If you post a photo from a photo hosting site, the photo will either show here at its full size, or if it exceeds a certain size it'll be automatically downsized here and you have to click on it to see it full size (but it won't be a small thumbnail size). If you post a photo directly from your computer's hard drive it shows up here as a thumbnail.

No selling allowed on the forum, guys. Remember???

You really shouldn't curse around town... it'll only get you a bad reputation...

Personally I think those "Dayclonas" are very cool...

Don't hold your breath...

I think it's kinda cute (and funny!)

You placed the winning bid and obviously wanted it... but you don't have any idea what to do with it?

Very impressive detail there, G!

WOW! That's amazing! The detail on both is very impressive, but on the "bare" version it's unbelievable at such a small size.

You posted in the right place... and welcome aboard!

Very nice! But seriously... have tail fins ever looked more out of place than on this car???

Nicely done!

I guess it depends on who you ask. From About.com: Acrylics are water-based paints, which means they can be mixed with water to thin them down and you clean your brushes with water. They’re made from pigment mixed with acrylic resin and emulsion. From Wikipedia: water serves as the vehicle for an emulsion (suspension) of acrylic polymer that is the binder in acrylic paint. ...acrylic paint is "water-based" (or sometimes "water-borne").

Can't be... I don't wear glasses... Maybe I should post the rules in BIGGER TYPE next time???

As usual, don't post hints or answers here. PM me with year, make and model. The answer: 1964 Reliant Regal

So who is "Modelcarsmag?"

There is???

I have no doubt you'll do a fantastic job on that model... But geez, that car is ug-leeee!!!

Can't tell you, because I may use more of his work in the future. And after looking at the photos again, I'd say the model is bigger than 1/8. Maybe 1/6 or so???

I'll post a bunch more photos tomorrow.

If you use silver paint to detail locks and badges and things like that, and you mess up and get a little silver where it shouldn't be, just use a bit of body color and a small brush to paint over any excess silver. Then do your clear coat after all the emblems and little silver details are finished. That's how I do it, anyway... I'm sure other people have different techniques.

You can foil pretty small emblems and scripts. All you need are a sharp knife, a magnifier and a steady hand. Sometimes, though, it is easier to use silver paint on small items like door locks and small scripts and emblems... they're so small that silver paint will give you a passable "chrome" effect. Some people will take a piece of foil and cover the scripts before they paint the model. Then after painting, they remove the paint from the high spots of the script detail by using a polishing kit to reveal the foil.

I agree. Don't paint chrome trim with silver paint, use foil instead. You'll get a much more realistic effect. After all, silver paint doesn't look like chrome trim, it looks like silver paint.

So you're saying I'm lying??? Here's your proof...
