brett

Thanks Richard, well 2 of the 3 decal sheets have bitten the dust even with decal bonder , I had scanned them so will probably have to go that way once I get some more white decal paper.

Thanks George, the black I used was/is DuPont basecoat, its the same as whats used on the dash, as for where to get you're out of luck from me ( I live in New Zealand) ( down under) so can only recommend you try hobby shops either online or local to you. i f you ask in the general board I'm sure someone can point you in the right direction. Good luck and thanks again. Oh not sure if it looks better over gloss or not, assume it go's on the same.

Thanks Steve, its Pactra's purple pearl, kinda pinkish over white but purple over black got a bit done today/night but the pics are a little dark, ya should be able to make out whats going on tho chassis is complete decals tomorrow

Nice,Jim. Love that blue too

Thanks guys , Engine, block is painted with DuPont bright aluminum which was then dullcoated ,heads , exhaust and manifold are metaliser stainless steel unbuffed and the carbs are metaliser titanium with titanium silver dry brushed over them. No other work done to it yet. Chris, I know what you mean, but think I'll scratchbuild a more modern looking frame to display like that. Richard, what can I say but modellers ADD . Nah really go to get back to them and the willys, but hands have been real bad at the moment so just easing back into it. the 57 is stupidly close to being done , need to make up fuel cells for the mustang and willys and fuel pumps for both. Have done the rear end for the willys so its almost on wheels now, new updates hopefully soon. Body is DuPont white masked off the bottom then DuPont black misted on the top half as I used a Pactra acrylic rc paint for the purple. will post pics of why with next update.

This is looking great, love the front end work.

NICE work Chris, real nice and really easy for us to copy (one day lol)

This is my second build of this kit first was when they came out down here around 2000, but the decals were destroyed on that one when the clear coat was applied. anyways it will be box stock, traced around the decals with some clear acetate to make the paint masks (hopefully I placed them right :-/).

came out NICE Rob

Thanks very much guys

like this? http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=38517 it needs some competition Cant wait to see what you come up with Micheal

Frames are looking better than ever Rob, now dont forget to keep us updated

Havent actually built either of these two (do have the fc tho) but the best way I've found is to trace the profile of the decal onto some clear transfer paper (acetate,or any other clear packaging will do as long as it has a little give in it to conform to body curves), then cut it out and attach to the car, mark your edges with a pencil then lay your tape. Its not half as bad to do as it sounds.
