all of the above ,, I'm a hobby supply hoarder and have to try everything. I've use a lot of proweld but after trying tamiya extra thin I like it better gives a tiny bit more working time.just right. I don't know how it can be any weaker than other solvent glues since it makes a weld bead if you squeeze the parts together.

lol I was thinking the Sam Walton 79 f-150 but it looks like walmart actually sold a 1/24 model of it there's the uber-famous casey anthony sunfire ,, but I don't want to think about that at all

wow no one has mentioned 'Saving Private Ryan' !!! they spent half the budget on the opening !!!..lol you couldn't get more real and in the water with them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZgKo46X8CI

it works fine on curves and cylinders just as any masking material or tape does, just not too well on compound curves like a sphere. it's also easily stretched out of shape so it is meant to be scored in place. it takes gentle handling to be cut than applied

ditto with Batzilla that Auto air has to be be cleared , no way around it..The spincxter is looking great so far !

He's going for a 70's vibe ,and rwl is a big part of that

same here tho I have been guilty on occasion of missing something already asked/said if the topic starts to get drawn out over time

John type "dodge demon decal" into google images... several sizes come up good image find Evil .... It has enough resolution I can shrink it down pretty small without going blurry.

.if your scanning a decal sheet to size photoshop is ok If the image has to be resized in any way I would highly recommend a vector based drawing program. so you can size the images to the model without them going blurry/jagged. Photoshop aint all that..it's raster.plus they all have the same learning curve anyway all the decal guys(,kieth marks, mike's, myself and many others that draw a lot) use corel or illustrator (inkscape is open source--free) photoshop doesn't cut it for that type of images...different beast.

Doing research for my build I have to give credit ,,the only 70 I've seen so far on here, where the engine bay/body color/cowl is painted correctly.. good job DD

According to Testors,it called "one coat" because it's designed to not need a primer or clear coat ... not because it's supposed to go actually on in one pass

I use photobucket , unlimited full usage for life. got in at the right time I guess. I don't use half the bells and whistles tho. I've never had a problem, lost pics ,or anything like that

not sure I follow, your seeing scratches in the paint coat after sanding down to 12,000 grit?

great stuff Batzilla , enjoying the progress !will it be done in time for Halloween ? hehehe I like the coffin/hearse type vehicles . I spoke to the guy at Round 2 last week and he told me the Barnabus van comes out in December .. the one with the little coffin trailer. I can't wait to get one...or 2

I'm going to get mine back out and practice with it ,, the right angle may be the key I'm missing

is there a simple trick to the touch n flow I'm missing? ...I could never gain control of mine too much "flow"...lol. I always ended up making a mess.

nice !!....... Street Rascals ..I like that

darn,, I like the colors ..lol

any of the AMT "Lil" series are toy-like

sounds like a plan Donn , thanks

and if you make a mistake, alcohol removes sharpie

If at Hobby Lobby , check the clearence section first ,, they had a bunch of the beading wire marked way down last time I checked. the braided hose type

I used the duplicolor orange high heat engine enamel before ,, ,, it came out beautiful. It has ceramic in it, but sprays like a dream ,very glossy. I did spray duplicolor primer first http://www.duplicolo...ts/enginePaint/

I found one of my guitar strings fit perfect , just bent the end to act as a handle, and the cap still snaps over it. I just leave it in between use
