Go buy a stick of PVC and cut it into what ever lengths your needing, lay them down, prime and glue. Either all side by side or stacked a few deep. Then you can hang it off the side of your bench or the wall out of the way. You could get real fancy and cap the ends and glue them at a staggered angle so they are pointing up a bit.

2012 Dodge Charger's?
moparmagiclives replied to robiwon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I was disappointed mopar them selves didn't offer something from AMT, like they did with the Chalenger, even though it was prebuilt, it's still pretty cool. -

$425,000,000! What would you do?
moparmagiclives replied to Terry Sumner's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I would probably end up broke and divorced, living on the street somewhere. Telling story's of all the things I had and how it all got ripped off by so and so , and poor me this or that... So I don't think I will plan on winning this one. You guys and go ahead and take. -

Thanks, it was very fun to do something so different then my norm -
I built this for the zombie build down in the community section, but thought I would post a pick under glass, the rest will be in the zombie thread. This was built with the round2 tin set, it has to be the worst model I've had yet. Made for the perfect candidate for the rusted build. Thanks for looking. I left all the info and a bunch more pictures in the community section if anyone would like to see more, there have been some very interesting builds going on down there.

I thought the mix match wheels helped tell the story of a hastily resurrection, but it still had to have at least one western wheel to go with the theme. The window screen was made from.. Well, window screen. Painted with a fogging of red primer, them washed with a little black to knock it back down some. I took the advisee of a friend who does a lot of demo derby racing, and mounted the hood with the center cut out for easy repairs ( watch the edges..) and then welded on buckle plates to the fenders for.... You know, impact .. .... It'll buff out !!! I have to thank Dr. Cranky again, this is probably the funnest model I've ever built, and had it not been for this build thread, I probably never would have given it a second thought. -

I'm going to officially call the "Nuke Boys" finished. I have to say this is the worst kit I've ever had. But that's not what this is about... Imagine your on the run, trying to beat the clock back to base camp before your stranded in the middle of no where, and a sitting shmogesboard for the living undead !! Well you didn't make it, you spot an old farm house and radio in for help. Day breaks and your crew is there just in time, as you load up what's left of your scout rig, you spot something behind the barn, something you've only heard story's about, the infamous "HEMI Charger". Rumor has it, this particular one had belonged to a family of moonshine runners down south. Who ended up meeting their demise, at the end of a large caliber rifle in a good old fashion Dixie shoot out ... The rest is as they say, history. The plug wires were made from beading rope, I think it does a good job of mimicking cloth plug wire insulation. The tunnel ram was from the parts box, already painted and grimy, ready to be slapped on. The stacks were cut from brake line and flared, then polished with a wire wheel and left to tarnish. Everything got a good heavy black wash. The south shall rise again !!!! (In my best southern draw) -

Bleed through....
moparmagiclives replied to brad4321's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
When you paint the plastic, the piant solvents loosen the outer most layer of the molded plastic, this allows the plastic to leach into the paint and almost mix with it, causing your paint to have a pinkish red tint to it. There are some good primers out there that will help stop that. Grab a few and see what works for you. -
