I use the Micro Mesh system which consists of 6 different level sanding clothes. They start at 3200 and end at 12000. You do have to make sure to have enough paint or clear on your model before starting to use this system. If you look around the forum, you will see that everybody has a way of polishing. Personally, I like to use the Maguiar's cleaner wax after using the clothes and after that I like to use a quality chamois to bring out the ultimate shine. This chamois trick I learned from Bill Geary, I always give him credit and thanks for the advice! I just dab a little wax on my finger, rub it in a circular motion and just take it off with the chamois. What I like most about the chamois is that it doesn't leave any kind of scratches like flannel and even cotton do. What I like about the Maguiar's wax cleaner is that it does 2 things, eliminates swirl marks and waxes at the same time. The best thing to do is try it on a spare body and just practice and practice, before you know it you will be a pro like the rest of the guys here on the board!!!

Very cool Irv!!! Just like all your other stuff!!! By the way, congratulations on your wins at the LIARS show, even though you weren't there, I took the liberty of taking the plaques home!!! What I really wanted was your modelss but there was a big guy protecting them, I didn't want to mess with him!!!

I actually loved the body design for this year.....

Okay, I am done w/ most of the tedious BMF!!!! That back window was a pain in the behind but it's done!!!

This is looking fantastic man!!!!

Here is a few more images!!!!!! http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/mmm...ow%2011-8-2008/

A little more progress / the BMF.....

Are you making plans to attend the next NNL at Wayne New Jersey next year? I thought I heard you say or write that on the forum sometime ago!!! I guess if you do, we will hook up then!!!

Great, now all I have to do is look for the right shoes to go with the right dress for the big Red Carpet Gala premiere!!!!

Funny thing is that they showed part of this video at church on sunday, of course w/ some of the words edited and definetly w/ Sarah out of it!!!

Wasn't that funny Harry??? I lost it when Macain stepped in man!!!!!! His face expressions did it for me!!!! At the end, when he says I'd tap that just made me involuntarily leak a bit!!!!!

It made me laugh so much I just had to share it!!!! Sorry Gregg if it's too "political"!!!

Jairus told me about this idea and I loved it, it's a spray mount tape by 3M. I am currently working on this project so I will just post the album link so that you can have an idea! http://s99.photobucket.com/albums/l284/mmm...rger%20project/

Easy-Off oven cleaner, not the generic ones, the Heavy Duty Easy-Off brand.

Awesome work, sometimes I think and I say to myself, why the heck am I building models, this guy is an alien!! In the meantime, my models look like toys compared to this. Congratulations on a phenomenal, out of this world build David!!!! You really set the bar way high...........

Wish it wasn't so far from me man!!!

I like the idea, looks good man!!!

You are a master Tom!!!! Love the '55!!!!

I guess I was lucky to find it also, just typed LIARS show @ google and found it from there!!! Talk to you soon!!!!

If you leave them in brass it will create another nice contrast with the rest of the parts, good idea about clearing them!!!

Very cool, love the dog dishes too!!!

Man, I am really digging this thing, can't wait to start on mine!!! Keep us updated please!!!

Looking good so far, like the way the spark plugs came out!!

Sounds like a plan, I was getting together with Nick Sandone on Saturday morning and from there we were going to Ariel's and pick up a couple more Philly and Jersey guys but I like your idea better, if you want we can get together with these bunch of criminals or just go straight there, you make the call. Anyway, I will be getting in contact with you if not today, tomorrow, in the meantime just respond right here on this thread to make our plans. I did call you home and forgot that you were at the CPMCC meeting today, I will talk to you soon, I have to work today from 5 to 10 but I will call you either tomorrow or during the week, certainly before next Saturday. I will call Nick and tell him that I will be making plans with you. Thanks Lyle!!!!! Are you bringing someone else with you??
