Guys? Should I delete this topic? I think it may have brought up some things that were never my intention. Maybe things from our pasts should stay there in the past. I'm not sure what to do..............

Hey, bubbaman.... I have found that it helps a lot to read reviews on a specific kit you may be interested in. Just search the reviews forum for the next kit you want to build, or better yet look at a WIP of the kit. Sometimes the positive or negative comments will help me decide if I want to tackle the kit at all. I stick to kits that don't have a lot of problems, mainly because I don't have the skills to fix them. There's good and bad from each model company, and the older kits seem to run into the most problems....... Anyways, hope this helps some...

That old man looks more toddy'd up than grumpy.......!

My pain is self chosen, At least, so the prophet says, I could either burn, or cut of my pride and buy some time, A head full of lies is a weight tied to my waist..................

Will Ferrell - He's as good in serious roles as he is in comedy Jim Carey - for pretty much the same reason Johnny Depp - He's a big Tim Burton fan, as am I Robert Deniro - Always one bad dude, no matter which side of the law he's on Burgess Meredith - best Twilight Zone actor ever, maybe the best actor ever period..........

That one is very clever! I like it...............

Harry, You haven't changed your avatar in about a year...... Did you run out of famous Harrys? We never got to see Harry Potter, or Harry and the Hendersons.....

"My name is Forrest" he'd casually remark, Waiting for the bus with his hands in his pockets, He kept on saying "Life is like a box of chocolates" ............................................................................................................................ Statue in the Square, meant so much when it first stood, People come from far and near, blaspheme it, blaspheme every word..................

I've been having good luck with DupliColor engine enamel primer...... It has ceramic in it, and I think that's what makes it tough enough to stand up to the Perfect Match paints.... It goes on thin and sands smooth.......

That little bugger was 14 pieces.......! It would be difficult to take apart and redo, so I may try to locate another and make it more traditional colors.....

This is how "Oye Como Va" loosely translates......... Originally done by a guy names Tito Puente, later covered by Santana.....

I like that color, Michelle! Quick question, do you clearcoat your models? If not, can I maybe suggest Krylon Crystal Clear? It's an acrylic that won't yellow like the enamels will, and it has a "fan" spray pattern tip which I prefer to the "cone" pattern of brands like Rustoleum. You can use the Krylon over any type of paint, too............

Now THAT sounds cool........ would you like to share pics? You can post them here if you'd like..........

That turned out REALLY nice! My favorite style kustom, subtle but effective............

Maybe you guys would dig it better if he left off the Fleur De Lis'...........

The problem is that people don't WANT to be respected, because they don't want to be obligated to show anyone else respect.......... and niceness is interpreted as weakness! Sad state...........

Thanks, guys.... for reviving this old thread! I started it a couple months after I joined. Hard to believe that's been 4.5 years ago.........! Something that might help for in the future is if the replies have a pic of your current avatar in them.......... That way you can explain what it was at the time! My avatar currently is an old Dodge pickup. Always loved the SweptLines!

Listen how it goes, my rhythm, Easy to dance to, mulatto girl.............

or If you're gonna be dumb you gotta be tough! The quote from your Mom is cool...............

They serve them at the fairs here when they are in town. Never had one, but people tell me they are good! They freeze the candy bar, batter it, then deep fry........ by the time the batter is done the bar is thawed.........

We can't talk politics or religion, but there's nothing stopping a philosophy topic. A couple of ideals that I try to carry with me thru my day-to-day........... The glass being half-full or half-empty depends on whether you are filling that glass or emptying it out................ Freedom is just that, FREE! Yours shouldn't cost me anything, and mine shouldn't cost you................... So share with us some mindset, I want inside your head!

Radiate this frequency, and show me just what the hell you mean, Pacemaker pace yourself, you were slowly clawing your way out..............

Thanks, guys.... I knew one of you two would know!

Hey, Guys........ I have a model that I cleared with two different clears. I put enamel on the body and lacquer on the fenders. The body is a lot shinier than the fenders are. I'm wondering if maybe the speed that the clear dries affects how shiny it is? Thanks for any input on this.........!

Here's some at WalMart.......... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Krylon-Acrylic-Crystal-Clear-Satin/17211028
