Greetings my friend, I am from Abingdon. We do meet at Greenbelt every third Saturday of the Month, I invite you to join us!

This is a really old thread, that's why you don't see the pictures anymore. I will see if I find a picture of the model and I will post it later, I even have that kit away to someone and don't even remember.....

sweet build!!!!

Great discovery Doc!!! Thanks!!!

Cool, thanks a lot. I am doing one for SA mag review but of course it only brings the factory stock looking interior. I am not allowed to alter anything but I know which colors are correct now. Thanks again my friend!

Anybody know what interior color this car was in real life?

Very cool!!!

This is the actual kit.....

'62 Catalina...

Here are a few of my models as examples.....

Okay guys, I have decided to share this page again. Fotki has been having some bad issues with their photos lately and a lot of them have dissapeared from my account, something about moving their servers to another location? Anyway, it will be quite some time before they fix these issues. In the meantime, I will again share the tutorial I wrote for the magazine but this time I will not be using any albums for this, these will come straight from my PC, hopefully you guys can use the info.

Hosted on Fotki I have 4 coats of pearl white on this photo which I took before adding the clear. It was shot straight onto white primer. You have to make sure to have enough coats for even coverage. This was shot straight out of the can, I did not use an airbrush. I airbrushed Mr. Color white primer and made sure it was very smooth. Mr. Color primer dries white, not yellowish like some other white primers. You can definitely use a white base by using paint if you want and it will help, I didn't need it in this case. Sounds to me like you are not adding enough coats on your body.....

Hosted on Fotki Thanks Ed, I used Testor's Metalizer Titanium for the lower parts of the kit with two light coats of clear for a slight shine.

Very cool Jason, I am liking the carbon fiber decals on it, it's turning out awesome!!! Keep us updated!

Very cool,one of the kits I want to put together one day!!!

Thank you guys! There are 5 coats of clear and 2 hours of wetsanding, polishing and waxing....

You are right and it's very challenging to photograph the white colors, I had to play a bit with the light and the angles in order to make it look presentable.....

Looks like I successfully did this but it might be the last time I try it. Anyway, the paint is Tamiya Pearl White with Testor's Wet Look clear The model is 100% out of box, no additions or alterations were done to it. It is based on the Aoshima GT-R Egoist.....

Let's hope this picture turns out well, I am trying something new from my tablet. In case it doesn't for some reasons show up, I will leave it for tomorrow....

Very cool!!!
