  1. Very nice build David. I like the plain Jane look and the six banger looks great. Well done.
  2. I used to use lacquer thinner when I paint with enamels. Mainly, I use Testors enamels. Lacquer thinner works well, but I discovered Enamel Reducer works a heck of a lot better, along with Enamel Catalyst/Hardener. I thin my enamels with the Reducer just like I would with any other thinner. To the consistency of milk. I leave a little room though, in the airbrush bottle and add an eyedropper full of the Catalyst/Hardener. Instead of a month wait for the enamel to gas out and harden, it's ready to go in 7 days or less. The Catalyst/Hardener increases gloss, increases hardness and considerably reduces dry time. I find that I have less need for a clear coat using this process. I clean the airbrush using cheap lacquer thinner. The products mentioned are Tractor Supply house brand called "Majic". I also use lacquer paints and my thinner of choice is Dupont #3602S. I've never used acrylics to paint a body so I can't offer anything for that medium.
  3. I just looked up and viewed their music video. I have to admit, although they aren't my type of music, that video and song was VERY cool. I like that Charger and especially liked the big 'Ol Lincoln the dude was driving. So thanks for that. ZZ Top (more my era, lol) used to use their custom 32 Ford Coupe in some of their music videos.
  4. Very well done Galaxie. I love that color.
  5. Great work, very nice in that color.
  6. Great work, very well done, nice, clean build.
  7. I really like your Shelby. Your color choice is is not what one would expect on this car but it's top notch and the way it looks in slightly different lighting really makes this build shine. Excellent idea to show different lighting conditions. It looks smashing in direct sunlight. Two thumbs up Steve. ??

  11. First one of these Jo-Han's I've ever seen built. Beautiful car, very nice build.
  12. Great looking Marauder. The color looks very early 60's, and the interior is a very nice match. Well done. One of my favorite AMT kits.
