Ohhh, that was a sweet paint job! Seems like I'm getting into the green hues lately.... Or is it because I've seen some green cars here? What is it? Tamiya, Testors, or?? See, the thing is, I also have a '59 Caddy project sitting, not sure what to paint it. This gave me some ideas!

tabsscale1, not sure about the 3 hour drive? would like to go, got a pretty busy scheduel in the next few months. if u come to papillion in a couple weeks, u will see it there along with a few others i have built

Todd! Hey man what's up?

Andy, great job on the interior so far. Love that green.

And yep, bmf is great for masking. Another trick I've found very useful in some situations is to paint the bmf itself to use as an insert. Comes in real handy for those areas that have tricky foiling to do too, since you can just hit the high spots real quick to remove the paint and expose the foil. Just one to stick in the back of the brain to use when you find the right spot.

Thanks gluhead. I've used that technique before and it works great. If u guys don't know yet, I've posted this car under glass as it is finished

Hey Chris doing just fine hoping to get a model done for the 26th but been sick all week and just can'tget motivated on it.

I use BMF as a mask sometimes as well but here lately Can't get anywhere to buy it and don't usually want to buy it of the internet as I like to look at it to see if the package doesn't have any damage to it.
