Yeah, I guess so!

Oh yeah. She could really belt 'em out. Like so many others of the era, she died way too young.

I'll have to check out the Danbury Mint GTX. I don't have that one. The '67 Belvedere/GTX is one of my all-time favorite cars! (My very first car ever was a 10-year old '67 Belvedere, so that car has a real special place in my memories...)

Maybe! I can just imagine some of the younger guys here thinking, Janis WHO????

I have to hop on the bandwagon too. That's a real beauty, everything is so clean and well done. The colors, the details, it's all just right. Fantastic work!

Just one question: What does Janis Joplin's song "Cry Baby" have to do with this???

Dang! I shoulda used the front view! Bill, I think we'll have to call you "eagle eye" from now on!

? If you ever care to explain how your school or the governor of California had anything to do with your own personal actions, I'm sure there are plenty of people who'd love to hear it...

I'm not sure who the one person who voted "model" is, but thanks! You avoided me being totally shut out! Ok, I guess this one was easy, it's REAL! Next ROM coming Monday! ("Romday!")

I haven't drawn anything by hand in many years. I used to do it all by hand... airbrush (acrylics) on illustration board. And all the pain that goes with it... running out of a color at 10 PM with the illustration due in the morning and no art supply stores open anymore... or worse yet, paint bleeding under the frisket... or worse yet, the airbrush spitting onto the illustration, or actually spilling paint onto it. Sheesh... the stuff I used to put up with! Now I do all my illustrations electronically. Still "drawn" by me, but instead of an airbrush I use a mouse now. That's progress, I guess...

Wow... this one sure has sparked a lot of responses... and a very lopsided vote. Are you guys right? Or hopelessly fooled? Tune in tomorrow morning...

I'll bet that piano is worth a few bucks!

Water won't hurt an airbrush! I spray acrylics all the time, and I clean out the airbrush with water! The reason for the moisture trap is not to protect the airbrush from water, the reason is this: when you're spraying paints that are not water-based, like enamels or lacquers, you don't want any water that's collected in the tank to mix with the paint, because obviously water and enamels or water and lacquers don't mix. But spraying water-based media, or water itself, will never hurt an airbrush.

Is this the place? :lol:

wow, that's a beauty! Needs to be in the magazine...

Darn right!!!

Welcome to the world of real computers... PC guys, don't kill me...

Practicing with water until you get a feel for the airbrush is a terrific idea! No wasted paint, and no fumes to worry about. You might want to try mixing in a drop or two of food coloring, and practicing on some heavy white paper. The food coloring will make it easier to see the spray pattern you're getting, and how the various adjustments to pressure, paint flow and air flow alter the pattern.

Well well well... the vote up to this point is very one-sided... Just like last week, when you were all WRONG!!! Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha.... (That's my "evil laugh", BTW...)

There's definitely a party going on in that paint job!!!

Too bad you're such a no-talent hack builder...

On the Camaro renderings, I'm talking about the design/proportions of the car itself, not the quality of the art. I know that those renderings aren't the best ever, but the car itself, if real, would look cool (maybe not the sloped-back front end though. A Camaro needs a more aggressive front end treatment, I think). Foose? I'm not so much "anti Foose", more like "why the heck is this guy considered such a styling genius by so many people?" Especially on the cars where he literally does nothing more than slap on a set of cartoon wheels, a garish paint job and calls it "his" design... To me, he's more a customizer than a designer, but I do know he's done some ground-up stuff. I'll check out the link...

Ok... after your last humiliating defeat, let's see if you can make a comeback! Real or model? The answer: REAL!

Good point. End of discussion... Back to the original question... if I ever built one of those models, I'd probably add a little something of my own to them. I don't think I'd ever want to build one "stock."

Show me.
