Just wanted to show you guys how the silver looks that I'll be painting this......... Just need to let the clear dry, then I can proceed.

I like that, Mike man! Just listened to it all the way through....... Is Sugar Cane Harris the group? I'd like to find more of their stuff..........

Warden had it in for Cool Hand.

The Bradford Pear trees are blooming here in the complex...... They make a mess, but they're nice to see!

That's a pretty dog! I'm wondering something.... is it okay to call this breed a 'miniature Collie'? Are they like Collies at all? Some breeds, the miniature is the same dog (Bull Terriers, for instance), while other breeds, they are completely different (Min-Pin vs Doberman).......

We're in primer! There was pretty much zero prep needed on the body. I did carve the door lines some and gave it a good scrub before primer....

Nowadays you need a big truck to pull the 40' trailer that hauls your mower.

Taillights and rear bumper....... Each light is four pieces. I just hope I got the lenses in correctly!

or maybe repair the tire, then repaint it in a rubber black?

I've seen some paint jobs done in DupliColor 'Metal Cast' paint that looked really good for a candy paint. The warning I've heard the most was be careful of what clear you put over it.......

(sorry..... too slow!)

Comedian Martin Short was Ed Grimley on SNL, a skit character later made into a cartoon.

The Revell '29 Ford pickup 3-n-1 kit has a very nice set of wide whites with the rears taller than the fronts......

Manifold Absolute Pressure and Mass Air Flow are a couple of automotive acronyms.

DupliColor makes a clear in their 1K line that is pearl..... Maybe if you have trouble obtaining a pearl paint like you want, you could just shoot the pearl clear over a solid green. I use the 1K ultra gloss, but haven't tried the pearl clear, yet. It's a really good clear, and it comes in the big aerosol can, so it lasts a while.....

I remember that show! Used to watch it and the Rescue Rangers every day........ I wonder if there's a kit of a plane that's close to the Sea Duck, one that could be made to look like it?

Front side marker lights are amber, rears are red.....

Sharp dog........ and good breeds!

Mouth harps don't do anything but twang.....

Les, man.... Have you thought about just sealing up what's on the walls with an oil-based primer? Once that dried, you could float everything (yes, the whole wall...) with the joint compound until it was smooth...... Then you could just sand, prime, and paint.

Teenager me was lucky enough to have both art and auto shop as classes, both of which have been discontinued in schools.

Rhyme doesn't have to exist in prose poetry.

Cool! I wonder if anyone makes a decal set for Alpina graphics? I want to get another one of these kits and at least the under hood detail stuff for it...... I wanted to get a feel for the kit first, but now that I have it, it's such a good kit that there wouldn't have been any problems with the detail-up stuff.......

Cool of you to join in, Kurt! This is a delightful little kit......... Do you have the door cards, too?

These are really cool! I've wanted to take up making lamps and clocks as another hobby...... Besides the basic kits, what kind of tools would be needed? I'm guessing something to solder with?
