  1. Get your self a hobby lobby coupon and pick one up, I got one with 5 bits for a little over $7, I think they sell the testors pin vise
  2. I think I will try that, will practice first on a test body
  3. Thanks guys, I am not 100% set on the wheels either, but its what I had that I could work with at the moment, I am looking for different wheels/tires for it.
  4. Very nice and shiny, I like it, great job Virgil
  5. Ok , I will come up with something, whats best way to go about doing them, should I wait tell the body is gas out, then add the stripes, or should clear, then add , then clear again, whats the best way to go about it. I have always used decals
  6. Yes a bang head emoticon is needed
  7. Here is the second build I did for this months club theme, Revells 71 Cuda Nash Bridges kit, OOB.
  8. Here is Revell Ferrari 360 spider I did for this months club theme, convertibles, built OOB , the only thing I changed was the wheels/tires, I use the wheels and tires from the fujimi 360 kit.
  9. Here is a 67 Eleanor resin body I got from Gregg Wann, this was the first he did for me, but it didnt come out very good, so he cast me a second one, and gave this one as well. So I could not let it go to waste, so this is what I did with it. I put a NASCAR ford engine in it, I used wheels from the 07 Gt500 shelby kit, tires are pegasus. This was just a fun build, and I did not have a sharp #11 blade so it made doing the BMF a pain. I also took the grill from the donor kit body and the paint is MM GTS blue pearl with future as a clear coat
  10. Yes I going to to do the stripes , I wanted to see how it would look before I did anything else. Now whats the best way to do the stripes? how wide are they?
  11. If you have a spare test body, I try and spray it on without any primer and see if it happens
  12. I painted eleanor, I used MM bright platinum silver, here are the pics, first one without the flash, second one with flash, I used a black base coat, what do you guys think?, it hasnet been cleared and I put one wet coat down.
  13. I think what I will do is do a write up in the how to section
  14. I will show you how, give me a few days
  15. here you go http://scenesunlimited.homestead.com/Wheels.html or his ebay listing http://www.ebay.com/itm/RESIN-1-25-MOPAR-STEEL-WHEELS-/160659765389?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256811788d
  16. Here it is with some steelies, I think it looks so much better
  17. Frist time posting in here, and I know its sunday, but this is what is or will be rotating thru my workbench First up is a Nissan R35 Vspec, and a Skyline R34 Vspec A non eleanor eleanor resin body, and a 68 RR with a v10 Then its revells 2010 camaro, and a doing a newer eleanor stang Then working a welly diecast tahoe and getting NASCAR bodys for the 2012 season, waiting on the decals to be made
  18. Thats what I have started using, I like the look of it
  19. BMW owners are the worse I think, they feel like they are the only ones that matter on the roads and no one should be in their way.
  20. I get the tahoes from Jeff at policecarmodels.com, he sells them cheaper on ebay, he goes by copcarcollector
  21. Ok my friend, the CBP's are not as fun with out you, I will have to watch that 96 hour build you are going to do if its on the board I am thinking of
  22. Virgil, I have been thinking about getting one of these kits, what scale is it, it looks bigger the 24/25th, but could just the the pic
  23. Steve, I will take that as a compliment I guess
