Fine detail areas, I know some people use Bare Metal Foil for the close up area, then tape off a wider area. THEN, despite being an extra step, shoot a light coat of the color behind the tape, in your case the white, around the tape edge, that way if anything bleeds under, it will be the same color, then when that dries spray your black. For what you already have here, tape of the reverse this time to cover the black, and you may be able to VERY carefully sand away the offending areas.

I prefer two part polyester (bondo) style like others have mentioned if I am using putty, but lately I have been using either styrene melted either with heat or liquid cement, or superglue with/without micro-balloons and accelerator which allows me to work it in minutes. In all of these cases, I do not need to worry about shrinking over time. Here is a short shot fender that I filled with melted sprue, from the same kit. I used a flame for this one, but it is better/more controlled to use a soldering iron. The advantage to this over putty is that it also provides strength. First round subsequent brush on filler primer final results

I would be interested in a list. I too wish there were at least a section that would allow posts, I get that it would not be ideal to have to contend with purchase disputes.

Very cool, new to me! Thanks for sharing

A few other 3D printers such as Bolide (now VCG) and Iceman Collections also offer well done Flatheads, but consistently omit early model transmissions for say the Race of Gentlemen where the transmissions need to be 1953 or older. Most kit transmissions that fit that bill tend to be a crude. To you point, getting stray parts to work together can be a chore in itself.

That looks cool! I do not recall hearing the term Brake Dust Weathering. Can you expound?

Thank you both

Looks great. Really dig your backdrop here, you have links to more on that?

Excellent Tim, great read

Great looking T

Very cool

Diggin this one, and many of the others that have posted. I will try to get more work done on my project so I can post, but I am a SLOOoooww builder with limited time in the hobby room

Really enjoying seeing the stuff you guys are putting up, i hope to have something to share first of the week, i started with the motor

I keep getting broken picture links, and did in this case as well so I cannot see the picture

Sooo happy to see this. For those considering the trek, it is indeed a great venue location. See you there Danno

Looks really nice, I always liked this style of custom.

Nicely done

Simple, yet creative (like the seat wedge) solutions you have going on here. I need more of that in my life.

Built mostly box stock. I really like the general proportions of the kit, and I am mostly pleased with the results, there are some oddities which are interesting, but unnecessary, such as work springs for the rear wheels, and reclining seats which you cannot get to unless you cut the side glass out before installation. There is a lack of chassis and motor detail as this is basically a modified toy, with a battery box where the motor should be that the dash mounts to, and the molded in rear axle leaves obvious space for gears to crank the wheels. Throughout the model, there are very few positive mounting brackets, but the fit is good, and the kit gives mutliple year option for the headlight and tail lights. Paint is @https://scalefinishes.com/ with 2k clear.

Danno, the DSC still a go again this year? The website still has last years info and I can’t find anything on the 2023 show.

Ohh, very creative. I just never think like this, too cool

Very nicely done.
