Detail painting… a question of the whats and whys
Deathgoblin replied to Keef's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Combination of Model Color, Army Painter and Citadel paints for miniatures, Revell Aqua Color acrylics, craft acrylics... -
Stupid thought, but what about RIT dye? I've heard of people using that to tint plastic lenses on glasses.

paint removal tool
Deathgoblin replied to rattle can man's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I use a combination of things to clean up after stripping parts: toothbrush, bamboo skewers, needle files, the tip of an X-Acto knife... There never seems to be one solution. -
Most of it went together okay, but the worst part was the front suspension. It's really odd to put together especially since the steering is supposed to be poseable, especially with the front springs. I just glued it all together. The engine installation is funny, there's no transmission crossmember. It's very obviously an older kit. I've got the Nomad version of it, I'll have to build it sometime as well.

This one came out really well, I think. I took the interior tub apart and made new window cranks and door handles. The colors are Duplicolor Olympic white and Tamiya pearl green.

This is similar to what I do. I step out the doorway and spray, then back inside to thaw.

I love it!

Ran to Hobby Lobby for supplies and while I was there hit the clearance section. Got an AMT 1964 Olds Cutlass 442 reduced to $7.49

What did you see on the road today?
Deathgoblin replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
My wife and I were out for lunch and coffee today, decided to go up around Dublin, OH. There's an area up there called Shawnee Hills, and next to the center with the coffee house was a car lot. Parked out front was a Porsche Carrera, a couple of Bentley Continental GT's (coupe and drophead), a 1971 Mustang Mach 1 convertible and a Jaguar E-Type convertible. Edit: Forgot the Rolls Royce. -
Very nice looking Firebird! Excellent paint!
-
Had this one for a while partially completed, and finally got the foil work done. Not perfect, but I think it came out pretty good.
-
Very nice! I love the color!

More old paint

Subaru BRAT
Deathgoblin replied to Erock's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Awesome job! Got one of these in the stash, might be a soon coming project. -
Love it! Gonna have to get one of these. I've heard the "real" Herbie had an engine out of a Porsche and was surprisingly quick.
-
This is beautiful. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

If I remember correctly in the show, both versions appeared side-by side. Jethro had the hot rod version built and he and Granny ended up in a race. She beat him stupid because she fueled the old truck with moonshine.

Case in point: I recently posted a Porsche 911 Slant Nose that I ended up doing in pink. It was molded in red plastic and I wanted to do it in pearl white, but failed to undercoat it properly. The red bled through the primer and base coat of universal white Duplicolor quickly and it was pretty bright pink after the first coat. I've heard of undercoating with silver first, then primer and paint over top first. Might do that next time.
