Nice, clean, sharp

Thanks bryan. I appreciate all of your and everybodys comments.

My attempt at heat staining. Led installed as an after burner. I made a rear tire holder oner out of the wheely bar. This had to be fabed up because the rear end was in the way of the jet. So some extending sawing gluing and melting was required to get it to fit and serve its purpose. All the locator tabs were cut off when i cut the tub. That made things difficult. I cut the rear fatties down by 1/2 but they looked like crud. They had to be narrowed because they wont gone fit with the jet and the wide tires were not needed on a jet car. Help was delivered when i got a 65 Fairlane XL in the mail. It came with 2 extra rear tires for a drag option. The model gods smiled at me I am using the stockers on that build so i stole them. And finnaly

Your build looks great. What do you use for washes. When i use metalizer paint the wash i made out of acrlic always makes the part look dirty. I get the contrast effect but the metal will take on to much wash. Any help will be welcomed.

Welcome. Cant wait to see you finnish

Looks sweet

I am in the dark about the foil and eraser. Will some body lead me to that post or explain what he is doing Thankz

Cool beans on the pup. I have a bag of bones that some worthless punk abandoned in my neighborhood now. Trying to get some meat back on her and get her healthy. I apply named her bonez. Cant stand a so called humans that abuses a pet. She already shows she loves it at my house. Love the build. I am grinning like a idiot following it

I am learning as you build. Thanks

Just picked this up from hobby lobby

Well it was tricky. First prime and paint your model simi gloss black. Sand out trash and keep the paint level. You have to work with brand new blades. Change them often. The carbon sheet i use comes with a kinda transparent sheet that keeps the decal from sticking to the plastic bag it comes in. I use it to cut out the basic shape and trim trim trim that pattern till it is very close to where it goes. Use natural breaks in the car as points to start/stop a new decal. You may need to cut reliefs in areas where the model is round. Trim off any overlap because it will shine if you lay down a clear over the carbon. Use micro sol and set to bend the decal into shape. Do any trimming quickly after applying. The pattern can be flipped to be used in the other side of the car. Keep in mind the carbon has a "grain". Keep it square and going in the same direction. Be prepared for some attrition. Spray a decal safe clear to seal in the decal. This gives it a real look but points out your errors like a flair in darkness. I used testors wet look one coat lacour. Use any method of throwing the eye of others off of any errors. I used the kit decals and i will finish it with pe hood pins. One last thing, NOTHING on a car is flat. It may look flat but it aint. You will see this once you put the flat decal on it.

I will have to check ur store out

Once you have an apple product you will never buy anything diffrent. Mostly because you will be broke

The tuner ver. Is next on my list

Road kill that is sweeeeeeeeeet

The brock buster is the bre datsun kit with regular seats and dash board. It was realsed in the 1970's. revell re-released it in the late 90's as part of the tuner series. That is the blue one with a huge datsun hamburber on the hood.

martinfan5 Today, 04:53 PM I pick up the brock buster kit a few weeks ago for $15 Want to sell it

Yall quit picking on me. I am posting on my iphone cause i got that stupid FBI virus on my laptop. Add to that i have big sausage fingers. Sausage fingers and iphones dont mix

Just build to have fun. Dont worry about winning.

You can score the pod racer on ebay for less than 20 from time to time and the pro street is 13 with a 40%er at hobby lobby

Should have went for 18000 and bought 1000 dollars worth of kits

Won this on ebay. 100 bucks. The block buster kit is worth that alone. More than likely gonna sell that mustang. Or i may just keep ot for a quick build

What do each of the "ranks" mean. Some are mcm friends. Some are mcm ohana and so on. I have alway wondered what meaning each have. And the dots. What is that about

Needs more bullet holes. Just kidding. Would be kool if you could make rommels head on fire. Great build. May pick the one up at my lhs

May i correct myself. There are a few "things" you dont loan out. I would suggest not loaning out your thongs also.
