What type of putty are you using? Nice work!

I found out after 15 years of Cat ownership that I'm allergic to cats. And dogs. That being said, I'm going to Kohl's to buy some slacks.

I really like the pin idea. I've never seen that before..can't wait to try it.

Looking forward to this!

I have had great success with Rustoleum, especially their clear.

Subscribed!

Microset brushed on before decal application cures this. You can also brush some on now and lightly brush the edges down. Microsol will also soften the edges allowing the decal to sit properly, but don't touch the decal after.

Beautiful! I have the same kit waiting to be built and now I.cannot wait!

Henry...LOL.

Lovely!

Warped body? Are you referring to behind the front tires? If so, that is supposed to warp inward like that.

Wow...talk about veering off course. Anyhow, after realzing that I lost a SECOND car, I now thought something was up. I started looking through my boxes and had forgotten I put them in a storage box until show time!!!

If you have a smartphone, download a translator. Most will allow you to take a picture which allows the app to translate the text to English. But keep in mind, translating Japanese to English sometimes gives results that make absolutely no sense.

I don't know what you guys have been inhaling, but Squadron putty and ESPECIALLY CA are very toxic and have a strong odor.

Ive never used milliput...how does it differ from tamiya or others? Is it less toxic?

Any pictures of parts or cars made? I would like to see the quality.

Thin with their thinner, water, Windex, alcohol,etc. It airbrushes very nicely.

So I finished the below pictured car about a week ago. It is a car that really turned out nice and I was proud of. I sat it on a shelf in my workshop, and don't recall moving it. Somehow, this car is gone. I asked my 3 year old daughter if she knew where it was. She said she threw it away, the dumpster took it, and Ill never see it again. I almost believed her. But there's absolutely no way she could reach this shelf. Not possible. The only other possibility is maybe I put it back in the box (which I threw away). But wouldn't I feel a car knocking around? So the car is gone. Someone might have thrown it away. Ill never know who though. Rats.

I would just buy another type of glue. I use the old fashioned Testors, Tamiya Extra Thin, superglue, CA, and Mr. Hobby. There really isn't one glue that does it all IMO.

Looks good Fred. Could you show us in pics your wheel etch making progress?

Beeeeutiful my friend!

The multi piece bodies are indeed pure evil. Nice done though!

LIKE!

Look forward this!

I think he's referring to the Phillips head screws in the engine area..at first glance they do appear to be torx head.
