Welcome to our plastic playground Jason.

I don't have an airbrush, so I use spray cans exclusively for painting bodies and chassis pans. I brush paint small parts.

Welcome to our plastic playground Eddie.

Welcome to our plastic playground Mike.

These wheels are by Steven Zimmerman who is a Forum member. He makes a fantastic variety of wheels & tire sets.

Great pictures Tom. Thanks for posting them for us.

That's a great looking car Ray. I've got one of these in my big TO DO pile.

Yet another fine example of model building from your bench Harry.

Yes Al, I'll be there with my buddy Tom (and maybe a surprise visitor). We'll be doing our usual chores covering photos of the models for MCM. Look for us either in the photo shoot area or around the display room. I look forward to seeing you again.

Another nice one Al.

Very nice Harry. You sure have eclectic tastes in model building...... a little of this and a little of that...... All done very well.

Nice job Patrick.

I've not only had success spraying Duplicolor clearcoat over white primer, but I've also sprayed the clearcoat over gray primer with excellent results. I'm not sure that lacquer clearcoats yellow over time...... I know that enamel clearcoats will.

Welcome to our plastic playground Marcelo.

That's a great looking '57 Bernie. I've got one of these kits coming up soon in my TO DO pile.

I'm with Steve on this. I place my Max bid for a car and don't go over it. If I win... Great. If I lose, I'm not happy about it, but I'm sure there'll be another one or more to bid on down the road. I try to find built-ups, promos, or diecasts of 1950's cars that haven't been made as model kits. I already have all of the 1950's car kits that have been made, even though I may not have built them all yet. I also will not place a bid for anything unless I have the money to pay for it. My regular household bills and budget comes first... anything left over is my "play money". I will also pay for whatever I win as soon as I find out that I've won.

Welcome to our plastic playground Remco.

But the $1 higher bid usually comes in within the last 3 to 5 seconds... As Tom said, I just keep on trying. After losing bids on 6 different 1955 Plymouth promos, I finally won the 7th one. Patience and perseverance does pay off.

Welcome to our plastic playground Daniel.

Yes sir, that's a very cool looking '36.

Happens to me all the time. I enter my Max Bid and most times will get outbid by $1 by those S.O.B.'s using the Sniping/Bidding programs.

That looks really cool Sam, good job.

Thanks for that info Dave. Now I know, in case there is a "next time".

Welcome to our plastic playground Roger. There are a lot of us "white beard aged" people here.

Looks good Ray. I've got one of these in my TO DO pile.
