  1. I've never tried to clear over Chrome Foil. It just seems to work fine without.
  2. Was it a very humid day? That has been a problem for me in the past.
  3. Good looking trailer. Keep the updates coming
  4. Good fabricating on your conversion. Hope you can get it cast.
  5. Outstanding conversion. If you can get Scale Motorsport upholstery decales in Oz, that may help with your seats. Please keep us updated on this model.
  6. These are fun models. Whatching for more pictures.
  7. Looks real good. Look forward to more pictures.
  8. This looks like it will be interesting. Please keep the pictures coming.
  9. Michael, I have used Prisamcolor metallic silver for chrome . Their metallic gold works well for a brass fitting or anything else you need in that color range. Another product I found that works well is DecoColor paint marker. I got their extra fine Liquid Gold and White. These work well for triming tires also. In the old days before Chrome Foil was invented, we used Testors Chrome in the small 1/4 oz. size to paint trim. Tamiya X-11 Chrome Silver also can be used if you can find it. Hope this helps.
  10. Speaking of Califonia, and meaning no disrespect to forum members presently there. I was a 30 year+ resident of " The Golden State". I well remember " Gov. Moonbeam " In time he turned out to not have been so bad. The saying at the time of my departure in 1996 was " Last tax payer out turn off the lights "
  11. Welcome Rob. If you have not already bought the 69 Camaro convertable yet, consider the Revell Z28 coupe. It has both grills, standard and RS. You can remove the top to make the convertable. I personaly like this model better than the AMT issue. Both are good models, but you may be able to save a little. The convertable boot ia avalible from several resin casters. Please post some pictures when you get going on this, I realy like these cars.
  12. Rob, Thats some good looking goodies. Thanks for the info.
  13. I'm guilty of useing this turm often in my posts. I use this term as a copliment too the builder's model. I think Richard Manson first said it best and Raoul's pictures illistrated what I think "clean" is. It would seem that many of us agree on this.
  14. Like it alot. If it were real it would scare all the woman and children. Looken good.
  15. Looks real good, very clean . You realy nailed the look of the Baldwin Moton super cars.
  16. These paint job are amazing
  17. There are many good ideas here, but I think the question was asking about paint. If this is still of intrest you might look for PRISMCOLOR. I have found this at Hobby Lobby in their art section and Office Depot.. It has a roller applicator like a writing pen. I have found med. and fine both. You will want to read the instructions and practice on some spare parts first, but it will look almost as good as foil. I have only used it for touchups and fine chrome trim, but it worked well for me. Hope this is of some help.
  18. Looks real nice. I remember that build on Overhauling.
  19. I like the "Woody" side trim.
  20. Real nice build. Very good detailing.
  21. I also like the Aussie cars. I drive an '05 GTO (Manero). Do you know if The Parts Box has a late model Ute? I thought I would trade for a new Pontiac Ute till GM lost its mind and killed Pontiac in stead of Buick.
  22. Very nice. Can't see the problem with the roof you talked about.
