  2. I cant wait to see more Dave Great work as usual
  3. I like it cant wait to see more!
  4. outstanding , super clean build keep up the good work!
  5. Wasnt hard Bart I just drew a dot on the window the size I needed with a black sharpie, then I used a drill bit in my dremel to punch a starter hole , then all I did was ream the hole out with the drill bit untill all the black ink was gone. Wahla ! instant access hole.
  6. I disagree whole heartly with stating with a single action airbrush. I started with a double action and with just a couple paractise runs on a spare body I was able to turn out fairly decent paint jobs which only got better over time. I believe if you go stright to a double action you cut out having to re-learn the same tool twice. Why teach youself something only to have to teach yourself a differant way later , when all this time can be spent perfecting the goal you set out for in the first place. So I say get yourself that double action and get good with it!
  7. AWESOME work keep it commin.
  8. Got a one of the doors finished today will finish the other tomarrow also finished the helmet so I thought id show them to you. I hope you enjoy! heres the door assembled note the window bolted onto the window frame ..... still have to clip the stems off .... I did the panel in carbon fiber.... and the helmet with visor attached.... Cya again tomarrow...........
  9. I apologize if I stated the wrong color but the paint is Oriental Blue and yes it is HOK.
  10. I purchased two 1/16th scale helmets from charlie over at ProTech and they came in today. heres what I did with one of them...... Heres the helmet fresh out the packaging.... And here it is after about 3 hours of masking and spraying.......oh and I drilled it out too. I also have a visor but I cant put it on untill after I shoot the clear on it.....
  11. You asked for the best thing to get for making decals ....Well the best thing would be an ALPS printer if you can find one , there on ebay every now and then amd most sell for right around $400.00 Ive seen then sell for as much as $700.00. Keep in mind that once you get the printer your gonna need a program like Coral draw 7 another &100.00 bucks on the cheap side. This is the best way to set yourself up. But like Bart said there are cheaper ways of doing it.
  12. That there Dave is the seal of approval. Im glad you like it Bro
  13. My next project is a 69 camaro Promod (with the works of course). The bolts are actually rivets with a 4mm stem on them (you can get them from scale hardware), I drilled the windshield, then inserted the rivet into the hole then I used tamiya clear like glue on the back side. Once the clear was dried I cliped of the stem on the back side of the windshield.
