  1. I don't know what is different, but it works! Sometimes, I'll experience a bit of breakage, but not a lot (usually on sharp bends). Anything from hand bending to using a bending tool from my slot car days.
  2. I've had great success using the styrene rod sold from the guy on eBay when making exhaust and headers.
  3. Thanks, as an experiment, I found this chrome spray at Michael's. Looks ok, like many others, but I wouldn't recommend it.
  4. Here's the bed in primer and wood floor finished. Notice the cutout/recessed area at the top of the bed, as is in a 1:1. I still need to add the supports under the bedrail, cut and install the metal strips.
  5. I could be wrong, but that looks more like heavy fish eye. Something not playing nice together and separating. But I haven't used the enamel yet.
  6. I did a quick search, here's a link to his eBay items, just scroll down to... sellers other items https://www.ebay.com/itm/256141408868?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=609VLjblRAW&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=nnyVb6gkTD2&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
  7. I realize you asked about painting on molded in color, but here's an example from several years ago. I decided to pull out a stalled project because of paint and decal issues. Tamiya paint, no primer, also some sanding.
  8. Yes prime! One, it does help you find imperfections (as mentioned above), two, it puts a barrier between the paint and plastic if you need body work, three, the paint will adhere to the plastic, so if imperfections are present in the paint... stripping becomes challenging. My two cents
  9. This is posted on his website
  10. Great work, thanks for posting. Lots amazing builds! Great to see your girls involved in the hobby!!
  11. Quick update, I looked over the truck bed and decided I didn't like it, so here we go. For starters, I'm changing the bed floor to real wood and adding the rails next, after I made a bit of tooling make them. Also the sides are incorrect, they are not flat, but angle out to the bedside. I scribed them and waited to finish until I got the floor ready. I also added a gas tank and have to reroute the exhaust , that in the next update.
  12. A few items from the Sharon,PA show. Also parts from my friend Ron.
  13. Can anyone identify the year of Mecom Lola T-70 reproduced in the Union kit?
  14. Jim Heller on eBay has a wide variety of racing decals, I have personally not used them yet, but you can check their feedback.
  15. Drive lines are in, cross member had to be recombobulated.
  16. Similar curiosity, I have some ... black chrome BMF.
  17. I know what you mean, I just got an orbital sander yesterday packaged the same way, and looks as bad! To add, the Amazon facility is literally 5-7 minutes from my house.
  18. Something I discovered in a video, but haven't tried yet, is placing the part in the alcohol and not removing it, but scrubbing while in the alcohol. While using these different products as paint strippers , they reactivate the paint which allows it to settle in again or deeper if not removed immediately. So removing from the alcohol bath , it would reset quickly as the alcohol would dissipate quickly. I have a couple Chevy Cruze bodies this happened to. My $.02
  19. Small update, I've been cleaning up the chassis and repainted the block, it needed more contrast. Frame is gun metal metallic, diffs and springs are semi gl black.
  20. Check out....... modeljunkyard.com They have plans to be purchased for this filling station. Bought mine years ago, never did build it... yet!
