest modeller around,i have NEVER had a crazing problem with my Revell kits? I usr H.O.K. Tamiya,and automotive laquers.The only primer i use is either Tamiya or plasticote. -
MCG makes a stromberg set in resin/photo-etch. i believe they are singles but could easily be reworked into duals.
