MCM Regular (3/6)

  1. From what I have heard BlizzCon's are alot about World of Warcraft MMORPG these days. I expect this years will have a huge emphasis on Diablo III and Starcraft II. Both Computer games
  2. Thanks for the help. @Maniac- Are you an Earnhardt fan?
  3. Thats a Kurt Busch car, im looking for Kyle. The young crazy mofo in the #18, not sure what he drives in Nationwide but would like that one if its all there is.
  4. Hey guys, Im not an avid NASCAR fan but during football offseason I do watch. I love Kyle Busch (dont hit me) but I cant find a kit for his car anywhere. Is there one in production?
  5. thats nice, one question. How did you get the blue headlight lenses? food coloring or something?
  6. haha thanks for the warning. One more thing to look forward to.
  7. lol I love the disclaimer at the end haha. I figured I would ask now, im new enough in the hobby that I am definitly not set in my ways with Testors Enamels, but I just remembered them from when I was a kid so I bought a bunch of testors stuff last year when I got back into it. On another question, it seems most people RAVE about laquers...whats the deal with these? How are they different from enamels?
  8. yeah i think im definitely going with a decal. Cause i dont want a lace design, i want to put an actual designer emblem on there. and it will be easier to achieve the rainbow colors with a decal.
  9. Hey all, im doing a new model right now, and something that always has me curious is drying times between coats. Ive done a search on the forum read a few things but not many people seem to use Testors Enamel cans. or enamel at all. I am guilty of not sanding much between coats, except on the body which I will allow to dry 24hrs or overnight before working with it. When im not sanding I wait between 2-4hrs for drying time before applying another coat. 2hrs if its same color, 4 if its a new color. Am I crazy? I dont have enough experience to really judge whether it works well or not. Let me know how you guys do it between coats.
  10. no missing part to the pillar (thats the part between windshield and window right? not a car guy) just very little to attach back to after scoring the door out...
  11. ah ok, i just didnt get it when you said, " LASE U COVER THE CAR AND PAINT THEN WET SAND AND CLEAR" didnt understand the way you put it. will search those paint jobs now that i understand though. putting lace over the top and spraying it.
  12. ok. im familiar with how epoxy works, but thanks for telling me because i for sure would have tried various glues before doing epoxy lol.
  13. Im for keepin em vert just cause I cant do it haha
  14. I thought a decal might be recommended. In the case that thats the route I take, am I right that there is a pearl coat or semi trans coat of some sort ontop of the decal in pic one? Or is it just a clearcoat ontop of it? I know you cant be sure(maybe you can) but what does your gut say? /EDIT after looking at Dades model closer you can see that its on the side of the body as well...still decal? it looks much less noticable so its either fade painted on or definitely some color over the top of it...thats my noob .02 though
