  1. Love It!! Was it meant to be a wheelstander?!?
  2. I must say that the ugliest thing out there right now has to be the Smart for 2 Car.....
  3. Another great answer to a great question! I am glad that I look down the older threads I might have missed. I always glean great information like this!! I have never sucessfully removed dried decals, but I'm gonna remember the scotch tape method!
  4. Cool idea Mr. C...but white glue will stick to the styrene? Also, what to do if the seats already have a texture molded into them, like say...tuck and roll? This process intrigues me as I find that the interior of a build can be the most overlooked area.
  5. Good question and good answer! I have always wondered that myself!
  6. Really nice build! It has "Integrity"!
  7. Wow! Really good observation! I never thought of that at all. I always have a gray primer under my lacquer. I use the cheap WalMart brand. That could explain everything!
  8. Not a big fan of that color red....also, next time you might try to find a flat blue color for the chute pack as they are made of fabric most of the time....otherwise, it looks nice!
  9. I was never a fan of those type of wheels but the detail is great!
  10. (in my best Homer Simpson voice) OOoooooo Pretty!
  11. Oh no problem...however, I have had to strip Testors Laquer as well as Krylon and have had no problems with it coming off in the Purple Pond. But I may just be the exception, so it would be a good idea to have your info as well! Cheers!
  12. Let us know how the stuff works for ya!
  13. I see that you have all your answers to the paint problem......I can at least offer you removal help....I use "Purple Power" from WallMart in the large jug. Just pour the stuff into a PLASTIC container (tupperware type) big enough to fit your painted parts. Put the parts into the purple power and let them sit for a day. Then with RUBBER GLOVES (as the stuff is caustic to skin) remove the parts and using an old toothbrush give the parts a good scrubbing. Rinse well in water. Repeat if necessary. This stuff WILL NOT harm the plastic at all, but will eat the paint off overnight for you!
  14. Great Organization!! Looks like cramped quarters put to good storage use. The display case is cool too. You also might benefit from a solution I found to getting more builds per display case by building clear risers for the builds. See my post below... http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32583&st=0&p=325880&fromsearch=1&#entry325880
  15. Glad I looked at this thread! Now I also have some more choices to make. Thanks guys!
  16. And......."Larger than life is just the right size!"
  17. Awesome idea! I always have problems with my parts floating to the top and that basket would hold em under long enuf so I don't have to turn em like meat on the grill!
