Wow! That’s looking great. Nice save.

Very useful link. Thanks for posting.

Excellent weathering. Very realistic. Coolest build I’ve seen of this kit.

If you have issues with decals laying down, you may be in need of decal solvent rather than setting solution. In MicrcScale terms, that would be MicroSol instead of MicroSet.

BIN, as a buyer. No time for auctions. If I want it, I buy it. If it’s an auction, I pass.

That thing is wicked cool. Very nice build.

Very nice work. It’s going to be cool.

Tamiya has some nice washes called Panel Line Accent. They are available in black, grey, and brown. They are enamel, so not recommended to use over other enamels. I frequently make a wash by mixing acrylic black with alcohol, about 10:1 alcohol to paint. You cane make it more thin or less thin to suit your purpose. Gloss black makes a smoother flowing wash , but flat black often makes for a better appearance when dry, depending on application.

Very cool! Great weathering. The cab may seem overly rusty, but it this neck of the woods it’s well within reason. I like it, great work.

Cool Charger!

What a gorgeous pair of old Fords. I love the style on both of them, and nice colours too. Very cool!

Great work! Interesting process. Very creative.

Good looking Mustang. Nice paint work, and love the colour.

Goo-Gone

Lovely work! I’m really digging this build.

Cool build, great subject. Well done.

Cheers Brian, much appreciated. The PE is indeed in the green car reissue. Thanks for the link, Casey. Very helpful.

I didn’t realize there was a known quarter panel problem with the Torino. Or that it had been fixed, for that matter. Interesting, as just last night I was thinking about re-bodying my original issue build. Now, all the more reason to do so. Does the ‘green car’ reissue include the PE bits, like the original?

That’s a cool photo. It makes me cringe to see all that loose, flowing clothing around the whirling, turning machinery.

Beautiful chassis. Cheers for going unblown.

Cool model. I always wanted to snag one of these, but never did. Your model looks like it would be a great start on a barn-find build. Looking forward to learning more about this interesting kit.

Yup, that's a Palmer. I had the '71 Charger when I was a kid, as well as a couple of others. Pretty crude stuff. Even as a kit hungry little kid, I wouldn't touch a palmer. I have often been amused how Palmer used the image of a micrometer, the mark of precision, to form the 'P' in their logo.

I haven't seen it mentioned in this thread, but if you are decanting, be sure to let the decanted paint sit in the jar, uncovered for at least a half hour or more to de-gas. Perhaps more. It may help to cap and shake the bottle occasionally. Pressurised gas remains entrained in the decanted paint. Sometimes, if you give a bottle of decanted paint a stir or agitate the bottle, the paint will bubble up and overflow the bottle. When decanting, do not fill any bottle to the top for this reason. Decanting works well, but if the gas has not all escaped from the paint, you may encounter problems when spraying. When the paint passes through the body of the airbrush it encounters a low pressure area (at least, in my Badger 200 siphon feed, it does) which causes any remaining trapped gas to be expelled from the paint, screwing up the flow action within airbrush, and generally making a mess at the tip causing splatter, etc.

Very cool. Great lines. It just looks so ‘right’.

In an effort to control virus spread, the dockyard I work at is shutting its doors to all non-essential personnel for three weeks, starting Monday. That will be nearly everyone. I stopped by the lhs on the way home to stock up on paint.
