  1. 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.........!
  2. Here's some at WalMart.......... https://www.walmart.com/ip/Krylon-Acrylic-Crystal-Clear-Satin/17211028
  3. Krylon has a "window" that you have to work within to keep it from crazing. That's if you are clearing with any enamel over it. I think the can suggest either before 30 minutes or 24 hours after........ Krylon makes a semi-gloss or satin clear that will work, as long as you work within that window....... HTH!
  4. I'm sure a few of mine have been Google'd...... I don't mind as maybe I introduced someone to a new song. Try this one................ "I broke the bread line, nobody knows, I walk the front line, still got far to go......."

  17. If you wanted to go full detail, Revell in the past couple years released a 1/25 Hemi Cuda...... You could combine it with the AMT snap cuda, and for the engine, AMT made a 340 Duster you could use.......... Model Roundup carries all three of these kits.....

  21. Thank you guys for all the discussion on this. I see there are several options through various methods to get a plated chrome finish......

  23. Hey, Clayton.... I have a few truckers in the family. One is an aunt that drove over the road for about 30 years. (she told me the secret to backing a trailer). With everything being kept up with electronically now, I bet it's impossible to make "adjustments" in your logs, or to drive more hours than you should, or even slip over into the far left lane to make time anymore....... Everything has to be by the book, now......... I have nothing but respect for truck drivers, a cop once told me that while directing traffic you can tell a truck to go up, and he'll do his damnest to do it. It just seems like a lot is changing for drivers, and some not for the better.............
  24. The only phone I have is a land line........ The last cell phone I had wouldn't even take pictures. I'm not old fashioned, just behind the times, I guess (or is that the same thing?) I do have a tattoo, it's of Swiper the Fox! I got it for my niece when she was about 3, she's 13 now...... I'm still glad I have it.
