Rick , bein as you be manager , how bout bribing the new commers with a free Ukrops/ Martin's coffee ? Ed Shaver

I don't understand there Vince . If you have a Dupont paint code , you should be able to obtain a formula off of it. Have you looked at Auto Paint Color Library .com ? http://www.tcpglobal.com/autocolorlibrary/ Ed Shaver

Hans , thank you for bringing up the fact that the jaguar was an old Auroura kit ! i suspected this kit as I helped a friend of mine assemble thai very same kit back in 1965....? Yes , his was red too. Fletch , ya got paticence there .......... I must applaude you over you perserverence and stamana ! You need an award for going to the trouble to try and massage all the " Parking lot dings " out of that body ! Ed Shaver

George, in addition to just hobby shops , try all the craft shops , doll house shops and even I P M S .... yeah , they're a bunch of airplane builders , still you can spark intrest from the car people who have heard every horrifying tale of Japanise helecopter kits . Also since warm weather is comming , visit a few Cruise nights , yep print flyers advetising the desire to get a club together . Put them where car people gather . You'll be suprised as to who shows up . Ed Shaver

I forget the company now , I think it was Glasstron that did a similar boat . Use the outboard if you want to re create a piece of history . The other posters wern't even born when these boats were actually in the water . Meanwhile , I was around and yep even helped my father work on such outboards too. I still have his old Elgin/ Sears - Roebuck 3.5 H P motor , runs too ! Ed Shaver

How bout sum 1-24th scale Cheeburgers too ????????? Ed Shaver

Very impressive work guys ! Ed Shaver

Yes Art , please show us a picture of a 1-1 Knox automobile ! Most interesting work too . Ed Shaver

Dave is that hat you got majic by any chance ? Ed Shaver

The only Dodge Coronets that come to mind were the hardtops that A M T did as a result of a secret partnership between M P C in 1965 and the Polar lights kits that came out as Pre-painted kits . The A M T kit couldn't be built stock and I've never built either of the Polar Light kits . Ed Shaver

Fine job , fine job young man , keep up the good work Ed Shaver

Jared, I have a set of those rims somewhere , if you need them , P- M me and I can send then out . Ed Shaver

Porky , Primer and Primer sealant are two different products . Lets start with what a primer actually does er don't . Primer will show flaws and places where the surface is flawed . A good primer will also allow the paint something to adhere to. Sure , sanding is good , always sand before ya prime . Now sealers are used in cases where a " Top - Coat " may be questionable . To site an example , the last car I did was a Ford Customline 56 Model for a customer . He didn't want to strip the paint . I was reluctant but I agreed to do a repaint on the car . I sanded the paint and as a result numerous coats were revealed from 1956 too. On doing the Body work , I used Por -15 a rust neutralizer paint to combat some rust that was forming . Now I know you dont need this on plastic but it sure works good on metal ! Anyway , after I got the car in my favorite N A P A primer , i then used a sealer to nutralize any effects of the undercoats or of the por -15 on the new enamel paint . The secret to using a sealer is simple . On appliling this product , shoot a top coat about 30 minutes after you shoot the sealer . This will make you're adhesion a little better . However , on a plastic model , I don't think a sealer is nessesary . unles you plan on using several kinds of paint , ie laquers and enamels . look , go back to Advance or whereever ya got the paint and simply exchange it for a Sandable primer . Problem solved , next victim ! Ed Shaver

So thats what a Revell strret truck looks like built , O K ................. I'll still use the one I got an turn it into a wrecker though . Ed Shaver

Looks good , now can we convince Mr Flinstone to do a Non S S grille and hood ? I bet a lot of people would like one of the more afforadible variants too.......... Ed Shaver

John, considering the fact that I'm sixty and all. I can't justify the expenditure . Look Hobbyco wants somebody young , not an over the hill fart like me ...... Ed Shaver

Well, I shouldn't even bother . I had a year and a half of college . Still , I have been the photographer for two books , written one , and owned two sucessful business. I'm still active in two national car clubs as a tech advisor . The simple fact of the Bacelors degree wil always prevent me from getting such a position . Ed Shaver
