Latest irrating ads are video ads. Second we are getting tons of clickbait ads for uncensored pictures. The regular ads are bad enough but those uncensored ads are not suitable for the site. I have tried to report them by they keep coming back.

Just love it. Great weathering, color, and concept.

Wish my paint jobs looked like this. But you also have to consider that the factory paint wasn't always perfect.

Yup I agree with the age thing. I'm 69 and frequently find my limitations. When I have that happen I have to remind myself I'm not 18 any more. Always enjoy following this great project. Looking forward to seeing more progress.

I've found set backs can really put a damper on a project. Thats why many modelers have a few stalled projects. I'd say for the most part there are challenges that come up in each project as you have experienced through some of your previous projects. At least this issue is not a paint fiasco. Its does help to have a couple of projects going for problems like this. I'm confident you will overcome this issue. Definitely a cool project.

Love the color and flames. As always your paint is top notch.

I too hope Norm has a speedy recovery.

Love the color. Nice start. The seat belts look great. What what the source for them? I'm surprised you didn't sand the tread on the tires although it looks like you have mounted them so you couldn't do that now.

I agree I wouldn't want someone drinking a beverage in that nice interior. Loving this project.

Great start. Love the color.

One suggestion would be using the sizing for applying leaf to get the foil to stick. Another experiment might be to brush some elmers glue. Just a thought. Not sure of other possible adhesives you could use.

Some good info. Learned a couple of things from the videos. The length of videos was reasonable as they are created to address those that haven't done the process before. Also all the required caveats so people won't injure themselves or damage their property and then complain they weren't warned.

Shouldn't be that baffling. Every product has a schedule and a budgets. 3d printing has a cost of materials and time for the printing , along with time for meetings and reviewing the results. The budget is only going to allocate a fixed amount to be spent for this process for any products. With the current volumes for producing a model kit the budgets are limited.

The paint looks great. Great project.

Unfortunately I don't see that happening. And as you can see from a recent post we still have those questioning Tims' motives and justifying the poor behavior that went on by blaming Tim.

Nice idea but not practical. Although 3d prints help, they carry a cost and can only be done a few times. The goal is to get a product out within a certain budget.

Glad that it was possible for the tooling to be adjusted. I understand the process and that was an above and beyond action. Ideally the previews would be helpful. However when we have the bad behavior that went on with Tim's review I doubt anyone would want to subject themselves to that. Hey they not only burned that bridge they blew it up for good measure. Unfortunately we live in a world that lacks civility and we all pay the price for the actions of the few. We can express our opinions without being obnoxious about it.

First off it depends on the area. In Oroville the majority of the jobs are minimum wage. Second its not just fast food places that get paid minimum wage. Health care workers that take care of the elderly don't get more than minimum wage. In addition to that a lot of minimum wage jobs are less than 40 hours a week. Compound that with a lack of affordable housing.

Imp3ess7ve work. Coming along nicely.

I doubt those individuals will. It was justified behavior in their minds. In addition they owe Tim Boyd a huge apology also. Doubt that will happen either.

But Steve he is working at his typical pace to produce and post those pictures. At this point in time he is requesting information from the manufacturer of his camera for the optimal conditions for taking pictures with his camera. He will have to wait to get those optimal conditions. Then he will need to contact his computer provider for the ideal way to transfer said pictures to this site. I'm sure someday will will see those pictures.

Love it. Nicely d8ne.

Look temperature and humidity and consistency are important and can be quantified. However the majority of painting success is technique. That is something that can't be quantified it has to be learned. The only way to develop technique is hands on experience. Start painting. Otherwise you are wasting your time.

The biggest cause of things degrading is the over reliance on technology. For example thinking that spell check will find all your eerors. If you type the wrong word and its spelled correctly you aren't going to get an error. Also studies using MRIs have shown that phone usage is changing the way the brain works. If you don't use a skill then you will lose the ability to use it. Would you be call someone without the aid of speed dial. Do you even know their numbers. How many people know how to read a paper map?

This answer says it all. The weight of the paint is irrelevant. The consistency is the most important thing. It is a volume based process. To determine what consistency rhat works best for you you must experiment. Part of experimentation is failure. From that failure you gather data to find what works It is necessary to expend time and materials to gain the knowledge of what works. That process is not a waste of time and resources. Consider the fact that Edison failed numerous times before creating a viable light bulb. We'd still be using candles for lighting if he wasn't persistent You have all the information you need and the next step is to spray some paint!!! Get back to us when you've done that. Nothing more to be said.
