Great idea and cool story. Glad to see you back building.

Bill was helping. Try googling malcom gasser versus malco gasser. It works a lot better when you type in the right thing.

Great start.

Cool.

Nice job on the photography.

Cool this are the little touchs that I like about you dioramas

Chris long term projects can test your patience. It takes a lot to do a project that is a replica, you have to match something rather than saying that is what I intended to do. You will finish. maybe you need to do a quick out of the box build to allow you to get something done quickly. Just make sure it stays an out of the box build.

Like the colors. Nice to see on done as a street rod.

Great job of scratchbuilding. Love it. Its great to see something different that could be pure imagination that turns out to be based on fact.

Isn't management wonderful(Not ). At least you weren't subscribing to rod and custom, the powers to be decided that some subcribers should receive road and track in its place.

Cool. Where did you get all the parts?

I agree all you need to do is add a spacer.

Looking good always fun to watch your projects come together.

Yes I mask, let dry and then spray the parts. I usually just pop it off with the tip of a number 11 blade.

I also use it for a mask for attachment points such as locating pins to minimize handling painted parts.

Nice job. Looks better with the heavier frame.

Looking good.

Nice job on matching the blower. Its getting there a piece at a time.

Looking good . Nice job on the scratchbuilt pieces.

Looking good.

Love the grill.

Just do another mist and then a wetter coat.

A crazy thought just came across my mind. For some of his big scale models Randy Derr has had laser etching done for his tire tread. I wonder if the blower could have the logo laser etched. Not sure if it would work on resin. Just a thought.

I'd just get the bare areas covered. I'd say a heavier trying to do a thin might cause orange peal. Might have to lightly sand again. In my mind the duplicolor clear would be best. I'm not crazy about mixing paint types. The one shot will work but beware that it is alcohol based and you want the lacquer to outgas so there won't be solvent trapped when you shoot the one shot . If you smell the body and it really smells strong then the paint hasn't dried enough. lacquer dries from the outside in whereas enamel dries insde out.

Nice job. Would you post before and after for comparison?
