    This is another instance where the benefit of an airbrush comes in. Ever since I started shooting metallics and most any paint,really,I have been adding clear to the color somewhere in the painting process.

    Funny. All the original poster asked was is it rare.

    The trouble I have with this is do you count only regular production,or just the rarest of them all.Some "kits" were very limited and basically just promotional items for a company or cause. That 1911 Chevy comes to mind.

    Metal rulers and single edge razor blades will work. You can score thin aluminum and cut it.You may have to score it several times.

    You should store that respirator in a plastic bag,or better yet an airtight container (tupperware) when not in use.

    "How is it possible to be a lurker and a high post count poster at the same time? " split personalities?

    Why not? a model won GSL best of show years ago without being painted. The plastic was polished and a lot of people were shocked and awed.(what emoticon displays shock and awe?)

    "It doesn't. no where does it say that you cannot bid for someone else and ship it to them. I do it all the time, it's called Christmas shopping." :D GOOD ONE :D

    Lay in some strips of plastic rod or thin wire. Attach it with white glue or clear acrylic,then lay the masking over it.

    WOW! That is just too nice.

    A very soft(makeup?) brush?

    I bought one of those tri-level rolling tool boxes from Harbor freight when I moved to a Mobile Home (see Cletus I TOLD you he was trailer trash) here in AZ. Just don't have the room I had in Illinois.

    Dannos's right about Greg Wann . the quality of his resin casting has to be seen,but his clear casting is incredible. He could be casting 24/7 in clear just to replace all the busted up clear shots in Monogram 1/8th scale kits.

    You must be a young'un Most of us old timers remember this as a curbside from the original release back inna day

    The gray primer is a lacquer. I haven't used any of the others.

    And when you use wet or dry paper(even the higher number cloths) soak them for a few minutes before starting to sand.

    After seeing what a couple of Jo-Han 1963 Dodges went for on ebay,how about one of those? Also I like some of the weider ones like a Stout Scrarab?(sp) or the McQuay-norris speedster with trrailer.

    For getting the proper "dish" either in or out look at drawer pull knobs and some of the craft turnings.
  24. Mike Kucaba
    I thought that was called Junk.
