My love of this hobby is being creative, I have yet to build anything without hacking it up. The problem I have is once it's taken shape, I've somewhat achieved my goal of making it my creation. I also have this compulsion of wanting poseable front wheels and all the doors, hood, and trunk should open. I have so many models that I've completed the body mods, made or modified the frame and interior to fit. And then I start getting bored. I also have a very short attention span. I wish I had more of an urge to complete my projects, but many times I see a kit or body out of the corner of my eye and an idea pops into my head and off I go with a new project. Hey look something shiny, I gotta go.

That's not a 2 stage system. A base, tint or pearl coat, and clear is a 3 stage system, commonly known as a Tri-coat. I'm not trying to be mean, but it's quite obvious you don't have any knowledge about what you are selling. You claim your knowledge of paint is using lacquer and having youtube videos. Neither of these gives you any credibility in the paint field. My suggestion to you would be to research your products so it at least sounds like you know what you are selling. It seems there are not many sources for paint that are both reliable and have any kind of customer support. I wish you luck with your adventure.

By this do you mean a base color, a tinted color or pear,l which then still needs to be cleared?

That is not the definition of a single stage paint. This makes me wonder if you know enough about your paints to help someone who might buy it and have a problem with using your products. To reassure the people who would want to purchase from you, could you tell us your background of selling or working with paint so they can trust you have knowledge of the products you are selling.

Yes.

With the many colors available in nail polish, you should be able to make your own color that could be very close to match any automotive color.

You do, it's called nail polish!

I would bet they are including all the bodywork into the price of the paintjob.

Buy a darn calendar for crying out loud!

There are a lot of different file types that can be vector files. I can export a variety of file extensions, can you read an eps file? That seems to be the most universal file I've found for most machines that follow a vector path.

This is the truth!

Dave, I offered to help with the file for Doc, what files can your machine read?

Maybe a son or daughter is using her account?

If you are in the business of selling paint, shouldn't you at least know the terminology of your products?

That's a nice bag, but I don't have any shoes that match.

If this is legit, more power to the seller. But for that money it should be fully plumbed, wired, and have opening doors, hood, and tailgate.

I agree with your emoji. WTH, if it needs to be cleared, it's not a single stage paint. Since when does lacquer NEED to be cleared? What's next,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, snap kits, cement required? I'm not sure I would buy paint from someone who doesn't know what they are talking about.

The notch part would be an easy fix, but I really don't like the chunky look above the "C". I'm sure I could trim that down too. I'm going to take a ride to Ollie's today to see if by chance either of the stores close to me have one. I kind of like the funky shape of it, what I really like about it over the PW body I'm working on is how short it is front to back. I do agree the "C" part of it isn't so nice looking. As I progress on the PW body, I really like it and I'm sure it would be a lot more comfortable to drive in the real world. Unfortunately it just doesn't look as cool as the stubby shape of the original kit.

About twice a year either AMC or TCM does a day of car oriented movies. HRTH has been on a few times in these movie blocks.

It seems the Fruit Wagon doesn't match the box art. The bottom of the "C" on the box art meets the the top edge of the door, while the kit has it above creating a notch. I think the best way to make a recreation is your idea of the BW and the rat rod kit. The other thing about the FW that I don't like is the top of the "C" is too thick for my taste. The more I look at my PW cab the less I think it will do a good job of making a clone, the cab is too long. To shorten it I would have to take a chunk out out of the top of the "C". I think if I'm going to do a faithful reproduction of the Charger, the BW cab is the best bet.

I guess that explains why he hasn't been on here since December.

Thanks for the idea Pat. I do have a Cola Wagon (?) cab left over from my Insani T build. I was happy to finally find a use for the PW glue bomb. Decisions, desicions..................... Another member told me to look for a Fruit Wagon kit. Judging by the box art I wouldn't have to do anything to make the body but what fun is just gluing a kit together, if I'm not cutting something up I'm just not happy. I'm not sure what I'm doing yet, part of me says make it as close to the box art as possible and part of me want's to modernize it a bit.

I'm not going to do an exact clone of the model. I will modernize it a bit, but it will be recognizable. According to the site I found the pictures on, this is the truck the model was based on.

I remembered having a Paddy Wagon glue bomb and got the saw out. If I think I can dig up enough parts, I'll start a build thread. The original Charger, The start of my Charger'

Yes they are crappy models. But seeing as the ones that interest me were released in the early mid sixties, I doubt if any of us were serious modelers back then. I'm as old as water and I was just 6 yrs old when the one I'm about to build in 1/25 scale came out. I love the box art on most of these! I will admit after finding the pics of a built version of "The Charger" it's very disappointing. But this will be the fun of building a larger scale version using the skills I now have.
