Very cool! Nice work bringing this resin body to life.

Good looking Chevy. I dig the dark blue hue, and the Halibrands set it off nicely. Your foil work looks good, too. Like painting, foiling is a life-long pursuit.

That is one very fine looking Cutlass, Mark. Very nice and clean. Your PE trick for the grill looks great.

Great looking Charger, Steve. Nice rescue. Love the colour.

Very cool build, Luke. I like the rust/patina, and nice engine detailing.

Yes John, very interested to hear of your results. I have no doubt this thing will take some getting used to, especially in terms of getting the paint flow just right and consistent.

I had some of that as a kid. It says "Sticks like crazy" on the tube, but it's not the good kind of crazy.😉 I had received the stuff from a well meaning relative who presented it to me along with a Palmer Corvette. There was a certain harmony in that gift, though; the kit that should never be built and the glue that won't stick parts together.

I was wondering if this thing would lay down paint in a sufficiently smooth and controllable manner to actually pin stripe a model. If it does, the real problem becomes the unsteady hand. While reading your comment it occurred to me that scribing-tape might form a suitable guide for simple pin striping. Uh oh, I'm starting to talk myself into one.

I am trying to think of a need for this thing to justify purchasing one, because I think I really want one.

That's sad to hear, but I get it.

Agreed. That's a good looking roof.

Great video. I always love a good M/T story.

Is Keith Marks still in production? He sold a lot of that kind of stuff, but haven't seen his name mentioned in a while. I would try to search him to check, but he did business from a fotki account, and I can't access fotki from my work computer.

Well now, that's very interesting. Looks much better than a featureless sidewall. I hate undetailed sidewalls, too. A lot. I hoard branded tires when I find them, and will buy built-ups and even older issues of kits just to get the branded tires. I am surprised and somewhat disappointed that the model manufactures haven't come up with some sort of creative solution to this shortcoming. Perhaps less common brands with cheaper licensing or brands no longer in production. Even fictitious brand names would be better than nothing.

Stunning build! Some exceptional model building here. Fantastic detailing, great finishes, and very clean. Hats off for a great build.

The build is coming along nicely. Very cool stuff. Never heard of the Fractal vise until Andrew mentioned it above. Just googled it. Very interesting piece. I just bought a nice Dspaie vise for holding odd shapes, but this Fractal vise looks the bee's knees.

Another super ambitious project. This will be an interesting watch, for sure.

Very interesting project.

That's a good looking Super Bee. This will be a cool build.

This is the method I use. A touch of nose oil or forehead oil on the finger will help, rubbing the painted surface firmly and vigorously. These days I am more likely to use Tamiya wax instead of nose oil, and sometimes do the rubbing with a rag or a small (1 cm square) piece of leather glued to the end of a coffee stirrer. I use Testors flat enamel paints for this work, as it stands up very well to the abuse. If I remember when I get home, I will post up some photos.

Nice work on the little Sunbeam. Looks great in that smooth red paint.

Tidy Camaro. Lovely paint. Very cool.

Good looking Torino.

Good looking Roadrunner, Walter. Shame about the excess flake in the paint, but still very cool.

The doorbell just rang... Fresh from the Plastic Model Store in Ukraine.
