Drove the 150 miles up to Puyallup Washington to do the Goodguys Show. Sunday is wind down day, so a lot of cars that were there Saturday did not show again. There still were quite a few cars and I took a few photos. Also entered some models in the contest and came home with these: Here is a link to the album of photos I took https://www.flickr.com/photos/142581265@N08/albums/72177720300820778

Alpha Models Ferrari GTC4Lusso - Update 8/23/2022
Exotics_Builder replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in WIP: Model Cars
I know, but this color scheme seemed to best fit. Especially when the Bronze I tried came out way too dark brown with the clearcoat. -
Now that we are back from our trip east, I pulled out the El Camino and got back at it. I applied a clear coat, a few Gofer Gold Pinstripe decals for accent and a light covering clear coat over that. Will let cure and then heavy clear coat for sanding polishing. On the interior, I toyed with several two tones and settled on a dark yellow with white. It fits the color scheme. I applied a dark tan carpeting plus painted the dash body color. The dash will be glued to the interior after detailing and fitment. More detail yet to come.

Alpha Models Ferrari GTC4Lusso - Update 8/23/2022
Exotics_Builder replied to Exotics_Builder's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Now that we're back from our trip, I am getting back at this. Stripped and primed before we left. Applied the base coat, Cobra Colors Rosso Fiorano to the body. Applied the base color to the interior, Zero paints Ferrari Beige -
I ordered back on February 21 and there was a backlog due to a large number of orders. Shipped 5/13. Arrived here 5/31 but we were away on a trip, and it sat at the PO until today. He was quite up front about it and I've no problems on previous orders either. You can always message him and get an estimate.

I wipe off with Hardware Store Lacquer Thinner. No immersions and no puddling. Tedious, but does work. Have it back in primer ready to paint. -

Has anyone seen these wheels?

Would definitely want a good air current across the workspace and probably a mask. Vapors from that would not be healthy. I have a tool with multiple tips including something that is like a Number 11 Xacto blade to use in working plastic. That stank when used and seemed hotter than the 97 degrees he referenced. Need to dig it out when back from our trip
