  1. got it last night already in a mold.
  2. cleaned the paint rack threw a lot of paint out got this car from a friend none of the tires i have fit this i had to go old school and make some from a bicycle innertube, im thinking old RX7 colors like the sand beige and dark brown interior. the salad shooters are from a revell vette this thing was dying for headlights reason i bought it was cause of the front end used some 32 ford headlights on it gotta paint the brass clear blue still and put lenses on it
  3. had 2 cars pit out but after fidgeting around with the spoons i found a fix. spray a really rough coat of future then hit it with the clear again heres the result it still has fisheyes but hardly as visible as before this is only a first coat itll be gone in the second
  4. this is actually a rebuild of a old car which for some reason had a reaction develop in the paint 2 years after it was built seeing as it only needed a paintjob i decided to get up and done with. the paint is nailpolish fluorescent orange. the wheels tires and offset are all resin pieces i made.

  9. you wouldnt believe me if i told you lol, its plain ol testors from the bottle.
  10. left the charger as is, after a day in the dehydrator the testors was hard, humbrol not so much. humbrol isnt bad i like their other colors but ive noticed their gloss black kills testors gloss black by leaps and bounds problem is the 6 month drying time(figuratively speaking). i got a dimmer box but i dont use my dremel i use a harbor freight dremel that has no speed control. its purple just a really bad shade thats no where near the cap kind of purple
  11. so far humbrol is failing, monty i used a dremel to stir it
