Not sure what you mean by "handling" , I've been using sharpies for years and never had an issue with it rubbing off . Of course I've never picked up a model and rubbed the lights with my finger to test it .
I have globaltoys as a saved seller but this morning nothing on ebay was working . Now it's all good and I see the script you're talking about , looks like it's the correct size so I'll order a set . Thanks !
Thanks Rex , I've seen those but have only bought decals from globaltoy . I may get a set but right now the search function on ebay isn't working for me .
Gorgeous '59 Luke ! As a certified El Camino fanatic (I've owned 1 '59, 2 60's, 1 '70, 1 '74, and 1 '82) I have to say that's the nicest "59 El Camino I've seen built , Congrats !
Thanks again Nigel ! I've always wanted to try replicating the rubber gaskets but was always doubtful I could mask and spray the frames properly . A while ago I did it to spray some chrome trim and it worked okay so I went for it here .
Sharp little MG Trevor , great paint and very nicely detailed especially the interior ! I've got a couple of the Aoshima kits and never cared for the one piece windshield/frame either . I'm currently converting one to an MGB-GT .
Thanks Nigel ! I don't normally do any polishing since BMF doesn't stick very well to polished paints .
Well I spent two days on what normally would have been a one or two hour job but the foil is finally finished , I guess I'm getting the hang of this new stuff but I still don't like it . I masked and sprayed the front and rear window gaskets with Tamiya TS-82 Rubber Black , then applied a thin strip of foil for the reveal molding . Not perfect but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out .
Beautifully done John , love that blue paint and I'd say you've got the whole foil thing figured out ! I've super detailed interiors & engines and I've done quick easy ones too , when finished the only difference is the photos that get posted .
Thanks for the info , I know very little about MGB's so I'm sure a lot of what I do won't be technically correct . The color I'm shooting for is Bronze Yellow so I repainted this morning with Brilliant Orange and it looks a lot better to me .
