[Ace Hardware store sale]

You have ACE hardware stores with models in them??

[My 56 Chevy US Tour]

Looking forward to seeing the car this next weekend! Neat idea. That baby is gonna have some miles on her. Hope she makes it through all of her travels without any major problems!

['69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe]

Looking great so far Greg. It's cool seeing cars replicated in scale that weren't actually available in kit form. You are definitely a brave soul to use that kit as well and try to turn it into something presentable.Your work looks awesome so far. Can't wait to see more progress!!!

Thanks Brian. It's been a learning experience for sure. I've never taken on a conversion like this so hopefully it turns out.

['69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe]

Wheels look good, how did you end up doing them?

Thanks Brett. I ended up stripping the chrome back off of them, priming them with gray primer and then I painted them with Tamiya Silver Leaf.

[Revell '32 5 window coupe]

Can't wait to see it! Nice to some "out-of-the-box" thinking.

[Spare parts '32]

Somebody might want to let that girl know that her left cheek is hangin' out a bit!

[Modelers High]

I love the first time you see how the model sets, that perfect stance or when it's done and you can't wipe the smile from your face and you catch yourself literally saying outloud, "That looks bad###!".

[Here's where I'm at now.]

['69 Chevelle 300 Deluxe]

I wanted to have 'er up on all fours by tonight and I barely made it, but here she is! Finally starting to look like a car!

[Gary Weckessers Mach 1V Mustang " Finished Photo`s"]

AMAZING work John. No doubt, hands down, THE BEST work I've seen on a model car engine ever! They look so real that.......I'm literally at a loss for words. You outdid yourself here. BRAVO!!

[1969 Camaro Pro Mod w.i.p updates 03/06/2011]

Wow! All I can say is....wow!

[1960 Impala]

Donn's the guy to listen to!

[Suckers bet nova wip]

Now THAT'S a sleeper! Very cool.

Oh, btw, welcome!!

[models]

Still don't see anything....

Do you need some help?

[Modelers High]

I'm gonna wait til this one is done before I post pics. It's a curbside, so not much to see til it's done.

Whew! What a night.

Ahh man! That's mean!

[68 Hemi Dart]

Sure looks mean!

[models]

I dont see anything....

[70 Camaro SS]

That paint looks frickin' awesome!! Where did you get the BFG Radial T/A's?

[How do I duplicate these aluminum wheels?]

I stripped the chrome, primed them with gray primer and then painted them with Tamiya Silver Leaf. Now I've just gotta figure out how I'm going to go about chroming the front center caps.

['32 Ford Sedan Street Rod]

I can't believe I'm going to say this but...I kinda like the wires. I think it fits it pretty good.

[How do I duplicate these aluminum wheels?]

Ok, so here's the way I went. Let me know what you think.

[I did it.]

Grab some old extra parts bodies and keep practicing. Your next one will look like a million bucks! Nice work on this one.

[New to the board but not to modeling - AMT '25 T Chopped Coupe]

I think I saw this over at the other website. Nice looking car. Welcome to this place!

['32 ford cabriolet]

Nice looking body!

[BMF, I don't want to do this.]

Another tip. I have used a whetstone to sharpen new #11 blades even more before using them on BMF.

Also, once a blade is too dull for using on BMF, it's still plenty sharp enough to use on other models when needed. You don't need to throw it away just because it's too dull for foil.

I second this. I have 4 different levels of what my blades go through. They have their separate labeled containers as they pass through their different levels. They are:

1) Brand new. Good for BMFing and photoetch metal parts.

2) After BMFing or using for photoetch. Good for general modeling.

3) After much use and what I feel is dull it then gets used for stuff like rescribing panel lines

4) Garbage

Might as well get as much use out of them as possible!
