  1. it is not per se a trait of the acrylics , but the paint is enamel i think i diluted it 2 parts paint to 1 part thinner ? it would have been more shiny if i had added more thinner it is also not wetsanded or cleared i did ok on the detail painting but it is not my best overal paintjob still, its better then the ones i did before this one back to you harold
  2. man, you were right i was working on the body, had the rolling chassis sitting in the show when all of a sudden the engine jumped out snuck up on my buddy criss who just happened to pass by and RIPPED HIS HEAD CLEAN OFF it was pandolerium man
  3. with the testor enamels , yes, i would say you are safe without primering with the water based acrylics (found in the same square bottles) i would say no i've tried it but with disapointing results
  4. if it cant keep up its more of a studefaker
  5. well, there you go i picked up a can of the stuff at autozone a while ago to match a fading gass cap to my rims on my tiburon (1:1) so like i said, its duplicolor gunmetal would love to see what this goes on frank sorry for the threadjack love where this car is going, it kinda reminds me of a certain lemans audi but that was stickered nice job
  6. looks awesome so far but i got to tell you im a little disapointed when i read the title i thought it said boob banging
  7. if i might take this one the mustang i build (think it was a revell) had clear tail lenses but very nicely formed lines and very good insturctions on how to paint them i used testor acrylics (might have be enamels though)
  8. thanks i really love the way the hoodscoop looks like flared nostrils kinda made me reconsider my paintsceme

  10. i have the same kit but i already know i wont be putting that stripe on there let me know if you want it, just PM me your adress and ill send it over
  11. this here is jimmie 20 pounds of cat wrapped in 3 pounds of fur he's an awesome cat i got him from a girl who wanted him as an indoor cat and so she had all his claws removed i live way out in the sticks and i dont believe in indoor cat so i let him run out and guess what? no one told him he does not have any claws so this summer he has caught some frogs a few mice two gardner snakes and one and a half bunny (at least, he only brought me one and a half bunny) he is also in charge of keeping me inline when i am on the internet zuchiholic your cat boo boo reminded me of this one
  12. yeah, it looks awesome dude, but...i dont even have one of those in my kitchen
  13. welcome aboard jones that looks like a pretty good platofrm you got there i might have to put hydros on mine so i scoot right underneath it good job on the suspension i used to always use peices of the spruce (you know, the trees that hold the actual parts) to make lift blocks but then i read about the styrene stuff, turns out you can buy little rods, tubes, sheets and whatnot of the same material the kits are made of at specialised hobby shops so i'm using those now and that works awesome you might want to keep that in mind for the rest of the build
  14. there is one of those in my village but its not a ragtop and the silver is no where near as shiny
  15. erm, this might be close, its a model painted in duplicolor gunmetal
  16. erm...can you say hydrolock ?
  17. thanks im sure it will eventually i just placed it on front for picture taking purposes im planning on removing the foglights and sticking the mounting bars of the plow/bumper through those hole
  18. did someone say gullwing? (no where near done with the interior, it will have a dash people) ajulia that mudstank is looking awesome already looks like what a mustang would be if it were invented by marry shelly cant wait to see more progress
  19. that would be awesome to drive specially since i dont think i spotted any harnasses ? great build , love the creative aspect of it, really made it your own
  20. love the intake , are you running a 440 6 barrel with three holley deuce carbs on it, on pipe per carb? i kid , i kid, looks awesome man, specially like the passengerside door not a clue what it is there for but it looks very realistic nice touch
  21. welcome aboard casey i added your name to the list looks like your just as far along as any of us really like the window bracing
  22. WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH thats the oficial rick flair sound right ?
  23. thats what i ment thoug, when i said it was cool to see how we make it our own, even though we have the same idea
  24. absolutely that would make 2 escalades in here but yeah, you can use anything that is not military, regardless of it has been build or not
  25. oh yeah, you also stole my headers idea mine has dragster headers aswell but it only runs a 440 magnum
