I paint the area to be flocked with bottle paints as close to the flocking color I can get. After the paint dries, I slightly dilute some Elmer's glue and brush onto the area to be covered. I have a cooking sifter that I dump the flocking into. I run the sifter over the area using an index finger to force the flocking through the sifter. When done I use a fingertip to gently mash the flocking into the glue. I use a clean sheet of paper under the particular part I'm flocking. When the glue is dry, I tap all the excess flocking onto the paper and then fold the paper to use as a funnel to put the flocking back in the tube. I use only Ken's Fuzzy Fur for flocking, although I did find this place on the internet - http://www.craftfloc...locking_Fibers. I was just thinking - how do you think a pepper grinder would work on distributing the flocking?

Thanks Danno & Dominik. Like I said - a very nice kit tot work with.

Is the group shot at the October 22 show or this weekend in Tampa? Here's something else to put on your agenda - October 29, 2011, Castro Farm, Ocala will be a 1:1 car show and FAST has been invited to display our scale builds. More details later.

Cool, Don.

Thanks for the info. That sleeper looks better than some places I've stayed. I guess the trucker wouldn't need to pay for a motel room and meals while on the road if he/she has a setup like that.

Same here, Rob. It's been since last February. I'd ask that you look at my painting. I think I've solved the orange peel issues I was having at JaxCon and I hope you'll agree. I plan on being there when the doors open Saturday.

Is there a purpose of stretching the frame on a 1:1 truck? Why do some of them have such large sleepers? I know nothing about big rigs, so please be gentle.

Tampa this weekend will be only my 4th model show in over 40 years. I like attending shows to - 1. See fellow modelers 2. Check out builds for ideas/inspiration 3. Ask how modelers did a certain technique 4. Sell some Crazy Scale Auto Parts resin 5. Look for the bikini contest

I think I have that album here at home. Maybe I should look and post it on ebay for only 1 million.

By those definitions, I think I've been building pro-tour for a long, long time and didn't even know it.

I switched to Corel Draw just recently because I couldn't get support from Arts & Letters Express anymore. I've never done decals, but Corel Draw sure is a powerful program.

I really like it. Purple is my favorite color and looks so good when it's SHINY :)

Tons of details there, but hard to read.

I plan on attending and we might have other FAST members attending.

Does that kit come with a hard top or is it just a convertible with a soft top?

You dogs! I'm going to be in Chicago, Rockford, and Grand Rapids.

Welcome, Dale. Lots of good stuff going here all the time.

Very nice. I dumped my homemade unit that had a bathroom exhaust fan for a Pace unit.

I get ignition wires and looms from Scale Dreams. Nice stuff!

I don't have any issues - right! I'd like to be able to super detail my builds (hose clamps, fuel line clamps, brake lines, etc) but I find it more difficult to see things and then if I can see them, my fingers don't want to work the way I want them to. I'll tell you, though, it sure is fun trying to get it right.

I like it and it's SHINY :)

What a great idea and it looks great too. Now. How in the world did you make those door panels?

Can't wait to see more. Wayne.

Appreciate it, Marty.

Beep. Beep. I like it. What paint/color is that?
