  1. I love that show,great job on the Elky,both on them.
  2. Ok thanks guys for the advise.I'm pretty sure I can tape off the black and redo the white.Now what is the gassout time for duplicolor clear so I don't make this worse then it is.
  3. Great build,watching this one be buit in in the workbench section was really cool.I bet I wouldn't have noticed all the things you did to make this correct.Great job.
  4. I used Tamiya thinner and nothing else to thin Tamiya paints.I have found that the 2:1 ratio works best.The reason I applied clear is I didn't want to risk a bleedthrough As I did with this model Im assuming that the clear and tape mixing was my problem.Next time I wouln't do that.Now is there a way to fix my white without striping the black?
  5. I think I may have left it on there too long? I was on there for about 5 days.The white was painted over a white dupicolor primer.Two coats of thinned Tamiya paint and then taped off four days later.After a weeks worth of work on the black I removed the tape tonight.Tape was applied in regular conditions without heat.I did spary a light coat of Clear to try and prevent bleeding.
  6. While I was removing the Tamiya tape off of my Hudson tonight I noticed that the tape (I think) did this Nasty mess to my paint job.Both paints are Taiya acrylic colors and the black has a dupli-color clear on it.The black is just fine,it is one of my best black paint jobs,but the white is terrible.Is there any other way then a bath in LAs to save it?I have a show in two weeks and the only thing left on this model is the Paint of course.PLEASE any tips are welcome.
  7. Molly Hatchet?Or is this something entirely different?
