  1. I'm just surprised Danno remembers.
  2. Hey Afta, why not turn this into a real poll. We've all seen how well those work LOL!
  3. has not set their status

  4. Maybe paint in a walk-in beer cooler? Seriously, I get my best rattle can paint jobs when it's 55-60 degrees outside, the paint is warm and the model surface is warm. Steve
  5. So one of us should stand on our head?
  6. That would be me!
  7. What? Another popularity contest? And, is that the best glamour shot you've got?
  8. Mark, I believe the real reason NASCAR - be it trucks or cars - uses decals instead of operating lights is that the real lights would not conform to the body contours of the race vehicles. They only resemble the street versions at 150 MPH-plus.
  9. Can you add a picture of the poster on the wall, please?
  10. Welcome Tim! Try: Colpar Hobbies 804 South Havana Street, Aurora, CO‎ - (303) 341-0414‎ Try Model Masters Black Chrome in bottles or Tamiya's got a satin black in their spray lacquers (well worth the extra $) Don't spray lacquer over enamel.
  11. $104.82 at today's exchange rate PLUS undisclosed postage and packaging costs (I chose not to login to get this info) for a slammer? Not for me.
  12. They were part of a new electronic Rorschach inkblot test. Stay tuned for your personal analysis.
  13. Try applying and burnishing down the BMF. Use an extra wide piece. Before cutting off the extra polish the BMF with a metal polish such as Semichrome, Wenol or even Tamiya blue cap using Q-Tips and cotton balls. Keep the polish from getting on the paint.
  14. I've always wanted to do an RSX. Your's is an inspiration. Got to go dig through my stash.
  15. Simón, were you in Phoenix recently? Last GSL as well? If so, then we spoke briefly. Yes, David is a great painter. I'd bet that even on the car he stripped and repainted 22 times that his first coat was better than my best coat.
  16. Never have done space, Sci-Fi, or figures - not that there's any thing wrong with them. On a more serious note: Planning on attending the IPMS Nats?
  17. I don't believe the shelf life is affected by time as much as usage - law of diminshing returns - the more you use it the less effective it becomes.
  18. Great, Pete! Now you've aleinated the space modelers.
  19. Gary, I believe Purple Power is WalMart's answer to Castrol Super Clean. Be sure to wear gloves - nasty stuff.
  20. Sacrificing virgins! All for the sake of a model? Where is this hobby headed?
  21. You've posted two seperate topics on the same subject. Both have pictures of the real car. Neither have any pictures of your WIP. How about some pictures of your model on the work bench?
  22. David, your painting results are beyond words. I understand your explanations so far but you must be holding something back. How do you keep trash from settling into the paint? Paint naked in the shower with the water on? Have a clean room? Steve
  23. David, you continue to amaze me. Inspiring! Steve
