  5. I wholeheartedly agree! Happy Independance Day! God Save the Queen (and all that rot). . . but God Bless The U.S.A.!!
  6. Do we want to know where and how you obtained the rodent skull........I dunno....it has a "Creepy" factor of about 9 and like jordan said...the Ewwww factor is up there as well! Other than that, your creativity is working overtime, great job!
  7. Love the looks of this car!! And I am digging the blue detailer dot on the rims too!
  8. WOW!! Freakin Sweet Build!! Great Job!!
  9. cool! Dirty tires and all!
  10. Looks promising but just a bit impractical to deal with a clamp, clay, can, tape and a steady stick. While I applaud your creativity, I myself will stick with a bent coathanger.....

  14. Very cool looking build! I love the half rolled up window....I would have never thought of that! Great detail as well!!
  15. For tinting windows, I use Future and food coloring. 1. Coat the entire windshield with Future (I usually just dip it into a vat of the stuff, set it on paper towels and blot the excess that pools near the edges with a paper towel)and let dry overnight. 2. Repeat step 1. 3. Mix the desired color of tint using food coloring, more color is desired as the Future will be applied in a thin coat. 4. Quickly Dip the desired portion of the windscreen in the tinted Future, blot at the edges and let dry overnight. DO NOT TRY TO GET IT DARK IN ONE COAT as the Future is very thin and will dissolve itself if not allowed to dry. 5. repeat step 4 6. to remove any drips or slight errors, use a qtip in clear Future and rub the color away. I have used this technique to great success, check out the bubble top attached...it is green with a clear front area.
  16. I have found that with most metallics, the lighter color the base coat, the brighter the top color will be. If you use a gray primer, the top coat will look slightly darker than say if you used a white base coat. I have not yet had the recourse to use a metallic basecoat (silver) for any metallic paints. The silver base coat would be for clear candy colors. It would be best in my opinion to use a gloss white primer coat for a more brilliant metallic presence!
  17. Ooooo Pretty!!! The gloss aluminum looks killer!
  18. Nice detailing! And those Testors One Coat colors always look great. Sweet Build!
