And watching a handful of fellow forum regulars drive off enthusiastic and aspiring modelers for non modeling reasons.
I've learned there's a finite photo height allowed here so if you stack them like that into a tall photo, it will scale down to the height limit. We'll probably see them better if you can break it down more. Though 5 photos are the limit you can add 5 more photos by replying (with photos) to your own post.
Flush with the body might make more aero sense Casey, but it would almost defeat the purpose of using the Mustang scoop. I think your instincts are correct the way you have it, at least in terms of the coolness factor. It adds to the allure.
Super glue and styrene glue both have roles in model building. I typically use three or four glues per project because they each excel at different needs. Super glue, styrene glue, epoxy glue, and white glue are my weapons of choice and I'm still exploring more.
I'm pretty impressed with the painting that's been shown here so far. All you guys are giving good care to color choices, finishes and crisp two toning. Looking forward to more.
If there was no primer and you lacquered directly onto the plastic, the paint has etched into the plastic and you won't have 100-percent success. If that's the case, for trouble spots you might do as well to sand on it with fine grit.
Nice concept Ken. Very forward thinking and best of all, it's original. Since I'm pretty sure there's still dust in Utopia, it fits in good. I like the drive by wire idea. Besides, if the young lady comes with it, then yeah, we're in Utopia.
This may be what you're referring to Thom. It's the article I wrote regarding a sprue tree from the Lindberg Dodge 330. The build quality is so-so but the idea's pretty cool.
This is how the tree looks after all the parts are off.
If you enclose the risers and add axles, you can build it up almost any way you want. I patterned this after a trailer at a local rental yard.
And this is the car the sprue tree comes from with all the pieces together.
