  1. Hey Randy, glad you like it, I might be able to finish it for this weekend and probably put in on the table if I am able to make it to the meeting, thanks for the offer man...............
  2. I don't think I will be polishing or doing anything special with the paint, came out pretty nice just out of the can without any clear.........
  3. This is a little something he asked me as a gift for his girlfriend, he asked me to paint it Saphire Blue so I used Tamiya Mica Blue and hopefully it's a close match. Didn't have this model in my collection so I will be buying another one for myself, looks to be a pretty neat one to have.........
  4. Glad to have you back around theses parts Tom.................
  5. Engine with distributor and wiring done.................
  6. A little bit more progress on the 57 Chevy, fuel cell for the trunk and feed for gas.........
  7. Hey Bill, when you use the Alclad other than the chrome one, do you still use a black base first? I hear of some guys just shooting it straight on the part with no basecoat. As for me I used a black base after shooting aluminum on a part but it came out chromish like you see on this engines manifold, the valve covers are chrome...........
  8. WOW!!!!!!!!! That thing looks intimidating already, nice job on the wheels with their dark center, it contrasts very nicely with the orange color you chose
  9. Did you Alclad the bumpers? They look very good.........
  10. Very fine job as usual Randy, can't wait to see it in person. I am not even going to waste my time competing with you in the next meeting

    Very nice and clean work man, nice choice of color and the one I would have picked for it......
  12. Love the engine details w/ the plumbing and wiring. Very cool
  13. Hey my friend, I actually did try that method but what I didn't like about it was that it didn't suck enough air into the bucket. I tried different size and strenght fans but was still getting the same results...........
  14. This is the set up I made about 3 years ago. Went out to Home Depot and bought an inductor which is an 8" fan inside of a duct. These are used when you have a big house and one of the rooms is not getting enough heat because is far away from the basement or heat source. It has the wiring for electrical and thermostat connections. I reduced the size from 8" to 4" using a reducing coupler also sold at Home Depot and installed a flexible dryer vent routed towards the outside of the house. It has been pretty useful to me.............
  15. Very cool
  16. Can't say enough about how beautiful this build turned out, very clean and realistic look to it.
  17. Hey brother, this is one I did several years back with Testor's smoothster set of tires and rims. You can go wild with these kits, a lot of potential. This one is the AMT kit..............
  18. Wow!!!!! Very informative, thank you..........
  19. Wow!!!! looks great man............
  20. Very good job on the chassis weathering, looks very convincing.............

    Very nice work so far man, color combo is beautiful and the tire and rim choice very smart........May God be with you on your BMF project
  22. Hey brother, my sentiments exactly, I love these cars myself..............
  23. This is a build I did about three years ago but I want to post it for my nephew in Florida so that he can see what us plastic fanatics can do with a plastic kit, no need to go out and spend your hard earned dollars on die-cast junk.......................
