Mikey ! You're a nut ! But ..... That's why I luv ya ! Lol ! A very good man once told me that one day I would have to play it forward & give back as to what I had been given . While this particular instance referred to softball , I have never forgotten it & expanded upon it as I grew older . I want others to experience the joy and love that I have for this hobby . Hence the DVDs & my willingness to help out where I can ...... Thank you , buddy !

Ed , You won't regret it for one minute ! I have found that when I am teaching , more often than not , I am learning at the same time myself . They are well worth the cost ! Tim , As of late , I have been doing far more commission work then building for myself . I am scrambling right now to complete as many bodies as I can for the NNL East show in April . I have more than a few projects started for myself but I am up to my ears in commissioned work and they simply sit on the shelves , giving me dirty looks ..... Lol ! I will be posting more pictures as time permits .... Thank ya'll for the compliments , they are greatly appreciated !

No sir , At that period of time I was involved with the HO train world & did not re enter the model car world until early 2001.

No , the wheels are from one of the older Revell Willys kits ..... I wish I had about 20 more pairs of Bob Dudek's aluminum slots which are similar .

Lone Wolf Custom Painting will be there !

All good , Matteo .... Not a problem , my friend !

Sorry , Bob .... This is just a buck that I built to show case the bodies .......

Another phantom , what if , coulda been ......

Hey , Gang ! Just a bit of a reminder... Quite a few of the individuals involved with the aftermarket have full time jobs . Otherwise , the return address would be a mailbox attached to a cardboard box somewhere underneath a bridge overpass . Speaking for myself , the full time job , commissioned paint work , and running the business , more often than not makes time an enemy rather than a friend . DVD orders are usually in the mail within 4 days , at the longest , a week to ten days . Please learn to be patient . If you don' t hear from me or receive your order within the aforementioned time frame , email me ! Do not file a complaint with PayPal , contact me first . While this is a rare occurrence , it has happened. These actions only lead to more confusion & time wasted ..... I actually had a customer from Germany order the DVDs on a Friday and file a complaint that Sunday alluding to the fact that he had not received his order or payment received notification . Problem being , I was running around on a softball field all weekend . All of us have lives outside the hobby and our businesses . This should be taken into consideration , before one reaches to push the proverbial panic button . Scott Aho , Who is Donn Yost ? Just another anal retentive dimbulb modeler with a passion for the hobby ..... Thanks for "listening " , Ya'll ! Donn

A pastel chalk set would probably fit your needs .......

If you are painting on a concrete floor , wet the floor down before you spray . Plastic walls , booths , etc , already have an electro static charge built in . The slightest movement resets it . Carpeted floors are also a big no no in a spray area . Move your work table away from your painting area also ......

Art supply store will carry chalk sets . Cannot be beat for weathering effect .....

Stating that enamels take many days to cure when cut with cheap lacquer thinner is patently false ! I cleared three bodies yesterday morning and wet sanded them out this morning . That's within a 24 hour period ......... Booth temperature was 68 degrees with low humidity . Generally speaking , a one to three day flashout period is to be expected when using a cheap lacquer thinner to cut the enamels with . Donn Yost Lone Wolf Custom Painting

I agree that the names should not be shown also . However , the secret is that there are no secrets .... Someone knows whose builds belong to what builder and word spreads like wildfire amongst the brethren . Also , builders who have a certain style will have their models easily recognized as to whom they belong to .

Simply remove the hood and set it next to your model . If you had your model in the street machine class , for example , you were actually presenting a curbside , rather than a street machine per se . Detail under the hood of your fellow contestants models kicked your butt ....

Very well ! I , for one , can never seem to leave well enough alone .... Lol !

For the 1/2 ounce bottles , I go two parts paint to one part cheap lacquer thinner . The 1/4 ounce bottles , standard colors which are thicker , I go 50 / 50 on the mix . 1/4 ounce metallics and pearls , revert back to the 2 to 1 ratio .

Beautiful work , buddy ! Best you hide this from The Crankster or it could disappear into the lab , never to be seen again .....

Thank ya'll for the compliments , they are greatly appreciated ..... The Old Man

There is nothing on this planet that could be considered perfection .... That being said , the NNL East show is run like the proverbial Swiss watch and comes close . Kathie and I would like to thank Tom and his crew for putting on an excellent show once again . Wonderful to see and hang out with old friends , my adopted " kids " , and meeting and making new friends . A special thank you to Lisa Laski for arranging the trip for Art and to finally getting to meet a true hell on wheels modeler ! A special thank you to John Papp for the hourly countdown till show time ..... Lmao !

The technique works with the H too ... You just need to learn how to use it ......

Saw this up close and personal on Friday night . In a word .... Gorgeous ! I'll be purchasing quite a few of these and painting even more of them !
