Starting on the big models.
moparmagiclives replied to Mrdarkmonkey96's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I've started to pick up 1/16 kits, more so for the availability of a variety, the bigger you get, the more your choices slim down. -
Great job, i like that color. I stole a set of front spokes from a testers t bucket, huge difference on the final product! I also used a different set of slicks. I just couldnt grasp the idea of painting a tire black, their supposed to come that way right ??

dusting with silver and gold, it gives a pretty good representation of the fiber pattern. Once cleared, it has a pretty convincing effect. A little wet sanding and some more clear will give it a very nice smooth finish over the sprayed pattern. It's not totally true to scale, but it gives a good representation. I hope this helps someone, and I hope I'm not reposting someone else's idea. I looked but didn't find much on it. So I thought I would share mine. Thanks for looking.

I thought I would share something I did on a viper hood. I wanted the hood to match the spoiler on the ACR viper, the kit came with decals for the spoiler, but I didn't want to try and get decal material to lay down on the hood vents. So I decided to paint both parts together and try to get them to match. I started by painting the hood with a black crystal. I like this because it has a lot of silver in it already and pops really well. I cut out a piece of plastic window/door screen/netting found in the fabric section at Walmart.

I wonder if the guy in the car got bored watching the tach climb and climb waiting for it to stop making power lol -
That's a very clean Camaro, I need to try a texture roof one of these days.

Need help with paint issue
moparmagiclives replied to scalemodelworld's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I would have to guess there was something on the body or in the seams. Water or oil of some kind. The fender looks like moisture trapped under the paint but the hood looks like fish eye. -

Harley hits Grizzley Bear...
moparmagiclives replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I would say it was hit by a motorcycle too if I got caught with a dead grizzle on the back of my flat bed. The last guy from around here that got caught with one of those, was drug though every knot hole the court could drag him through. I can't see any markings on the truck, but the people around it, don't excacy look officlal. -
