Great lines on a Ghia and you brought them wonderfully. Excellent model.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Some very excellent builds there.

Looking pretty good to me.

I'm not a lowrider fan but your Ram looks very good. The lines just flow, the rear suspension id terrific, and a very nice paint job.

But it's as big as a go cart!

Every so often I see a model painted with fingernail polish. How do you thin the stuff to be able to shoot through an airbrush? I think the nail polish is lacquer but I'm not sure.

I just love the lines of the 1970 Buick GS/GSX.

This one had a one piece top/rear/side glass that was very easy to install.

Joann Fabrics online has 18 containers for $18.00. They don't tell you the size/weight of the containers though. I emailed them yesterday for that info. If this stuff works out, I might need to have a Kens' Fuzzi Fur sale. I have almost full containers of every color he sells through Scale Dreams.

Thanks guys. I was torn between leaving the roof in the clear plastic or painting it to match the body. I decided to leave it clear so the interior would show up better.

Does this embossing stuff come in a variety of colors?

Looking real good, my friend. Like the color combo and the wheels. Why is that big hole in the bed?

FInally completely my purple '65 Lincoln station wagon. I did some variations on the box supplied pieces and used Pegasus wheels/tires.

Thanks Don. Extremely informative. I've had a Badger airbrush for a million years and never use it. I'm now trying to use up all my rattle cans so I'll be forced to use the airbrush. You're commentary is helping that decision.

Water. You thin it with plain old water. I don't use a specific formula. Just kinda wing it each time. But I haven't tried the embossing powder yet because I still use Ken's Fuzzi Fur flocking that I get from Scale Dreams.

Oh. I ordered the new gauges for my dune buggy from Summit. There's a lot of excellent stuff in there. I'm thinking people might like it for the all pics that can be scanned and used in dioramas.

The mailman delivered a catalog that I've never seen before that has lots of neat stuff - especially for the larger scales. You can check it out at http://www.genuinehotrod.com

I don't remember ever seeing that. Real cute.

Old prescription pills bottles work too. I got some tall ones - about 6" - from my local Walgreens. I just asked and they gave me a few. I load the bottom with lead to stabilize (I do stained glass so I have asupply of lead). I roll a piece of painter's tape on the top and stick the body to it.

I used the '65 Lincoln kit that I got from Joe Handley. Spyder posted a pic of the box. Got it all painted and mostly put together so I should be able to post under glass in a couple of days. Found out last night I have a problem with zone 2 of my sprinkler system. Gotta fix that first.

Looking good. I like the blue. Haven't done that kit -yet.

You ain't kidding with flash. I've never had a model with so much on it. Probably took me a good hour to get the garbage off. I rattle canned the body in Testor's Blazing Red but had issues - it's in the purple pond right now. I hope to shoot again later in the week, but it'll be a maroon next time. I changed the hood scoop too. I never cared for the factory scoop. Too big for a smaller car.

Working on a '69 Scambler with the engine, chassis, and interior complete.

Here's a couple pics of the interior of the '53 Studebaker I'm working on. Might not be able to see it well, but I've started using Scale Dreams 3/8" hardline for turn signal levers. I cut to size, put a drop of Micro Krystal Klear on the end and paint that to match interior.

Very nice detail on the interior. Colors look terrific.
