Some of the bestest ones I have seen!! Well done.

I have the Making of Grand Prix on DVD. This is going to be a must get. Don't by pirate or illegal ones. I got took by a scum bag on eBay, thought I was getting an original DVD of The Doberman Gang, turned out to be a copy from the VHS tape. Turned in him to MPIA and others.

I was just going to post the same thing!!!!!! Getting there, right guys?

And the Cents of Humor!!!!

Yes, you're right, it is a Boyd Smoothster that Eddie Hard cut open the doors to. The two kits you got are some of my favorites. I have at least a dozen of the `32's and about the same of the Willys, in differnet forms. As for wiring the Ford small block in the `32, it depends on how detailed you want to go. The easiest way is to get Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Maryland's predrilled distributor and some wires from Detail Master and follow the firing order the 302. If you want to go all out, get the RB Motion miniature spark plugs and boots, and some photoetched spark wire looms and use real car mags for reference on the layout of the wiring. We are going to run complete engine wiring and detailing articles in the very near future. Again, welcome, and hope you enjoy the board.

like I said, I had shot the red already and had polished it out, then found out 2/3 of the car has to be yellow. I was going to tape car up and lay down white primer base, but thought, what the heck. Try it! I washed it, let it dry, then taped it up. I let Tamiya Yellow sit in sink of hot tap water. You know can is ready when you shake it and it doesn't turn cold. If it turns cold, keep it in water longer. I sprayed very light coats, one every five minutes. That was the key, go slow, and let the paint gas out. It covered the red well, which really surprised me. The red is Tamiya Itallian Red, both spray cans. Seriously, it was a piece of cake, one light mist coat or pass at a time. I never made two passes (that cute girl at the bar don't count) on any panel untill car was completly covered, or the 2/3 of the car anyway. To help the tape guide, I scanned the decals for the Italian flag down the body, printed it, and cut it out to use as a template. I always use Tamiya tape to tape off anything. I rub every single milimeter of the taped area with a rounded/sanded toothpick. This leaves a near perfect tape line. After dried for couple hours, there was a slight paint build up, but I rubbed it with polishing cloth and it went away.

I agree, with only the body, dash, and chassis plate in resin, it does make it challenging. I have found that the automotive primer surfacer, not sealer, works the best on the metal parts. I am still experimenting with soldering white metal, don't yell, I am using the resistance soldering set. It works fantastic on photoetch, have to practice more on white-metal

This is their new Ferrari Daytona 365 GTB4 Competizione from LeMans in 1973. Beautiful two-tone paint job. Didn't know it was two tone until I had painted all the red first. The yellow went down on top of the red, very surprised it worked as well as it did Couple tricks with these or other decals, slice them where the panel lines. I have seen too many decals that just lay over a hood or door line, just doesn't look right. These have to be some of the best if not the best decals I have ever used. No outlines, or clear around edges of decals.

Can't wait to see this one on a contest table somewhere!!!

We have set March 3, 2007 as the deadline for the Build A Trike Contest.

I am always impressed with your builds.

We are actually running an "Overhauling" piece in MCM by Mr. Mark Jones. An old GTO that was resurected :-)

Doing this for Studio 27

It's a labor of love, but I love what I labor. wait, does that make sense?

Guys, I need your help. I need a few high res digital shots of finished or almost finished Trikes from the Retro Hobby's set. Any of the four will do, custom, stock, or modified. I need them ASAP, or DASAP (double ASAP) Thanks

Fujimi also made one, I wonder if Revell's is the same one?

Hope you enjoy the board, and don't get too bored! :-)

The best I have found is Poly Scale's Easy Lift Off It takes off everything, but is very harsh on plastic if you let it sit for more than a couple of days I would recommend checking body or parts every day, twice a day would be better, to see if softening plastic. I had an Aston Martin DB4 I painted with lacquar, then two-stage Dupont Chroma Clear (which is the hardest paint to remove ever) and the ELO worked, but it took a while. I soaked the body for a day, scrubbed it with hard brush, place back in container. ELO is expensive, but it works when no other will Rubbing Alcohol 90% or higher works really good also.

#114, May/June I'm finishing now Blow the minds of some, you think?
