The best remedy is to use a good sealer to prevent problems with colored plastic. That is why sealer was created. I've seen some say silver paint but it was pointed out that that may cause issues if you need to mask. Using the right product reduces the potential for issues down the road.

What is the greatest secret in the universe?

Glad you found the issue. It is absolutely necessary to take the time to test fit the pieces of an older or any kit before painting the parts. Nothing is more frustrating that finding this type of problem late in a build.

Good points Dan.

I would first get the fit of the interior tub to fit good. Then shim the dash so it fits well.

Fits and starts describes how I often work on some projects.

Nice work on the floor mats.

What a great project.

For the rounded edges I would suggest Evergreen quarter round. It come in several sizes and I would suggest matching it to the thickness of the plastic you use for the body.

Nicely done. Came out great.

Nicely done. You did a very nice job on a difficult kit. The multi piece body definitely made the build more challenging .

Nicely done.

The best rule of thumb is buy what you like, not becuase it might be valuable. First off if they tell you something is collectible it isn't. Something is only worth what someone else is willing to pay.

Nicely done. Great mix of kit bashing , scratchbuilding, and 3d printing. A great paint job.

There was an issue of car craft magazine that featured pictures of the Uncertain T. I will have to dig it out to get the year.

Thanks for giving us an update. Looking forward to seeing more progress when you have the time.

We see ads for clothing that are inappropriate for the site. No t sure how those images could be filter. Besides browsing history subjects on the site also used to providing selections for ad content.

Love it. Came out nice.

Exactly. And for someone who can afford to own the documented car spending the money for the model wouldn't be a big deal.

Exactly and even if the kit was reissued the collectors would still want the original.

I find it amazing that the 4 top models survived all these years. So many models were lost from time. In fact the museum had significant models recreated. It's interesting to view the trends from the past and the techniques of the past. Nice job on the restoration Tim. Thanks for the album of pictures from the museum. Preserving the past is important.

Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to do or die.

I agree. I also doubt they are making very little from all the effort. In addition they are tying up there money till they can be sold.

Very informative. Given all the flaws i find it amazing the submersible didn't fail sooner given all the issues.
