Removing stubborn decals... Any idea?
Dragline replied to Dragline's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Thanks fellas. I think a combo of those two will get the job done. Thanks Bob -
I have a Goodwrench Nastruck and the decals were, let's say....suspect. I applied them anyway and they did their "I don't want to play nice" and bubbles formed underneath them. They looked good wet, but dry? Not so much. But now......Getting them off is a bear. I tried tape, not much luck. Any thoutghs as to what compound [meaning a liquid of some sort] that i can dip this thing in to and have it come out fairly clean? Help is appreciated. Bob

Very cool..... How much does it weigh? Bob -
The latest would have to be the Simil'R Ford GT marcVd5. Well engineered and a fantastic subject. Two decal sheets with complete carbon fibre coverage, PE, metal springs and a beautiful instruction sheet with accurate color callouts. The price is a tad steep, but I'll deal with that if a kit is this comprehensive. Let's hope they make it for the long haul. Bob

I use Vallejo paints a lot lately. But I'm transitioning a bit to different [iE: Military, Figures] types of models. If you are building say a 57 Chevy? Well, Vallejo does not have a metalllic red to spray onto the body. They make mostly flat earth tones with some primary colors thrown in for good measure. Car models require colors the Vallejo range simply does not make. I mix and match paints as i progress which is why my paint inventory has grown considerably over the last year or so. That and my airbrush and compressor purchase. I can now shoot Alclad and basically anything I want onto the model of my choosing. Vallejo paints are superior to almost anything out there and if they made automobile colors I'd have them in my stash and would probably say goodbye to enamels forever. I shoot Testors enamels thinned with laquer thinner with great results but find I need subsequent coats for total coverage. Vallejo paints cover in one coat any color over any color. Bob

Stunning interior... Looks like the real thing, and that's what we are all aiming for. Bob

In between finishing up my Malco Gasser and a couple of other things this came in. I jumped right on it and 3 days later here we are. Intense Blue Pearl with a MM Buffing Magnesium roof. Flocked the inside and swapped out kit wheels for parts box ones. Threw that HUGE air scoop away for something a bit tamer. Alclad on the headers, scoop and blower. I need to BMF the tailgate ribs and the clearcooat on the surfboard is drying but I'm calling it done. Another one for the Deals Wheels section of my display case. I think it needs an antennae. I can almost hear "Slow Ride" on the Kraco stereo. I gotta find a better place to take pics than my bench..... arghhhhhh...... Bob
