hmmmm maybe if it was a convertible. Joe.

That is a great technique tip. Although I have worked with resin pieces for years as a plane builder, i never marked the piece, just eye balled it. Thanks, Joe.

I use Scalefinish paint whenever i can. It comes in 2 ounce bottles and i never come close to using half. I just noticed that for the 1/12 Shelby GT500 he sells the colors in 4 oz bottles!!! Am i going to need that much for 1/12??? Since i only paint factory colors, it means i have a ton of unused paint because i am not building more than one of each of my dream cars. Except Ferraris in which case i could by Corso Rossa by the Quart. I would happily pass on my unused paint to others if the USPS would allow me to mail it. Joe.

This what i am going to try first. Thanks, Joe.

The internet and forums like this. I dont have time to go to club meetings. The forums are my clubs. Joe.

Located just west of Chicago is La Grange Hobby which is my LHS! Great people and good selection in trains, plastic and remote control and paint. The best part is the owner will special order anything available for you. Joe.

Nice job! Joe.

Very very cool Joe

Casey: It eas applied over Tamiya gold lacquer (spray can). Which was applied over 2 coats of primer. There is inly one fisheye. Joe.

I am using Scalefinish gloss acrylic enamel (metallic) Thanks, Joe.

Guys thank you for the tips. I may rethink the type of wax i use to avoid the problem Don citeD? As usual, you all come through. Joe.

Thanks Brett. If the Tricolore is not a decal option maybe there will be another version released with them. It looks like i will have to buy one and hold on to it to see!!! Joe.

Thanks GeeBee. HO there are pros and cos on wax. I use it to enhance the finish not protect it. Perhaps if i got that mirror finish i would not need it. thanks guys, Joe.

I have a '58 Corvette that is ready for chrome. Do I wax before or after I apply the Bare Metal Foil?? Thanks for any help. Joe.

Thanks Dan. I forgot he had that section. Joe.

I just sprayed a test piece at about 12lbs and i got a rough finish. It wasn't until I got it real wet that smoothed out. Do ihave pressure wrong? Any other tips? Thanks for any help, Joe.

Brett: Any timing known for the Ducati and whether or not it will include the Tricolore decals?? Joe.

Heller showed some 1/8 motorcycles, including a Honda 750 single cam with four into four exhaust. Joe.

Great build. I applaud your effort to correct issues as they arise. Mom always said if you are going to take the time to do it, do it the best you can... Joe.

Great craftsmanship! Joe.

thanks Randy.

Nicely molded wheels and spinners

Super build. Very inspiring! I look forward to seeing more of your builds. Joe.

Testors, health care, and college tuition all from some other planet where salaries go up BEFORE costs.

Thanks Casey. I just mocked it up to see if i can get the chassis under it with the valance attaced and i can so your tip will work fine. What chin spoiler? What part is missing?
