Kit Basher

I got the fuel injected version from Kitchen Table Resins several years ago. No idea if it's still available. The transmission from the Lindberg "Off Road 4 x 4 F 150" is a perfect match for the 5 speed in my '90 F 150.

Good one, Bill! I suspect that cats feel that way about humans fairly often.

Long time forum member and all round great guy Harry P was the master of Pocher kits. Here is a link to his Bugatti 50T: If that thread doesn't have what you need, search for some of his other topics. His WIPs give a lot of great info about working with Pocher.

Like Steve and Brian, I added rubber. Two little pieces of heat shrink tubing shrunk onto the tips.

Thanks, Carl!

Thanks, Rich! Thanks, Chuck! I'm not sure a lot of folks would want to steal this car anyway, it's not exactly Eleanor.? Thanks, Bill! Thanks, Bruce!

Wow! Two different guys with red '60 Valiant 3 speeds. That resin kit looks exactly like the one I built, except for the RHD, and mine was plastic. FWIW, I found it on the 'bay for way less than 100 bucks, in pretty good shape. Never painted, glass in pretty good shape, no parts missing. It did need re-chroming (SpazStix). If you keep looking, there may be another one.

Do you expect us to believe actual physical evidence? I saw on the internet that masking tape always works just fine, so you must be wrong. (sarcasm) Thanks for doing this, Kurt. I would never have used tape for the applications you mentioned, but hopefully you'll save somebody some grief. Now you can clean your window!?

Thanks, Chris! Thanks, David! This is just a basic screw bottom kit, but I think it came out OK. Your friend and my buddy, are you sure we're not talking about the same guy? How many can there be??

Very nice! Your diorama skills are awesome too.

Hey, you're only supposed to post model cars on here! Seriously, I scrolled thru several pictures waiting for a pic of the model, thinking I was seeing a 1:1. Beautifully done and great photography!

Thanks Glen, you've got the early '60s lingo down.? Thanks, Scott!

This one is for a buddy for Christmas. His story is that he took a date to the drag races in this car. As he was getting ready to leave after the races, the shifter broke off. Fortunately, he had some buddies who were racing, and one loaned him some vise grips so he could get home. He says he never dated that girl again. He also said the chrome lug nuts made him really cool in Iowa in the early '60s. Many thanks to "MisterNNL" who provided the vise grips. Thanks, Tom! Is this a great forum or what? P.S. Sorry about the six lug wheels, they were the only ones I had that fit the tires. They came from the Revell '64 Fairlane kit. What's up with that?

Farmers! PFFFFT! They're just a drag on the economy. All they do is pollute the air with all that diesel they burn! Everybody knows that food comes from the grocery store. (Sarcasm)

That is an excellent idea! There is definitely a filter on the intake side, and who knows what's in the water trap on the output side. Thanks!

So I got the fur, and other assorted scuzz, out of the brush. Works much better. Thanks, guys!

This is sort of my general purpose brush, so it shoots most everything. Flats, solids, metallics, whatever. Mostly enamels and some lacquers tho. I have another brush I use for water based stuff. I'm getting a lot of old paint out of it. Hopefully, when I'm done scrubbing, I'll give it a shot of compressed air and that will get rid of the fur too.

LOL!

It's in the air passage, in the main body of the brush. I can see it where I took out the trigger and the air valve. I don't think it's from pipe cleaners. It looks like cat fur. The cat is not allowed in the hobby room, but his fur seems to be everywhere, so I suppose it's possible. Thanks for your responses, guys.

I'm giving my Badger 200 a thorough cleaning. I've got it completely apart, and I can see what looks like hair or fur inside the body. Is that supposed to be there, some kind of packing or something, or do I need to get it out of there? Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Anthony! Actually, the only masking I did for the camo was to separate it from the black. I used Tamiya "tape for curves" for that. For the camo itself, I used my airbrush, set to a fine line, to separate the colors. It was just done freehand, taking care to point the airbrush into the color I was applying. Then I could open up the airbrush and fill in the large areas. The camo paint is all Model Master.

Thanks, Carl! Thanks, Gerald! Looks great in all black. That is a lot of ordnance.

Thanks, Rob! Thanks, MIke! Thanks, Jeff!

Thanks, Perry!
