  1. But hey... free shipping!
  2. Nicely done!
  3. Very nice! But what do you mean by a "sprinkling" of digital? Do you scan your finished illustrations and then add Photoshop touches?
  4. Pretty nice overall, but I would add the coil wire, chrome on the GTS badges on the front fenders, and battery cables. Also... not sure why you painted the ignition wires, but you missed a few spots.
  5. I don't remember my mom getting quite that dressed up to do the laundry...
  6. But remember, Carl... ebay doesn't set the selling price. The seller does. All ebay does is bring buyers and sellers together, they don't control pricing.
  7. What did you use for the beading on the fenders and how did you attach it? Also... you never answered my question about Pro Tech.
  8. A Corvair with a hormonal deficiency...
  9. Tom, I like to keep it simple. No primer. I sand the part as smooth as I can get it, then gloss black Testors enamel out of the can (I suppose you could use Tamiya gloss black, or any brand, really), polish out any obvious specks of dust or crud, then Spaz Stix out of the can. I suppose you could decant and AB everything, but takes away the whole reason why I like Spaz Stix... it looks so good right out of the can!
  10. Wow That's some pretty bright green plastic! Maybe a St. Patrick's Day parade car?
  11. Spax Stix does make their own black base, but really any gloss black will work. I used Testors gloss black enamel. Of course, if you want to be absolutely sure to get the best results, I guess I'd go with the Spaz Stix black base. After all, they were designed to work together.
  12. Very nice! But that blank rear license plate holder looks lonely. I'd add a period-correct plate. BTW... nice photos!
  13. You can always "unbuild" it and make something nice out of it. Not sure if it's worth the asking price, though.
  14. That baby puts my Pochers to shame.
  15. Just like Alcad, to get the maximum chrome effect you need a gloss black base under Spaz Stix.
  16. I don't see the problem. Someone out there will feel it's worth the asking price. Some won't. It's you free will to buy or take a pass. I see absolutely no problem with the seller asking whatever he wants for his merchandise. It's called capitalism. It's the system we live under. Get used to it.
  17. If you're close to a Hobbytown USA, this is about the best price you'll find... https://www.hobbytown.com/mirror-chrome-spray-paint-3.5oz-by-spaz-stix-szx10009/p9988
  18. I buy it online. Do a google search and find the best price. The secret is, like Alclad, you apply it in a thin mist coat. If you spray it on too thick, the "chrome" effect is lost and it just looks like silver paint.
  19. Beautifully none... clean and crisp. I like it!
  20. A grown man on a pogo stick shouldn't look right to you...
  21. Hands down, Spaz Stix. You be the judge... All the chrome on this model (But I didn't sand the windshield frame smooth enough, that's on me, not Spaz Stix)... The wheels on this one... Grille shell on this one... Grille shell, wheels, and headlights...
  22. Not if you don't do any of that...
  23. Brings back memories... I had one exactly like that except it had the black rubber side skirts and front air dam. A very fast car... it was so cool when that turbo kicked in! But why is there what looks like a square hole in the rear glass?
