  4. Mario, Glad to see how well the T/A turned out. Were able to use the decal that I snipped the corner off? Mike
  5. I agree with David. I also have used solid round Evergreen rods. Good Luck Mike
  6. I guess it all deepens on what you are building and personal taste. Metallic paint was used on high end 30's cars. So, two tone metallic and baes coat paint jobs from the factory have been around for a long time.

  9. I use Cockpit glue on all 4 corners. Tape the windshield and use Epoxy to glue the rest of the windshield in place. Mike
  10. I went Thursday same old stuff. I stand there looking at the kits saying, "I got this one, got this one, so on and so on" Hopefully Christmas will bring some new stuff. My Hobby Lobby started getting Gundam's and paint supplies for them. Mike
  11. SMS016 Photo Etch Cut Off Set - Large – The Small Shop
  12. I have one of these and it works great. Make sure you use the blade that is recommended. It also prevents the parts tree from bending, twisting, and ruining the rest of the tree. Photo etch cutters VS Small Company tool Good luck Mike
  13. Dumb question. Was there fisheye on the paint before you clear coated? Mikw
  14. Thanks Guys for the info
  15. Does an ALPS printer have the ability to clean up and magnify an object? Example. I have an old picture that was taken outside of my house during Christmas 1964. The picture is shot through the front window and you can see our Christmas Tree. I can see the ornaments and the tinsel on the tree. I still can make out lettering on the ornaments. But not sharpe enough to read them. Example. I can see the numbers and letters on a license plate, but I cannot read them. Mike
  16. -To change the screen size, I hold down Ctrl the press - to reduce size and = + to increase. Good luck Mike
  17. I think that someone here grafted the front end onto a 67 GTO body. It was a well-done build. It was this one? Mike
  18. I found a couple of pictures. This is a BMW diesel powered one.
  19. 1979 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am (modelroundup.com)

  23. I saw a 4pack of jet engine metallizer Hobby Lobby for $29.99. Is this what you bought? The reason that I am asking is that all the colors looked the same. Mike
  24. I taped the tins to the inside of the body. Did test fittings Taped them back into position. Then glued them into place. Hope this helps Mike
  25. Today is the 23rd anniversary of the last flight of the SR 71 Blackbird. First flown on December 22nd, 1964. The SR-71 is the pinnacle of Kelly Johnson's career.
