    I don't get this

    If you're just gonna spray floor polish out of it you can get a cheap air brush and canned propellent for less than $25.00

    If you're going for long term use ya need to educate yourself.

    Buy the cheap one and play with it to see if you really want to invest in a good setup.

    PS, as stated before, you can brush on Future Floor polish. It's self leveling.

    I set the body on an up ended brick in a plastic bowl and pour it on. Of course I'm lazy. :P

    Lazy.. nah. It's called C.D.T. Constructive Deligation of Time :)

    :lol: I got mine ;) Phantom Mustang Ranchero. Yesterday and by 10:00 lastnight I had '68 Mustang GT in hand and I've spent the WHOLE day cutting it and a '64 Falcon Ranchero up for parts. Shaving, fileing, filling, puttying, cussing, and hehehe!!! this is a GREAT way to build... Should I do this... check pic... nope! Just follow the picture DUMMY! Just find the parts ya need and follow the pic!! :D Love it.

    Thanks again, Dave, Jairus. This is awsome. :lol:

    You know what we all should do?

    We should take the first (car?) kit we ever built, and build it exactly how we inteded it to look back then - but with the skills we have today.

    Now THIS would be a funny community buildoff, nay?

    I agree. I've been trying to pick up Johan Superbird. I don't have a LHS that carries car models and on E-bay I always seem to come up a day late and a dollar short. And if one comes up for trade I don't have any older kits that the trader wants. :lol: But I can still plan. :lol:

    '69 Charger 500 Small shelf Diorama

    :lol: Again, thanks for all the good words. :lol:

    Now I just gotta figure out how to give the other 3% some ideas. :lol:

    Seriously, I, like many others here no doubt, have a wife, two children, and a mother that lives with us. So space is limited in our home. So I don't have room to build the larger dioramas that I would like to build. :lol: I went through the stage of "playing" with my dios like all the rest but now I've come to the point where I can just build them and leave them be... <_< most of the time. Many of the ones I build now are small enough to place on a desk shelf, and I'll rotate them every so often to keep the juices flowing.

    And if you're careful with a good parts box you can build two or three of these from one kit :) Definately helps on the inflation. :lol:

    Here's another one on the same size base 11" x 7", just scrap MDF.

    Sorry that there are no in progress pics but I built this before I started posting pics.
