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.

Mod Podge, tacky glue, Elmers?
Mike 1017 replied to TonyK's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I use Cockpit glue on all 4 corners. Tape the windshield and use Epoxy to glue the rest of the windshield in place. Mike -
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

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

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

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
