I thought they were all oil-stained underneath! That and axle grease............

I have a model 'kit' that was 3D printed...... At the time it was the only way to get one of the subject that looked decent. I couldn't be happier with it! I plan on building it just like I would a plastic kit, only not with tube glue.

Toupees aren't gonna be enough in a few years, I'll need Threepees to cover the cue.......

Guys, this post in my post count is a palindrome! Number 4,774........... It reminded me of this fun thread! I hope y'all let me hang out here long enough to make that many more posts again..... Best Forum Ever..........

Chicago the band had some really good music, one favorite being 'A Hit By Varese'.......

I like using vinyl dye for interiors! I've used it on a few now...... It does have just the right shine to it! It looks and works better if you prime first.....

Negativity is not only bad for you mentally, it can also take a toll on you physically.......

Just something very formal, and 'sharp' about these cars with that combo.............

Well, guys, we have a rolling chassis! I've decided to get back on this one.....

Guys! You're never gonna believe this! Well, you might since I have pics..... I was able to add this kit to the to-do pile over the weekend! I ordered it Thursday and got it today, Tues. The release I have here is actually from Imai, but it's the same as the Bandai/Entex kit..... Complete with decals and instructions, still in it's bags! I can die now and feel complete, though I'd like to build the thing first.....

Families that seem functional on the outside usually have a black sheep that knows better.

All the exotics you've listed as seeing, and probably see those types of cars on the daily, and the high point of your day was an old station wagon! That's pretty cool...... Means you're a well-rounded car guy.

Earth still has dinosaurs, just in the form of lizards and birds......

That turned out very nice!

Scabs are union workers who choose to work instead of strike.......

Such a super good build!

Tacos and Tuesday do go good together, so much so that someone should start a tradition...... Tuesday Taco or something similar..........

I would really like to see the '59 Buick make it onto the shelves again.........

Is anyone looking into using Keith Marks' decals for the full Mach 1 treatment? I know they were designed for an old kit, but I'm wondering how well they would work on this new kit..... A deep burgundy with silver stripes would be pretty.

Hey, guys! I think I might have a little tip here that may be of use to some..... It's my spray method for painting bodies! I've got a technique, as we all do, and it's kind of been practiced enough that I can get good results pretty much every time. What I do that may be different than some is to spray my passes from the lower parts up. I'll mount the body on something that I can maneuver it with, usually a plastic cup. I spray the front grille/headlight area first, then rotate the body to one side. I'll spray each side, laying the passes like you would be laying shingles, from the bottom up......... Once both sides are coated, I tilt the body towards me and spray the trunk, roof, and front fender tops, again working up from the bottom (trunk). One benefit to using this method is, if you get a run in the paint, you won't be adding to the run by spraying more paint on to it as it runs down! Working up from a run keeps it from getting worse..... Also, spraying the tops last keeps the overspray from the sides landing on it..... Anyways, I hope my 'shingle pattern' spray method makes sense, and will hopefully help some of those trying to hone their paint skills.........

Man, those are such pretty builds! The Charger looks real, and that Tweedie Pie...........

Chas, don't show this to Bill, as he would buy it first! LoL, joking...... https://phoenix.craigslist.org/evl/cto/d/mesa-1932-ford-ardun-roadster/7711644861.html

'Wet behind the ears' used to be a phrase that described a rookie or beginner......
