...And the hits just keep on comin.'

I've done light weathering, mostly with chalk pastels and have enjoyed the results... But I have a lot of growing to do with paint weathering... I mean, the real Chuck Most/Dr. Cranky kind.

Full Metal Jacket was his big attention getting role, but his role in Boys In Company C I thought was a much more carefully crafted and honest bit of acting that really made an impression on me. Sad news.

That's a great tutorial Pat. Not sure I understand all of it but I'm sure it will all be made clear with a little noodling. Thanks for showing the products too.

A challenging project. Looks like you figured all the angles and they came together pretty well. Great job.

You are a mad scientist Chuck. Since anything different is good, then this qualifies as awesome.

Nice work Tulio, I like it.

Love your commitment to this and you're doing a stellar job. A frame off, 78 LTD restoration . Now there's a new one.

Reminds me of a joke Jay Leno told when I saw him live. He was ragging on the ridiculous prices university students pay for textbooks. "Before a performance I did at (whatever) University, I had the day to kill, so I went to the campus book store. I picked up a book that said 'Latin, 27th edition.' What could be new in LATIN?"

Handsome looking car.

I like these old AMT 32s for their ease of building. There's adequate detail without getting fiddly and they look neat when done. There are some body proportion issues but who cares. Neat rod David.

Sell them on ebay. I'm not kidding, there seems to be collectors of old paint bottles. https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=vintage testors model paint&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

Not a real big fan of this style of Corvette, but I love the kit. I've built two of the chassis and one full kit, with more in the stash. Here is one of my chassis when it was all done, I don't see that piece on it.

Could have fooled me. I think it looks fantastic.

I used Milliput once. Didn't like it. Mine had not separated the way yours has but it was discolored and getting there. Set up rock hard, difficult to sand. Two-part automotive putties have been much friendlier.

His on-camera persona seemed less contrived and put-on than the rest of his reality co-stars. I hope his projects do the same.

Excellent work Wayne. Wow, that BMF!

Even if you plan to replace or reform the glass, I'm still inclined to walk away from a glue bomb with bad glass because it's such a bugger to cut and pry off the model without wrecking something else. Saws are hard to get into the confined areas to cut away. The surrounding plastic is weakened and/or warped by the glue, etc.

Nice work John, you should be proud.

That would be funny... yet entirely plausible.

On this the body was polished with The Treatment wax. Like others have said, the color here was just too pretty to cover with paint.

X2.

KILLER!

True enough. There are some kits out there with so much engine detail in the kit that added detail doesn't add that much more. Some of the super cars come to mind, where wires and brackets are largely hidden anyway. But older AMT kits, (64 Impala, Chevelle, etc.) not so much.
