Should i go buy them or make my own? I can't decide whether to use the sanding blocks or just regular sandpaper. i've got 400 up to 3000. By the way, will someone please ease my mind and tell me im not asking too many stupid questions? lol, i feel like i'm askin a lot.

Can someone give me some names of other manufacturers of model cars? All i can think of is AMT and Revell Monogram. Im kind of into more of the older cars and classic cars.

That build is gonna look great when its done! If i can ask one dumb question, what is the red substance in the first picture? looks like bondo or something. And if i can add my opinion i would definitely go with a FORD engine. I believe its actually a crime to put a chevy engine in that! good goin!

Thanks for the tips David. We have a couple plastics companies in town which i'll hit up. I wonder if the hospital would work too? Got family out there. Thanks again! T

Do any hobby shops sell these things in bulk? My airbrush only came with about 3 of these, and i dont want to keep re-using them. would surgical tubing work?

Is 600 grit sandpaper fine enough to wet sand a model. I'm getting ready to paint a 69 superbird and a 66 mustang. Also any tips or tricks are appreciated as always

My God, that superbird is GORGEOUS!!! IF you dont mind me asking, how did you get it that shiny? could you break it down for me? I'm really new to the hobby and working on a superbird myself. mine's a 69. great work bud Ben

wow, thats a sweet paint booth! what did you build it out of? I really want one, but can't afford the $500 that the good ones go for. I guess i need to look at other peoples booths and figure out how to do one for myself. Thanks for the tips!

FIRST OF ALL...let me apologize for the corny shakespearean topic....now onto my question. I have been looking at the spray booths that are available on the market. Besides the electrical things, it seems like it'd be easy to build? Are they worth the money?

Hey there, I gotta agree with everyone else that went along with lowering the back end. And man, when you did, that did it! what a great build! good job! and good luck on paint

wow...thank you so much for those tips. again you have amazed me with how deep this can really get lol. I just sort of build it paint it, but now want to make it look as good as i can. Thanks again!

hey bud, thanks for all the information and tips. also i saw the links on your reply. i may look into joining those. I too am a christian and look forward to talking to you more. Again Thanks

OK Im new to this forum and have a question. I've looked at quite a few pics in the forums and am wondering how you guys get your cars so shiny?! I'm in the final stages of the first car i've done. any tips and tricks would help tremendously. Thanks!

right now im building a 69 dodge challenger daytona. airbrushing black and red. i have a small budget, but am willing to go all out for this one

I need some help here. some of you will notice that I am a newbie here, and am building one of my first models. I want it to look really good, but not sure exactly how to paint it. As far as primer, sanding, painting, polishing. Can some of you folks out there give me some ideas on how you've done your rigs? thanks!

"...but I would simply rub out the paint and polish if I were doing a solid black paint job." im not sure what you mean about polishing and using thinner. I'm sorry, im VERY new to model building. I've started a few in the past but never have i gotten this far lol. i have some 600 grit sandpaper to sand down rough spots, but not sure how to apply thinner. Also what polish do i use when im done to make it shine? Thanks for all your help.

I am in the finishing stages of a 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona. I have some spray on clear coat, but dont know how many coats of paint (black) I should apply. Any tips on how to finish it? I plan on airbrushing it btw. If it comes out good, i'll post some pics!

THAT IS ONE GORGEOUS HOT ROD! MY GRANDFATHER HAD ONE OF THOSE BACK IN CONNECTICUT AND DROVE IT FROM THERE TO HIS NEW HOME IN SAN DIEGO, CA. THANKS FOR THE GREAT CAR PIC AND THE MEMORY!
