Evil Appetite

Thanks guys..got what I needed

Has anyone ever made a kit of the 66 Dodge Van? I'm not a van fan but These things are cool looking.

I do use those, I have a few of them. i've found though that occasionally, usually with my Duplicolor cans, that the spray doesn't clear the spray gun, causing it to spit from time to time or collect in and around the cans reservoir. I do use it for my hobby paint.

man, I'm really sorry about that. I truly am. I have a 22 years old cat, I stole her and saved her from a miserable life as well. in 20 years she's never been more than 5 feet from me and I truly am dreading that inevitable day. Rex had a great life though, thanks to you that I;m sure of.

Will you be doing these decals Wayne?

I may put my other projects aside this week and put it together. For a Skill level 3 it really doesnt look too bad. I think maybe it should have received a 2 instead. I'll know by they end of the week. It'll be a first but I'll post pics for you guys when it's done.

yes it is

It may be expensive..but not for him hehe

Hmmm...you're probably right. I'm eventually going to buy a can of the metallic clear. If it's too thick for airbrushing, I can always go to tool town and buy a spray gun. At $20 -30 bucks, they're inexpensive enough there. For me it makes sense. I have to decant my Duplicolor clear, as my arthritic hands make cans any larger than a Tamiya/Testors size difficult to hold and spray. At $15 for a can of spray vs $25 for a can of clear that I wont have to decant . Ill pay the extra bucks to ensure my hands don't stop working on me before I'm ready to stop myself. As I said earlier, I'm sure you're right about it being too thick for an AB, but either way, I'll let you know.

The decals are done well too and wont need much trimming before application

I,ll just go ahead and post the parts trees. They're nicely done, and not very much flash on these parts. The floor pan has a bunch of sink marks, but thats not a problem. What can Is ay about the clear plastic...mine doenst have a single scratch or blemish on them! The tires are are very soft rubber, nicely done I think

The body is nicely done...no sink marks \I can see, and the only mold lines are at the front near the edges of the front fascia, and along the tops of the rear q-panels. They wont take much sanding to knock down.

Thanks for the reply Art. I was wondering about the thinning as well. I just took another look at the page, and saw this Pre-reduced, ready-to-spray lacquer No mixing or reducing required Easy to apply and dries quickly No recoat window, reapply at any time I cant see myself buying a can of their color coats, but they do have cans of clear, and clear with metal flake. Two of their colors did catch my eye though, Candy Apple Green and Sublime Green pearl. I may try those down the line, when I have the $50 to justify spending on 2 cans of CC,.

I came across it today at PartSource, and I'm wondering if it's too hot for styrene http://www.duplicolor.com/products/psFinishSystem/

Now I know! Thanks!

It could very well be. I'll have to dig mine out and do a comparison

Just went up in New Kit Reviews Gonna do that one next. Should be up within the next hour

The wheels look good, too bad they're 2 piece..I think we'll cope though! There's an extra set of front tires on the tree as well The Frame clean and solid As for the parts trees..they look pretty good...no flash that I can see anywhere. Complete surprise The chrome looks good as well....well done and nicely plated This is what surprised me the most. wired distributer, plumbed fuel and oil lines with attached hardware. I thought this was new..but read somehwere that this was actually in the origional kit. Why they stopped doing this I'd like to know. It's a great starting point for the basics as far as I'm concerned. I sure could have used something like this the first time I did one of these kits. The parts arent named on the diagrams, but they're listed and numbered at the front of the instruction book and last but not least, the decals

Wow..really? hehe thanks!

Nice first attempt. I havent made it to that point yet. Whats fishmouth? I'm assuming it filing one end convex so it fits the rounded tube it's supposed to attach to, sounds logical but, I'm probably wrong.

God knows WHEN I'll build'em!

hey...that's so simple even I can do it!! thanks Davin!

Only one i can remember being so bad that I refused to even concider finishing it was the FF Charger. I think it's so bad that even when I walked into the local Giant Tiger department store, and saw they had them priced at $4.99 I had to stop and wonder if I should by a dozen for parts, normally at that price it's a no brainer!

I've seen here at my locals Mikes
