  1. Looks great, the red wheels and white walls really set it off.
  2. I was lucky enough to pick up a can of TS-29 Semi Gloss Black yesterday from my regular hobby shop. Hopefully this is a sign that any shortage is over.
  3. I enjoyed looking at your finished build earlier today. If you notice the date on my post it was 2 months ago. I have been watching your build as it went along. The way you finished the rear side windows looks like something that would work.
  4. I tried it on a two-tone '56 Nomad custom. I was trying to cover Model Master Pearl Orange and Light Ivory. Just didn't get the Pearl Affect I was going for. It may of just been me. So you really should paint some spoons and see what happens before you try to paint your model.
  5. Very nice. I had to look at the photos a second time to realize that it was a model.

    '49 Mercury Woody

    Looks like a real fun build. This kit offers so many different ways to build. I would never have thought of the "metal" wood trim.
  7. Great looking build. What color did you use on the body?
  8. Looks great. You mentioned what you thought were problems with the build, your hard on your self. The stance looks like your leaving an intersection. The hood may be very simple. It looks as if you may have mounted the hoods chrome upside down. If it doesn't jack up your paint you could try removing the chrome bar and flip it over and see how it looks. Very nice looking SS.
  9. Very creative. I look forward to what you may think of next on this.
  10. Love your build style on this one. What do you have in mind for the windshield and shifter ?
  11. Very nice clean build. The extra details under the hood make all the difference in the world in the final look.
  12. Looks great. I have to agree on the painted steel wheels. If not the baby moons then look for a set of the small caps from the 210 kit. Always a good looking cap for Chevys. Paint the wheels body color and the suggestion of trim rings would help set the wheels. Remember just a little lower in front and maybe a staggered tire size.
  13. Nice build and the paint is outstanding.
  14. You might look at Revell's Datsun 240Z or their Datsun 510. They are both 4 lug type wheels. The 510 has chrome American style 4 spokes.
  15. Turned out real nice, look forward to the Charger. Bullitt is my all time favorite movie.

    72 GTO..

    Great color, I love the "DayTwo Look".
  17. Very clean well built.
  18. Nice clean cruiser.
  19. Looks like it has made a stage or two. Great build.
  20. Seeing your WIP photos shows the research that went into this build as well as the amount of fabrication needed. Looks perfect.
  21. Looks very nice. Any additional info on the build and maybe a couple more pictures ?
  22. Great build, outstanding interior details.
  23. No need to strip the gloss black paint, just give it a dust coat of semi-gloss or even flat clear.
  24. I have been pleased with this method also, but use a light spraying of clear along the edge. Remove the tape before the paint fully dries. As suggested remove the tape slowly and peal it back at an angle.
