    David, I spent a lot of time at the model show looking for your glass and some 50 Chevy pickup parts I needed and came up bust on all of them. Sorry. I wish I could have found at least one thing but I didn't. Later-

    No need for a trade. Let me get to looking. Later-

    David, Let me take a look. I may have it. If I don't, and you're not in a big hurry, I have a model show to go to on the 5th. I can look there. Later-

    Got back from visiting my parents for a week to find these waiting for me. The Mazda was just $14 delivered! Got to figure out what front clip might look good on that 49 Ford. Later-

    Getting some work done tonight on a project.I started about 3 1/2 years ago. Just a little mock up before getting it ready for paint. Later-

    Bought a storage unit of semi model kits recently and these were some of the odds and ends included. Also made a trade for several pieces of resin. That should be enough projects to keep me busy for now. Later-

    My thoughts exactly! Figured they may have represented an, unfamiliar to me, aftermrket set or some odd thing like that. I figured there are a lot of guys on here that are knowledgeable of the history of the old AMT kits that might be able to fill me in? Later-

    I pulled these valve covers off of an AMT screwbottom 63 Riviera engine. Who can tell me what these say, and why? Later-

    Thanks. No, I mean a 1:1 that he had years ago. Later-

    This is my first commission build. The guy wanted it built similar to one he had years ago. I mixed a couple colors of nail polish to airbrush the body. Mixed three acrylic paints for the interior color. I also added styrene strips for the trim of the vinyl top and sprayed it with semi gloss white. This wasn't the funnest of kits to build, but it is done and the customer is happy. Now to get it to him in one piece. Later-

    Not the best kit to build but it was fun. The decals look great on the sheets but are a pain! The carrier covers the entire sheet so you have to cut very close. They are also thin and most removed themselves from the sheet while pulling them out of the water. Then they would curl up on me before I could get them to the body. Ruined most of the ones I wanted to use. Oh well, here it is. Later-

    Those are PERFECT! PM sent. Later-

    Thanks for the reply. I sold that kit off last year so I won't need them. Later-

    Yeah. Unfortunately it still wasn't enough. My clearcoat wasn't cured enough and the tape stuck to it. Pulled some of the paint off in a couple of places and major bleed through in others. So much for me finishing this in 48 hrs. The body is in the stripper now and this project will get finished another day when I can let the body sit for a week and gas out. Oh well. Later-

    7 hrs in (3 AM) and the interior and chassis are done. Just need to install the wheels/tires. The body is in the dehydrator. Tomorrow I will tape off all of the trim and spray it satin black. Later-

    Nearly 5 hrs and I've got the final paint and a couple of coats of clear on it. Looking decent! Later-
  19. Modlbldr
    I'm a bit over 2 hrs in and I have the first couple of coat airbrushed on the body and the chassis painted black. A bit more done too. Later-
  20. Modlbldr
    Yeah, my plan is the same. Mask and spray the black. Going to have to make sure the body is dry. Later-

    My thoughts too. Thanks for your answer. The only other kits I am familiar with are the Fujimi Enthusiast kits, of which I have a few. Glad you could answer the questions. The build-off starts tonight. I need to do some bench cleaning an paint locating today in preparation. Later-

    Thank you everybody! Glad you like them. Later-

    Thanks again everyone! Much appreciated. Later-

    This is the next kit on my bench. Doing a 48 Hr build-off on FB starting Fri, July 19 at 8 PM until Sun, July 21 at 8PM. Going to paint it with an old bottle of Testors Manganeze Brown Metallic. I've been hanging on to this bottle for probably 15 years to do this build. I poured the paint into a bottle and mixed with thinner for the airbrush. I will post pics along the way during the build-off. Later-
