One thing in modeling is when you find something that worjs then stick with that method. The only caveat is with painting. Testing is necessary. Paint formulas change and plastics change and so there are no guarantees that something that worked before will work tomorrow. Testing paint on kit sprue is the best way to test compatibility.

Lots of good info here. In this thread by peopke who know what they are talking about. Painting is an art. Rattle cans are the best way to start. Then move on to an airbrush if you want to do more advanced techniques. With airbryshes there is so nu c h mire to master. Paint to thinner ratios, which size nozzle to use depending on, what psi to use. Rattle allow you to focus on just getting the paint applied evenly and without runs. As others have said its all practice, , practice,practice.

Wow. Loving the eV bike and the wagon.

Wow. Nice work. Super clean execution. Great photos documenting the work.

Coming along nicely.

The rocket is another meaningless metric like our new like button. Everyone has a rocket. Part of the everyone is a winner mentaility. Wish they would spend the time improving the edit feature.

There is a cost for the tooling because it was purchased from the previous owners. They have to get a return on that investment. Second the older kit sales help pay for newer tooling and other product project. For example round 2 and the chevy nova station wagon.

It is true that the kit prices ate higher than just cost of inflation. However inflation is not the only factor that needs ti be considered. The production volumes are tremendously different. There are fixed cost that occur regardless of the volumes produced. If you can make 1000 units vs 100 the cost is going to be kess per unit. Licensing is another factor. Licensing costs are much higher today. Again higher cost per unit.

Just looked to see if a way to filter out topics like off topic and still no option. We really need a way to filter because of the proliferation of silly games and and the endless celebrity obits. I'm sure I'm not the only person that comes for the modeling portion and doesn't want to wade through the posts to find what I want.

Thanks in advance.

Wow. Shades of Roth. Nicely done. Great concept. Splendid execution.

I agree. Don't waste your time worrying about building it the "right way" according to what somebody else thinks . Do what pleases you and how you want it.

How about a picture 8f what's in tye kits.

Great looking show rod. Nicely done.

Interesting idea. Nicely done.

Cool. Nicely done. Interesting concept.

I agree 100%. Models are for building and there is no wrong way to do that. Do it the way you want too and not by someone else's standard.

Well that's an improvement the last printer used monks do each page.

I did a search on ads covering content and its an issue that been around for a couple of years. One possibility is when an image format is misread such as mixing portrait and landscape formated images. There can also be other factors as well.

The warning label on microwave popcorn say it all. Contents are hot. Duh you typically put items in a microwave to heat them up!! Doubt your going to get frostbite.

Very impressive. Nicely done.

Absolutely stunning work.

I like the hood sides you've chosen, they look right for a high tech car. Sorry to hear you've had problems with consistent color but white can be influenced by what its covering. Tamiya white can be slightly translucent. Curious to see how you solve the problem.

Nicely done. Flawless. Stunning custom. Great choice in color. I also would like to see your version of a 49 merc.
