I would like to chime in again about BMF. Today I spent 2 1/2 hours foiling my Trumeter Falcon kit. Now since I am kind of cheap with the BMF I normally trim it before I apply it trying to use only as much as I need to do whatever part or area I am foiling. After laying down the first piece and burnishing it down I went to trimming. Very tough to "pick" up the end to peel back the excess. I was able finally using a toothpick to get it off without doing any damage to the paint. For my next section ( I was doing the side trim ) I cut a piece that overlapped by a fair amount. I pressed it down lighty into place and then trimmed it. I had more excess material to grab and it came off pretty clean. I then burnished it down better. So for me, if I don't be so stingy when applying the BMF to begin with I seem to have better luck.

Not much better than a free model kit. Good find !

I myself have been building on and off for 50 years. I have quit building no less than 4 times. I sold off everything including tools. Eack time I started up again and had to purchase everything all over. Now I just put the stuff away and wait till the mood strikes again. This forum has helped a bunch in keeping the motivation going. Still once in a while I will stop for a week or so.

Watched it from day one. My favorite show by far.

You did a great job, it looks very nice.

Looks nice. I really like the "big" Mustangs.

Oh ya Bill. I noticed the flat top Comet. I have another flat top in my to build line up to go with my 57 Ford. This time it will be a 62 Impala. I love the Flat tops ! : )

I guess these 2 are the weirdest ones I have. As to why I bought them ????? Well. they are Cobra's.

Cool build. At least if he has to back up he will get good traction on one side. : )

Another nice job Al. Very nice color.

Doesn't this plane look like one of the Hasagawa "egg" style planes ?

Thanks for the link Bill. Some very cool build ideas there.

What they said .

I saw a couple episodes of the new one ( all there was so far ) . Pretty much what you would expect if you watched the first series. One new guy on the crew who that prank over and over. Same high school antics over and over. I wish they would build some "normal" bikes people would like to own and ride instead of always the stupid theme bikes. Stick a company name here, stick a company name there. Just one guys opinion.

Nice work Al !

Very, very cool !

Looks like you did a great job on it.

Thank you men.

Count me in as one who has noticed the same thing. Fact is I messed up a paint job trying to remove a small sliver of a section on one of my last wips.I used a toothpick and managed to scrape some paint. I hate to foil to begin with and now I hate it more.

Looking good Ira. The mesh is a nice touch.

Very nice work. I like it alot.

Another great looking creation Ira ! What goes on in that head of yours ? : )

Looks great, nice interior.

Got some time to get back on this wip. Interior pretty much done. Unfinished section will be covered by the rear seat cover. Engine pretty much done. Body painted and cleared. Shot some Dullcote on the wheels to tone them down a bit. So far the kit seems to fit together pretty good. Thanks for looking.

Got this today. Bought on the " Bay" for 8 bucks. Going to remove the windshield and build another "flat top" funny car simular to the 57 Ford I built a couple months ago.
