  1. Yeah I am getting that from what I am seeing now, I probably will not add any wires anyway they would be not seen anyway. It looks much cleaner that way however. Thank you guys for all your help.
  2. Thanks guys, I was not aware that it was a Boyd Coddington design, that helps eminently! Thank you very much......
  3. I have been working on building this one for a long time. I am hung up on adding engine detail as there is not much room in the engine bay, however wanting to add spark plug wires to the engine. Does anyone have any photos, or have installed plug wires on this kit? I have searched the internet and all that comes up is a few that have not been added to. any help much appreciated...
  4. I'm with you, for someone just starting out the kits to get them in the hobby or just to build one, great. I never really cared for them till I started to look closer at the actual pieces to use for other builds...
  5. To me Tamiya tape is the best for hobbies, models, and small items....
  6. Just an Idea that I came up with looking at these metal kits, photo etch, or laser cut, whichever they are! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n--CIogQZms
  7. I finally got a project where I could use the how to from issue #138 January 2009. Making aircraft style seats for your builds. Excellent tip with great results.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HPcOhnhdgnA
  8. Yes it is up now. Just got on.
  9. Thank you. Thinner is better as it does require less coats of pledge/future.
  10. Thank you. I should have said what I have used over it, which I have used testors clear coat. And clear flat coat testors. Lacquer may be a little harsh. Have not tried it but I will have to give that a try. I will address that in part two.
  11. A little video on my YouTube channel on how and what I use for adding detail to my builds.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HT0HOJ2R_Ng&list=UUrr2mgG_W6LJBCJOVeRkYbw&index=1
  12. Using Pledge to attach graphics to vehicles. A little tutorial on how I use Pledge floor polish to attach graphics from magazines and books to my models. This is part 1, there will be a part 2 first of next week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K5z-lHqrsfY
  13. wow those look really clean!! great idea!
  14. really love that concept van/truck this is coming out awesome.
  15. something like this, I got mine at home depot for $7.00.
  16. Thank you for the tip, I am with you a magnifying glass does not work for my tired eyes. I discovered dollar store reading glasses work better than a magnifier. Another good way to is camping headlights. When I hit 40 years old the eyes got bad, now at 51 they are really bad. So I am always on the look out with tips on lighting!
  17. I will be watching this one with great interest as I am building one as well............ can not wait to see progress.
  18. Man I love this build. It is totally killer.
  19. I think it looks awesome. Top chops are the hardest thing to do in my opinion in this hobby and I have been modeling for decades and want to try a chop top but waaayyy to intimidated to try it. It is looking awesome in my opinion keep up the good work I like it very much.
  20. This is how I use sequins for c.d.s! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdXt32n_AUs&t=20s
  21. This is how I make engine pulleys without a lathe... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_BZtO1d3eU&t=17s
