  6. Roger........thank you so much for your words.........I totally agree with you........that was a big slap in my face.......I thought I have been loyal to this Forum........but,I was wrong.........I would have never thought in a million years that a Moderator would say that about my work.........

  9. Hi Lee.........I believe the color is a pearl cotton candy .........with H.O.K. pink kandy fogging........I will have to mix a batch of custom cotton candy using maybe 2 to 3 drops of H.O.K. pink kandy with the majority of H.O.K. snow white pearl.......I will lay down a H.O.K. white base first.......then airbrush the custom mix cotton candy.........then I will airbrush the H.O.K. pink kandy fogging........thanks Bill .........I have not thought about having the body re-movable but,that is a great idea........I might have to do that?.........it would be pretty easy to do..........i will just have to think it out..........thanks.

  24. Jim......very nice!!!!!!........turned out GREAT!!!!!
  25. Thanks Bob......this picture shows the Chrysler Fire Power valve covers........these covers are on the 1:1 car...... when I started to build the engine,I could have sworn I had a set of those valve covers with the lettering on them.........then when I went to the NNL West a couple of weeks ago I looked and found one valve cover at the swap meet like this but I,could not find the other in the box...........I should have kept it and made a resin copy.........but,I just don`t think about stuff like that........so I just grabbed a pair from my parts box that looked like the ones I needed.......and used those........I had no Idea they were wrong........one thing about modeling is that you learn something new every day.........maybe in a few more years I will learn enough not to make mistakes........thanks for the encouraging words
