Fantastic work in every regard.

Obviously your system works. I'll show my ignorance here: Why such a high pressure? I ask because most of the figures I've seen for airbrushing bodies use =/- 20 PSI.

Very nice work. As someone else mentioned, the paints you used give a very realistic looking finish.

Nice job on this. I thought AMT did a decent job on these, and I've got a few waiting to be built. I only got some basic assembly done on the first one (March 88C Dominos car) because there didn't seem to be a lot of pics/info available about the engine etc. Curious if you had any similar issues.

Thinking about making a change in phone and provider. Long story short, their lowest package rate for one phone is close to $100.00 a month. Anybody here a customer of theirs?

Great set! I could look at these all day.

I've heard this can be a tough kit to build, so bonus points for getting results like this.

Love that L-88 hood scoop. Can't wait to see how this turns out.

Nice find, thanks!

Every once in a while I come across a build that has incredibly well done hard lines (I assume beading wire) for things like fuel injection, and I'm curious if there are tools I can buy to get similar results, as opposed to winging it and ending up with a less than authentic appearance. Links would be appreciated if you have them.

Bottle cap indicates it's a lighter brown, but there don't seem to be a lot of kits painted with it when I search with Google Images. Love to see some pics if you've got 'em.

I do electronic payments on some accounts and the invoices occasionally end up in the Spam file, so I have to check everything over before dumping anything.

For the most part I like it, but there are some companies (Warby Parker, American Home Warranty etc) whose emails show up in my Spam section every day, despite my use of the "blocking" option. Do they have dozens of ways around the blocker? I'd like them to be permanently blocked, but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Very nice work! May I ask what actual (ex: Model Master #1645) paints you used for the engine and red oxide chassis?

Here's a demo of the chrome paints from Green Stuff World

Got an older fridge that's been fairly reliable up to now. It used to keep things very cold, but over the last week or so things are only cool. The adjustment had been set at the highest point, so nowhere to go there. Is there some component that could be serviced to bring the lower temps back? I really can't spring for a new fridge at the moment.

It was a very brief "conversation" on the Spotlight Hobbies board. IIRC only two people were involved, and no pictures were posted. Looks like someone has posted a pic of the actual item for us.

Thanks for the response. Got a link to where you bought it?

I came across a brief discussion of a Gundam chrome pen on another model car board. One member mentioned its tip is cut at an angle, which might come in handy in certain situations. Another said the finish was more durable than Molotow. Anyone here used one of these? Is the chrome finish as good as Molotow's? Are they as expensive?

He's asking if Tamiya's acrylic clear will work over Testors enamel. I'll let someone who's tried that respond.

I don't have specific years but I've seen some late model Ford pickups in a number of parking lots with an orange-red shade of paint that always catches my eye. It's nowhere as orange-y as Poppy Red, but probably right where orange and red meet on the color chart. If you know the 1:1 color I'm talking about, what hobby paint best replicates that shade?

No, as I mentioned above I spotted these on the cover of an old ET catalog. There was something about the picture that kept me from copy/pasting it, so I had to dig for another picture.

Obviously I have no background in this area, but seeing this picture prompted my question. These are ET Blackspoke wheels (better pictures available if you pull up pics of their old catalogs - I just couldn't seem to "grab" those photos) Are designs copyrighted? Despite their horrible condition, you can tell that these were a direct knock-off of the Keystone wheel. Then again, there have been multiple versions of the Cragar S/S too, so...
