Daniel Peterson Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 those wheels look like a set I gave you! So, they come with the rake already installed?! I thought A/R stood for "American Racing", only to find it's for "Arter Rake". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Wyatt Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 If you don't rescribe the doors in it will be easier to polish the paint! Seriously though that is gonna be one cool wagon! Keep us updated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willysfan Posted December 1, 2006 Share Posted December 1, 2006 Not to push another publication here, but we all do read more than one mag I'm sure. The Oct 2006 issue of ScaleAuto has an article on almost the same subject, they made a two door wagon from four door. Has very good directions on scribing door lines and the details.

cruz Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 In my opinion those lines should be scribed specially if the color will be light, nothing beats the look of a model with every line scribed. I use the back of a number 11 x-acto blade to do this with a lot of patience specially if it is a resin body, don't force the blade at any moment just let it do it's job and after you are done before and after priming just fill the lines with testors exhaust buffing metalizer, once you touch those lines capillary action will draw the paint right into the scribed lines. Prime the body at the end again and once you start painting I am positive you will like the results :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
