Great Job! Love the decals on the windows. Nice work area too

Will stop at Sears to gather a few of each of those. Mention of "low tension" got my attention. Most mini clamps are just too strong. Thanks for tip.

Way cool!

Aprons and panty hose...... Oh my!

Cut, bend, twist, grind ,sand, prime, sand, fill more, sand, prime, paint. Darn it. Strip, sand, prime, paint, etc. Fun aint it?

Darn near life size, in plastic. Looking cool.

Use mineral spirits (from walmart) to thin enamels. Lacquer thinner (walmart) will thin most enamels and lacquers the same. Test compatability on spare frames or bodys if you have any doubts . Krylon thins with lac. thinner just fine if needed(a drop or two never hurts). Careful with clearcoats ( no Tamiya gloss over Krylon). These are just some quick and dirty pointers to begin your journey into airbrush. All coatings of same brand (Testers Enamels, Tamiya, Krylon, etc.) should play well together. These notes have nothing to do with acrylics. Decanted canned paint sprays nicely. Decanted Krylon might be good for first test projects (these test cars may turn out kinda nice, so give it a try). Hunt around this website for many really good tips on painting. Hope this may help with some of your questions. Be safe. You will need adequate ventalation to safely spray any of these products. Use good sense. Do not expect glass smooth finishes right from the start. Practice and have fun.

Looking at pictures of workbenches\areas is just about as much fun as looking at looking at the builds here. Anything goes, whatever works the best for you. Sometimes the benches are more fun!

Just when you think you've got it thinned enough, thin it again. Several light coats is always better than one heavy coat. Air brush has created a huge learning curve for me, including but not limited to material handling, transfering paint, health and safety, airbrush cleaning proceedures, proper thinners, paint types, disposal of by-products, and more. Good Luck

Hi Diesel Gypsy, didn't there used to be a door behind that wall of TV and drawers?

Nice color combinations. This kit is a good one for honing ones modeling skills. Great canvas for painting techniques, add trailer for even more. This kit is a booger to complete. Completing this model is the latest object of my obsession. Finished product will make for a great display. Good Luck
