gtx6970 replied to kacitgirl's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
We are on a similar path I have several hundred kits in the pile I want to thin that down to some kind of realistic goal in mind Keeping most of the drag car kits and some late 50s annuals or stock releases I want to build that aren't avail today The rest is going away and Im looking for shows to set up a table at and try to move some of this -
Best to wait a few days before masking for two tones on any paint with any tape. Been there and done that. Will not do it again. I've done a couple two tone paint jobs recently Used Tamiya tapes on both with no issues Waiting about 3 days between colors to tape them up

nice . thanks for the pics -
Agreed 100% When ever I take a kit out of the box , ANY kit , old or new - newer I lay everything out on the counter and make sure its flat Then really look the body and related components to make sure there's not warpage I'll do a very basic dry assembly of major components , Body , hood , glass , chassis etc etc Nothing worse than finding out AFTER its all painted the car doesn't sit flat and square to the surface

Looks killer I built this same kit about 15 years ago I think

Nice I built one back when i was a kid Built it again about 8 - 9 years ago. 2nd one turned out much better
-
I decided to try and push my luck , try option C Cut 2 tiny pieces of plastiruc and superglued them in place. And BMF over them. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself The vent wing frames are the new Fusion Chrome paint. Applied with a very tiny sharp tip brush
-
My least favorite part of modeling . The BMF work I've actually been putting this off doing for a few days So I'm quite glad that's out of the way Need to figure out how or if I want to attempt to try and fill the slot in the door for the drivers side mirror I completely missed before they were painted Options are A- leave it and have a hole B- install the mirrors which Im almost positive an A990 car never had? C - Attempt to fill them with tiny pieces of plastic and make a 'faux pas ' mirror delete plate ?
-
Rare? Not really. Desirable? Yes. Its a great kit Expensive? All depends on the buyer. Most I've seen actually sell are in the $40-50 range I sold 2 of them last year. One molded white. The other that blue green color Neither one brought over $60 and I had aftermkt decals in both One each Mickey Thompson and Keeling Clayton sheets

nice,'' I have this same kit , only convertible I started the redo a few months back. But Im not happy with the paint result . SO it sits until I either decide to strip or. Or just suck it up and push it across the finish line -
Had some time this morning so finished off the 2 interiors. Sanded the molded in radio out and put some aftermkt gauge decals in there place. Column auto for the Burgess car on the left 4spd for the Leal car on the right
