[what does everyone do for a living?]

I'm a Culinary Arts student, who was a printer for 30 years until the bottom fell out of the printing industry back in 2010. Since I'm in school, my disposable income is near zero and my kit buying is down to one every 4 or 5 months. Once school is finished in January, and I find a job I'm going to go on a kit binge with my first pay cheque.

I am a narrow web flexographic pressman.

kitbash1, what kind of printing did you do?

[Bad Medicine and Ice T]

Has anyone built either of these recently?

How was the fit?

[PE Sets]

Thanks

[PE Sets]

I've never used them.

Where do you folks buy your sets at?

[Chrome Paint Pen?]

Thanks folks.

[Chrome Paint Pen?]

I use one from DecoColor and it's called Liquid Silver. I found it at Michaels and it works pretty good.

Dose it have a fine tip?

[Chrome Paint Pen?]

Dose anyone make one?

Do you have experience with using it?

I am far too shaky to use a brush and paint and don't want to use the foil out there.

[Snap Togethers]

So I am getting back into modeling and want to do some snap kits.

I like the Batmobile and the Mach 5.

What company make kits that are mostly pre painted and snap together?

Thanks.

[Black Washing Grilles]

That's one way to do it.

You can also use black India ink.

Do you thin that ink or use straight from the bottle?

[Need tips for using "the detailer" washes...]

So you are thinning that Tamiya smoke paint with water right?

[Revell 70 Roadrunner]

Another thing I noticed was that the air cleaner just glues right on top of the carbs.

Isnt there supposed to be something inbetween the two like the lower half of the air cleaner?

[Revell 70 Roadrunner]

Thanks.

I guess I will paint them off white with black caps.

[Revell 70 Roadrunner]

I'm building one and it has 2 resivours in the engine bay on the passenger side fender.

I guess one is for washer fluid but whats the other one?

Has anyone else noticed this?

Well I didnt make it to my lhs this weekend to look at paints.

So it sounds like silver sharpie is the way to go for trim and door handles and stuff like that.

I'll will hold off on the BMF for now.

[70 Challenger]

Nice!

What did you use for the chrome trim?

[First Post]

Thanks for the tips.

I'll just go to my LHS and have a look at the colors that were suggested.

[First Post]

Thanks for the video.

Dose anyone make a paint marker that dose a ok job for chrome?

[First Post]

Thanks for the reply.

Do you happen to know if anybody makes steel in a spray can?

And while I'm at it whats the best way to do small chrome area's like door handles?

[First Post]

Hi folks this my first post.

I am a Mopar guy but will ocasionally build others also.

I'm just getting started in the modeling hobby with my first build being a 70 Roadrunner.

I dont have a airbrush so I will be using spray can's and brush painting the really small stuff.

What color is best for exhaust systems and gas tanks?

Thanks for reading and I look forward to being here with everyone.
