Mike - a 1:1 Camaro? Can you PM me your real email address so I have it for the Model Car Builders of Florida club? We have 14 people so far.

Gotta be the tangerine color. Thanks Mike.

Thanks Dan. Appreciate the comment.

Mine too! I get to change my mask.

Which time? Marcia is my third wife. We met in Illinois for about 6 months, moved to FLA in December and got married in January. We were going to get married as soon as we got here but decided to wait until some biker friends could make it down from Illinois. January 28 will be nine years for us.

I like the colors, the engine and the way you tinted the wheels.

Gorgeous build. The '56 is my favorite of the Tri-5s.

Don't just open a window and put the spray booth vent in the space. I would make some type of plate with a hole for the vent tube that would cover the entire open window space. You don't want a breeze to blow overspray back into the house.

Which direction to go would be a problem for me too since the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

Thank you again. If it's technically a 2 tone interior because of the flocking, I'm happy.

Thanks. The interior is Tamiya Red Brown. First time I did an interior in 1 color. I usually use at least 2 colors.

Thanks Donald. I almost painted it yellow because a friend of mine bought a yellow '70 1/2 when he returned from Vietnam. Same little bumpers up front. He lives in North Dakota and still has the Camaro.

Here's some pics of the Camaro I just finished. It's painted with HOK Kandy Tangerine with a coat of Tamiya TS65 pearl clear. I used Spyder wheels and a parts box air filter.

Looking good so far, Greg.

There has to be several threads here about making your own paint booth. Pics of mine are below. I used 3/8" plywood (because I had some laying aound), 1x1 strips inside to hold the 12 x 24 filter, bathroom exhaust fan, 4" duct and it's vented outside. The cart came from Harbor Freight or Northern Tool. I ran an electrial cord to the 4 switched receptacles (light, fan, compressor, spare). The unit is patterned the size of a large Pace unit.

I just started casting and am using Smooth-On OOMOO and Smooth Cast 300 resin. Wheels are a pain but the bucket seats and fuel cells I've been doing look pretty good. I have an order in with Ma's Resin for some clear Aluminite with red dye so I can try casting taillights. Did all you Aluminite users know that Ma's Resin sells the stuff at a discount? You may want to check his prices.

George, it seems like a lot of grief could have been spared if Gregg would have just posted that he's in severe pain and is having a difficult time getting #152 out in a timely fashion.

I don't think I've ever seen a digital magazine. Would the digital version be the same as the hard copy version? If you had a hard copy subscription, why would you want a digital version? BY the way, if I understand one of Gregg's replies, it sounds as if he hurt something and is recovering. If so, hope you're doing well and get better soon (really, I mean it).

Pretty soon it'll be Christmas. Maybe we'll get #152 for the holidays.

Whoa! Those are some real nice looking builds, Gil.

Good choice, Clay. 29 Stumps is desert and there's Marines all over the place. Semper Fi.

There were just two - Doug and myself. It was great meeting Doug and we discussed forming a new club. Since FLA is spread out, we thought the best plan would be to get people in the different regions to help spread the word to get people to join in their local area. Get the word out via email, Facebook, MCM forum, SA forum, fliers in hobby shops with a name and email, 1:1 car shows & racing, model car shows, etc. The regions would then set a date/time for an annual meeting in a central location. I can easily supply everyone with a jpeg file that you can print and get posted and can also make you a membership card through email. Send me a PM if you want one. There will no annual dues until we are firmly organized. Doug is friends with Big Daddy Don Garlits and will look into a meet & greet at Don's museum in Ocala and also some table space for us when Don has a show.

As I understand it, after sanding you're supposed to put on a coat of liquid glue before priming. Does something to the plastic. I believe Mr. Obsessive posted this tip and more recently BluesmanMark. I wonder if after priming, would a coat of Future work?

Thanks for sharing the pics. Any idea how the water coming out of the hose was done?

There was a WIP posted here about a big Bronco and I think the builder used teenie weenie nuts & bolts for his suspension. I'm not very good at searching posts, otherwise I would give you the link.
