  1. Looks like a banana with wheels ! I like what your doing. Can't wait to see it with the black on it.
  2. You do some nice work.
  3. Building a Zipper ?
  4. Sam is correct. I had one of those devices and as long as your curves are long and flowing it works very well.
  5. They both look great Ray
  6. Looks great !
  7. Good info on the web. Search on youtube. Also many dvds available to help you. There is also some tools you load the paint into but those are best for straight lines. One shot paint works the best. I bought a kit on ebay a while ago that had about 6 colors of paint and some tape to do your layout and a couple of dagger brushes. Here practice will be your friend. I did 4 cars with my kit but pretty much just a double line. With the kit I had you got some tape in different styles and you placed the tape and then remove the clear carrier and paint between the tape lines. Then you just pull up the tape and you have nice clean paint lines. Maybe considered "cheating" but it works pretty darn good. You will learn to "feel" how to thin the paint on the brush if needed to get a good flow. You will also learn how to load up a dagger brush so you can pull a long line. Using body placement and your fingers for curves will also have to be learned. As I said before practice, practice, practice. Someone else here may have better advise for you. Good luck !
  8. Ya, what he said ! What did he say ??
  9. Looks good to me !
  10. Nice car !
  11. Interesting.
  12. oops there it is !
  13. I think the 2VC ones are cool. Just like a Volksrod. In fact I just ordered a model kit and some wheels and tires from ebay. Gonna build me a hot rod frog ! : )
  14. Clever and very well done. I like it !
  15. Amen Chip. Working with a Flintstone body now.
  16. Looks very much like an old racing Fiat, no ?
  17. As far as being unrealistic goes apart from being a specific piece I would have to say the stance that most models seem to have if you don't modify something. I don't know why so many model kits put the front end so high or have them looking like 4 wd vehicles.
  18. Looks perfect !
  19. Cool old builds.
