Somebody posted here to use spray adhesive and then paint with whatever color. I tried the process on a '70 Challenger after using some half round Evergreen for the seams and the trim around where the roofline meets the body. It came out pretty decent but no pics because the completed model is up north. I've heard of people using masking tape to get the texture and somebody makes a vinyl roof kit (Model Car Garage??).

Sorry to hear about the death, but WELCOME HOME!

I was in 8th grade. Looks like a ton of putty was used.

There was a fantastic R/C track in Crystal River but they moved someplace else and I don't know where.

What gravel? Looks pretty good to me. My wife has some soft leather gloves in a dove grey - but she won't let me have them. I'll keep looking.

Looks pretty good to me Nick. Where's Sally? Did you ever get the grille/bumper I mailed to you on 02/12/10? I got it, thank you would have been nice.

Any closer shots of the interior panels? They look terrific.

If the screws hold the grill and fan motor, maybe go in from the backside with a longer bolt and double nut on the outside.

Read your latest post with great interest, Dave, and then I had a brain fart. Maybe the leather from old attache/brief cases could work. I have a couple collecting dust. And then I thought maybe the fabric from suitcases and carry-on bags. I don't know if they're canvas or nylon. But maybe???

Looks long, low, and smooth. Cool.

Terrific looking pumps, Ed. What scale are they?

Welcome to the most terrific model car forum there is, Alan. I'm on a continuous learning curve here.

What is MCW paint?

Thanks for the pics, Dave, but we now need MORE, MORE, MORE.

Paasche H set (#3 & #5 tips) were priced last week - Dixie Art $59.95 Tower Hobby $54.99 TCP Global $58.94 Chicago Air $55.54 (free shipping) Hobby Lobby $83.99 I'm waiting for a 50% off coupon from Hobby Lobby.

What scale we talking Dave? If it's 1/24 or 1/25 then I'm realy interested.

Pretty neat idea and execution but I doubt it could tow very much. I like the tutorial idea.

Thanks Paul and Sam. Ed - the color is okay but there should be a separation line. I sprayed the whole truck with silver base and then went around the bottom portion and wheelwells with gold base. The plan was to have a fogged affect but came out 1 color. I'm in the learning process of airbrushing. I enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1968 after 7 grade school and high school friends and a cousin had been killed in Vietnam. We graduated high school in 1968 and 2 years later they were dead. I had my 2S Student deferment in my hands when I walked into the recruiters office. I signed up for 2 years - that guaranteed I was going to Vietnam - to avenge the deaths of my friends.

Congratulations Breck. I knew that puppy would place.

You gotta be kiddin' me! Looks like it was a fantastic show. Thanks Gregg, Darryl, John, Jim, and Kelly.

I agree with the freezer way. Never used water - just put the kit into freezer overnight.

You had some serious plastic down there. Enjoyed the pics. Thanks Len.

I use Krystal Klear for all transparent parts - window glass, headlights, taillights, side marker lights. It can also be used on gauges to get the 1:1 clear cover on the gauge face.

Welcome to the forum Goblin. I haven't built a Viper but the 1:1 is a very nice looking car. There's all kinds of help here when you need it. I'm sure somebody will respond about your Viper project. One item though, you're supposed to have your real name on your posts.

Hey Gary, your Willys turned out fantastic. The paint looks great and as I recall that's your first airbrush model. I love the color, the stance, and the wheels. I guess I love the whole thing.
