[Dr. Cranky]

Nick, that Crown Victoria looks like it is ready for paint, looks very smooth.

I've been out and about all day,just getting home. SO my bench has seen no action at all today (well,there may have been a life and death struggle between a spider and fly,but I digress...),but I may yet go out there,it's a pleasantly cool evening and the lighting isn't that bad,LOL!

Same here, been busy day, It was my daughters first bday party, so no time to work, but now everyone is gone, dinner on the way, time to get something done, here is hoping it be model related

OK, here's what I got done today. I hate doing sparkplug wires, this is what slows down my builds so much! I know this is just a basic step in detailing but, I'm still trying to master it. All I got done was three wires so far. Wish I could go back to no wires but, it's too late for me. I dread it every time. Please, please, don't tell me I need to do brake lines and hoses! The Texaco truck has been on hold for over two hours, now it's time to get back to work.

Thank you

Doc, it received a squirt of color this morning, humidity has been low do to the cool weather. Anyway here is a sneak peak. Many Tiny fragile decals involved in this process, not like doing my '57 TMP car.

Back to work, still need to do the Right side.

how it looked when i woke up this morning, this is pretty messy for me, clean to others. had to straighten up, could understand how i found anything last night while i was working. lol

[Chuck Most]

Trying to get a master for resin casting finished, but I won't say what it is or who will be casting it.

(Though I will say it's not a '57 Chevy and I'll not be the one casting it.)

I've been out of the hobby for a while. I moved into a new house, got married, etc. So today I decided to get my sh*t together and start working on some old projects. But first I needed a bench, so I built a simple 5'x2' bench in our spare bedroom. I also set up my lathe in the garage and purchased a mill attachment for it. I pulled out my old Viper drift car to finish as well. I'll hopefully be done this week some time.

I like this, too. As I'm in the process of re-doing my bedroom, I may borrow this design for a workbench.

Nice work Nick and Charlie, these are going to be fine models when finished.

[Nick Winter]

Thanks Cranky, Jonathan, yes Toronto Metropolitan PD.

hey Nick nice builds man. Does that frog tape work well on models?

[Nick Winter]

Never tried it, it's an empty container that I'm storing a whole engine in till I can put it together.

Yes, Frog Tape does work on models. I used it successfully when masking off interior panels & seats. You have to burnish it down really well, then cut out what you want masked with an XActo knife, then reburnish the cut edge (I used a toothpick). Paint away... I removed the tape after the paint dried (lacquer) and had a nice, even, straight edge, with absolutely NO paint bleed.

Just a bunch of junk on mine this weekend!

[rmvw guy]

Here's what I'm working on today. I started my first community build on the AMT '32 Roadster Pro Shop 3 in 1 kit. This is as clean as the bench ever gets.

By the looks of the glasses sitting on the work bench, I'd say that's Walt's workbench, not Byans.
