weasel

or, use a 'spot putty' , the red stuff, OR 3M makes a 2part 'sputty' that sands/feathers nicely...i've found that CA sands 'hard', sometimes you end up taking more plastic than needed to 'smooth out' the CA filler...

<<<< before then... then... now...

i didn't know the Stig built models?? lol

...and you'll get a coool RED one in the case also!!!

turned out verry nice...don't worry aboot the decal thing, you can only see one side of the car at a time!!! lol

drat, always worked in the past!!! i know, it's overtime for the USPS to 'go' to Canada!!! lol

the ONLY reason i bought it at a swap was because of the '429' engine!!! lol been on the shelf for at least 18 yrs... lol i think it was a $5.00 buy... it does have some nice LT-1 stripes tho'...

oh yeah....

Canuck bucks!!

i just put 6 gascans together that i found looking for something else...found about 5 'toolboxes', tops and bottoms, from the Monogram stockers...

i love the NNL's...been to Jersey twice, met Jarius out there, purple koolaid or something?? lol been to Atlanta a handfull of times, even 'stole' a sign, sent Bob/zz a ransom note...lol been to my home NNL, Toledo about 10 times.... i've found that if/when you got to any of these, you need to have a BUDGET for the swap, if not, YOU WILL SPEND TO MUCH $$$$$ lol... my 1st NNL East, i was just AMAZED at the number and quality of builds that were there, something like 1100-1200 models!!! biggest i'd seen was a Toledo NNL that had around 500+ models... and seeing people that you only see at shows etc... stories...even met Auggie at Toledo one year, verrrrry nice, no airs kinda guy...seeing kids talking to the Biggins' about something on their model, not really a competition, more of a model show...

i'm a firm believer in PlastiCote sandable primers, T235,T236,T234,T237...grey, black, red oxide and white...makes a good barrier for lacquer on plastic, is fairly thin, but covers well and sands well... although i've had an airbrush for more than 10-12 years, i think i've only used it a handfull of times, to much clean-up 'tween colors, rattlecans here also... did ya know that the different color spraytips have different spray patterns??? primer can tip when used on a color can puts out about 1 1/2 times more paint than primer...Testor clearcoat tips put out a kinda fog more than a spray...me personaly, i would rather use lacquer than enamel just for the dry time difference and i like 2tone cars...enamel needs at least a week to ten days to be ready* for 2nd color, i can do a 2 color lacquer job in a weekend... *so as not leave tape marks in the paint...

excellent hotrod!!! +10 on the brass knucks..lol

shameless plug.... http://www.cincinnatiautoreplicas.org/

nothing finished, nothing new started=nothing to really post about!!! and the weather's getting warmer, been riding since middle of Jan...

watch out for SNAKES!!!! i likey...

like VWDave said, you had me with blown Ardun... please continue...

that IS nicely done...a fan of Watson paint jobs here to!!

not really...18-19" fronts, 20-22" rears were commonplace on the racecars back then...

we ammended our 'box stock' class to include BMF only as almost ALL the cars have chrome trim...they look more real with foil...

i like the 934's, 935's, 936's...lol

i do that when the bottle starts getting low and i replace it, well, the unused old stuff gets the 'custom mix' and i put a splash on the cap for reference..

i'm cornfused, in your 1st pix, it shows an orange/white two tone with a wide red stripe[which is how i remember it]...you got yer white, red, and yella, no orange...IJS...lol

nice quickie!!

those signs didn't mean HIS Porch did they?? OMG, i got another call.....
