    Applied the clear to the bodies that got painted the other day.

    Yeah it would be a change from discussion and commentary!! You did mention something about trying to complete a series, so I thought you might be collecting. If I may ask, what stops you from posting a build, you have been a member here for 8 years and ive yet to see a car build (wip or complete) from you. I thought one of the reasons for participaiting here was to discuss and share our builds, and of course also discuss all other aspects of the model car hobby.

    Applied some clear to the Nova Gasser body. Used Mr Color GX-100 Super Clear III. Thinned 1:1.5 with MLT, sprayed through a Iwata HP-TH with the fan cap @ 32psi Always the way, spoon comes out slick. Bit of peel on the body, need to wait and see how much it shrinks back. More than likely will have to wet sand and polish. Either way the GX-100 is a high gloss clear thats for sure. 2 medium wet coats, 1 heavy wet coat. Here is a minute of your life you will never get back. Tried to show the colour a bit better. Also got the interior finished

    So is this for the collection or are you actually going to build something for a change LOL!

    Figured I have a couple kits of the Liberty Walk Huracan in the stash, so decided to get the stock version. Had no idea the kit comes with 4 sets of wheels, so that was a bonus to me.

    Used this black. Was going to use XF-1 flat black, but used that for the carpet. Also thought of using TS-6 but thats not flat enough. So Nato it was for something different.

    Started assembly of the interior, once the clear is dry on the dash I can finish it.

    Now that I have dialed in using the airbrush to apply the colour shift pearls I can start one of these builds.
  11. Cool Hand
    Adjusted the front wheel postion on the Mercury Comet, moved forward 1mm. Now thats sorted I can progress with the build again.

    This one on the Nova. This one on the 4dr Nissan Skyline. And this one on the LB Works Laurel.

    Im not a Gasser fan at all either, but this Moebius kit is way cool and alot of fun to build. The engine is the best feature and what got me interested in the kit. Yes mate, Nova is colour shift. Edited the post and added some pics to show what colour is on each build. Hard to capture the true effect in pics.

    Applied some colour coats to a few builds tonight. Ken Mary works 4dr. Laurel Works. Nova Gasser.
  15. Cool Hand
    Colour shift paint day today, well actually all done tonight.

    Got it to the roller stage. Stance turned out pretty good I think. Very happy with the way this kit fits together. Id say it's going to become my favourite kit ive ever built. Instruction sheet leaves you guessing in some area's, but Tim Boyd's build up of the test shot has been helpful when not sure about some of the assembly.

    Well shows I didnt suss out the front end enough at the time of the idea, the front axle cant go above the leaf springs due to the engine cross member. But all good worked out another way to lower the front a bit. Thankfully the axle blocks on the rear worked out good. Cut of the stub axles and reposition. Oob stub axle location. Cut of a pinned with brass rod. Drilled new location hole for the pins. Stub axle mounted in new postion, should be a noticable difference from oob stance . Engine pretty much complete. Hopefully it will be a roller by the end of tonight.

    Diamond burrs arent super coarse. If rough its easy enough to smooth out the hole by brushing on some Tamiya extra thin.
  19. Cool Hand
    A diamond coated ball burr would be the go. Quick and easy to achieve the effect. There is a cheap generic brand set out there. Comes with 5 ball end burr's.

    Started to putting the Gasser engine together. Few touch ups and paint detail to do here and there. Base coated the body with Gaia Notes and shot it through the Meng .3mm fan cap @32psi. Couldnt resist and had to do a mock up. Has slight micro peel, but all good its smooth enough and its just as base coat anyways.
  21. Cool Hand
    Excellent design work. Turned out way cool. Surprised you didnt print a chain.
  22. Cool Hand
    I use cheap genreal purpose or multi purpose thinner from the Auto parts store for cleaning up of Tamiya lacquer based paints from the brush and airbrush. I recycle the 10ml jars fill with the thinner for brush wash out and also put thinner in a squirty bottle for flushing the Airbrush
  23. Cool Hand
    Airbrushed a black base coat on the Laurel. Painted the Gasser wheels.

    Bit of paint work done on some of the Nova Gasser parts, applied Alclad chrome to most parts. Applied Alclad polished aluminium to the heads, blower manifold and pulleys also the magneto. Custom mix of Tamiya TS paints for the orange on the engine block. Very happy how the headers turned out.
