hahaha your bench looks like mine

at least i'm not the only one this happens to

Well i started a few weeks ago by opening the revell sox and martin gtx as i opened the bags to inspect i noticed the body was warpped like you wouldn't beleive, so i figured okay i'll soak it in a tub of warm water for a couple hours, after bringing it out of the soak and putting it on bench i put some light weight on it thinking while the body cools it will retain it's normal shape , it worked , well it was 85% better than when i started, i figured when it came time to put the interior pan in it will straighten up well let me tell you after much cursing and grumbling it wouldn;t after a lot of choice words i can hear my wife in the next room saying Put The Model Down and Walk Away well berfore you know it this is what happened Bam it happened so quick the fist down on the body ,i was pissed at the time, but i did feel much better afterwards,, the wife thinks i need some anger management classes lol

Here is what mine looks like right now, well it pretty much looks like this all the time as soon as one is complete there is another to continue

i agree with andy, besides it's what the old man uses , in his videos he shows a baggie full of them

just emailed her to bring all but the vette to the show,, not bad 4 kits for 30.00 bucks she gave a further discount and said she will have lots of kits ranging from 5 dollars to 15.00,think i'm gonna need to take more money with me than i planned

ah the great white north we should get it around june!!

Ouch!!! that price is crazy

Okay still being fairly new back into the hobby not sure which are good kits and ones to stay away from there is a show on april 14 here with upwards of 40 vendors so they say anyway there is one vendor who will bring the kits that you want to the show , i just want to know if these kits are okay 1-#6588 amt 59 chev vette $7.00 2-31935 amt 66 ford fairlane gt-gta $7.00 3-31930 amt 69 ply. gtx 440 $7.00 4- revell 4289 75 ply duster NHRA funny car $19.00 5- monogram 7564 cop out $14.00 further more the 7.00 kits have been reduced to 5.00

Tamiya is all i'll use and i have top coated with testors one coat lacquer model master enamels and no problems yet

fantastic job on both

Nothing but tamiya fine ,never had to sand which for me makes up for the cost

Don't get rid of anything chances are you'll be back , i sold all my woodworking stuff years ago because i had no desire to do it anymore, and 3 years ago i got the bug again and 10,000 dollars later i still haven't replaced everything i sold

All looks great to me, i myself have just started detailing engines ,and there is nothing wrong with yours great job

what do you thin fingernail polish with? never tryied it but i might give it a go

If were lucky

1 hour minimum so i,ve heard , i let it sit a few hours

I could get 2 sometimes 3 depending ,

i did paint it with tamiya and it's were i want it to be so i will leave it thanks

How long did you let it gas out, maybe it wasn't long enough, thats the problem with enamel it takes forever to gas out

I'm currently working on a 71 duster, i painted it sassy green with the hood painted flat black, i'm going to clear the body(not sure what brand of clear yet but deffinetly not krylon ) but i would like to know if i cleared the hood with a semi gloss clear will that take the flat black effect away or should i leave it and not clear the hood i really want the flat look

Very nice build, i love the color

thats the one car i regret selling grrrrr

Looks great, i like the color i used the same maybe a bit darker in my build , i love this kit

What did it work on enamel or laquer or what ,, good to know
