Yep you guessed, wet look, well I started with it, but ran out so had to use MM ultra clear lacquer , so its both really

Haha, yea rollin in my 5.0, go for it!, but you have to listen to the song why you build it

Well I cant blame you for wanting to save the 5.0, I hate low riders too, although they do tend to have some very cool paint jobs , what movie car are you building ?

Why a curbside?

Mike, you did a great job, very nice. So what are you going to work on next?

I do one day want to use trans kits, just it takes a big bite out of the hobby fund, I would love to do what you are with the GTR and use a trans kits, I have found a few that I really like. I like the stock wheels on the GTR, but if you are using a trans kit, it would be better with different wheels, and the wheels and tires that come with kit are to big. I dont think the GTR trans kits are going to go away for awhile, but I could be wrong I clear coated the Aston, but I need to hit a few areas again, so I will post pics after I do that.

I third using bleach, it takes less then an hour to remove it, well it depends on the chrome plating

I was having problems falling asleep, I guess if I stop thinking about models that might help Getting the Camaro painted, I started to apply the mist coats from the can, then said to myself, use your A/B dummy, so I decanted the paint, and did the rest from the A/B, it needs a few coats, some areas not smooth and have some debris in spots. But I am getting better at using the A/B Paint is Testors one coat lacquer star spangled blue
-
Very nice. good job
-
The P/E parts are good, I am just not a fan of using them, I only use some of them. There are lot trans kits for the GTR, and I thought I about getting one, but they all cost more then the kit does. If you do get a P/E set, make sure its for Tamiya Here is the body with a few more coats of paint, the body has not been clear coated yet
-
I would love do cars for the UK version, I am going to have to look at the shows and then see what cars are in kit form. While I was trying to fall asleep last night, I was thinking of how I could do a diorama with the cars
-
What GTR kit did you get?
-
If they dont make to Desert Scale, I will bring them to the club meeting
-
They go one great, I can not screw up paint jobs when I use Model Master lacquers or the one coats, I would try them out. Now on the other hand, you give me a can of enamel , I will give you a paint bomb. But I am getting good results using enamels with the air brush thinned with lacquer thinner.

That is Testor's one coat lacquer Graphite dust, I normally dont use them. Here is the chassis all finshed

Facebook affects
martinfan5 replied to The Modeling Hermit's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I think I am on four different model forums, and the activity was slow on them, and now some are what seems to be like a ghost town lately, I really think that its the season's changing that has as slowed things down on here ,and the other forums. As for FB, I dont really care to play all the games that are on there, so other then that, that does not leave much to do other then read what everyone is posting. I check in about I would say once a day. -
