Does the medical tape come from the drug store & is It the same stuff that one would wrap a sprained ankle with?Will it state on the package that it is cloth tape or other type? Thanks In advance Gary Thomason.

Has anyone who has viewed the Don Yost dvd about airbrushing with Boyd enamel paints tired this method? Did you have good end results?I plan on trying his method,I have ordered the Testor Boyd enamel paints & clear from tower hobbies & will order the Metal flake from Gary soon.

I bought a Porter Cable six gallon unit that works great,for 164.00&change from Lowe's.It hardly every comes on so when it does,It scares the s##t out of me.Gary Thomason

Thanks Gregg,Happy Newyear.Gary

Where does one go to post pics in the Gallery?I did a search ,no luck.If it Is In front of me I cannot see It.Yes I can view other modelers pics,but no Info on posting .

I think that one could be had from a consignment shop or yard sale but you are right to much stuff already.

I agree that HOk & other lacquer colours are attractive & the choice is mind boggling.The down side is price verses enamels which seem to be available every where,Wal-Mart hardware store etc.etc.The dry time of enamels is a real turn off & a dehydrator is a whole new can of worms.

I have a decision to make & was wondering if any one has built one of these kits.This will be my third project (first of the new year).I will be following the golden rule , KISS. Any thoughts ? Whats your first kit for twenty ten going to be?

Jim, That sounds like me to a tee.I got a paasche H airbrush ,built a spray booth and ordered a set of HOK paints.I also have Don Yost`s dvd on order.I did paint my second model with the new airbrush using Krylon red that I decanted & I think that It turned out okay.I going to wait on the dvd before painting my next project.

Nice looking rides Vizo 93,Love the Mustang.Happy new year.

Man that's awesome work. You are truly gifted.Thanks for sharing.Gary Thomason

Here's one more.

Hey guys ,just click onto the pic for a larger view.

OOOPs here's the photo.

Well after lurking & reading on this site for a time I decided to try my hand @ building a plastic model. This is my second attempt, the first one got it's little self put back in the box. I choose this 32 Ford roadster Revell model because I thought that it was just too cool. Thanks to all who share their expertise on this site in order to help beginners like myself. I built this kit straight out of the box except for the tires & rims which came from an AMT Vicky kit that I bought just for the wheels. Any constructive criticism would be appreciated. See 3rd post for pic. I went a little brain dead. Thanks in advance. Gary Thomason

Photos please&do not worry about questions.If know one ask them ,this site would not exist.Gary Thomason

I to got a paasche H air brush for Christmas. I bought a Porter Cable air compressor with a six gallon storage tank & built in air regulator.I installed a water in line filter & attached my air hose ,And away I went .I adjusted the air pressure to thirty pounds & airbrushed my 32 Ford roaster with Krylon fusion red that I decanted.The compressor never cut on once.This set up is a vast improvement over my previous set up.Happy dog here in the low country.I brought my air compressor from Lowes for $164.00& the in line water filter for $12.00.Gary Thomason

I`m new to this hobby but have been lurking for sometime now in this forum. I've gotten a few kits & I`m just working out of the box for now. This forum is interesting & full of great how to info. I have read about resin kits or parts on how to clean glue paint &/or putty them, but why buy a resin body when one is supplied with the kit? It seems that in order to buy a resin body one has to buy a donor kit. Also the info in regards to the resin body is not supplied or info is limited. Is there a book on resins? You know info on how to cross reference on doner kits ect. exist? Thanks in advance Gary Thomason

I got it .Any way to get rid of it or should I just send it to the stripper?I used two types of Dupli color primers white & grey .I used the three coat approach light.medium & heavy,sanded & spray the dupli color brilliant black& added a lacquer clear.Can I polish or sand the orange peel out?Where to go from here?

Say Bill,what &where are the sink marks that smart-resins noted?
