Roger, I've made display cases with some scrap wood for the base and plexiglass I bought from Home Depot. used clear silicone to glue the corners and top. I buy the plexiglass in larger sheets and cut it to what I need. Comes out cheaper.

The diner is looking so cool, Sam. Excellent craftsmanship.

Wasn't the Cyclone a fast little truck but one that couldn't haul anything in the box? Kind of a useless truck, no?

Your attention to detail is amazing, Raul. I love watching your progress on this build.

Thank you guys. Appreciate the positive feedback. I think the coupe will look good in a street diorama - all I have to do is build one like Sam's.

I'm loving the airbrush. It's so much better thna the rattle cans. I need to order more paint from TCP Global.

Thanks Ron. I have a couple more of the Revell coupes to build. I've learned from this one and will make some changes/improvemnets on the next one.

Roger - how's this idea? Pack your dusty models in a box and send them to me. I'll clean them but you probably won't get them back. Sounds like a pretty good deal to me.

Best forum there is Mike. Welcome.

I like it! What did you thin the nail polish with?

I keep my really good build in a Carney Plastics case that holds about 27 kits. I have a couple in homemade plastic display cases. Others are kept in an entertainment center behind glass doors, and others are in a plastic encased diorama. The easiest way for me to clean to to get out a soft rag and a can of Pledge furniture polish. I like the lemon scented stuff. One by one pull them out and clean/polish each of them.

Nice and clean looking. Love the paint.

I posted in progress pics and here's the completed build - HOK candy red pearl over a gold basecoat; polished aluminum exhaust; painted wheel spokes to resemble magnezium; used the Ford engine option with parts box air filter; liberal amounts of Detailer red wash on the grille, valve covers, and air filter; black chrome BMF on the running boards.

Probably won't be the answer you're looking for Jason, but that fingernail filler smells like hell and dries extremely hard. I tried it on my '62 Catalina. It works but next time I'll apply it near a window with a fan blowing the fumes away from me.

Looking excellent, Sam. Can't wait to see the completed project.

It's the new Revell'32 Ford 5 window coupe, Russ. More progress today - body and radiator are mounted. Headlights & bar complete and mounted. Hooked up the coil.

Doesn't do much for me. Whatever happened to the proposal about a tutorial section? I'd rather see that feature added.

Nice job. It's hard to tell the 1:1 from the model.

Kinda like a fine woman - never see enough. Thanks for sharing your pics.

Super Terry. Thanks for sharing.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

Super pics. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for posting those fine pics.

Great pics, Marcos. Thanks for sharing them.

I make use of clothes pins (wood and plastic) to clamp pieces together when glueing.
