That would be awesome as I've been trying to get a resin '60 El-Camino body for awhile. Bandit Resins did offer one, but the mold is shot and it's been taking awhile to make a new one.
A nice car show next Sunday on the 25th in downtown Grayslake, Illinois. I was at that show in '09 and lookin' forward to it next weekend. Of course, bring your camera or iPhone to take reference photos for future builds you might want to do.
Hello Andrew and welcome. Be SURE to attend AMG's Milwaukee NNL about mid April of next year. This year we had 900+ models on the table, and you get to mingle with lots of nice folks from Wisconsin and neighboring states who love model cars & trucks.
Test spray on a spoon? Never, I just shoot from the hip and whatever comes out is it. Testing is way to complicated, just like with air brushes, you gotta have the right pressure, the right mix, gotta clean it right, etc.. EASY is the way for me.
I use the Testors products often and lately I've been using Tamiya white primer as it goes on smoothly and thin so as not to hide all the details on the body. I only use grey primer if I'm painting the body silver or black, otherwise the grey changes the shade of the color coat, whereas white primer won't.
Awesome 1:1 car show today at Palmen Dodge in Kenosha today with LOTS of great lookin' cars, free food, live band, and the Telstar "fuel dragster" Racing Team displayed their beautiful dragster and semi tractor & trailer rig. Of course they did start up that Hemi and the nitro fumes filled the surrounding air. What a sweet smell. I did get lots of pics which I haven't uploaded as yet. I will be lookin' forward to attending this show next year also.
The S.L.A.M. club (Southern Lakes Auto Modelers) had their monthly meeting tonight in Delavan, Wisconsin and it is always a good time. Tonight was swap meet night and several members brought kits to sell. The monthly meetings consist of a "build & bull" session with most members participating in the "bull session," however some members do build at the meetings as well.
