Greg Cullinan Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Picked it up at the local show I was selling at. Serious blast from the past! "The Man", he has lived up to his nickname. That kit is worth a few pesos.
Racephoto1 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Nice find on the bike. De Coster was the man when it came to MX.
Modlbldr Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I remember when you weren't anybody if you didn't have a Roger DeCoster bicycle. Guess that's why I was a nobody in school. But man, did I try to convince my parents to buy me one. Oh well, somehow I lived without one....My childhood was sooo rough (he says sarcastically). Nice kit, BTW. Later-
cobraman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Got yesterday. Bought the paint because Harry and a few other guys seem to have good luck with it so I thought I would give it a try.
cobraman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I also got these magazines/comics. Used to buy them years ago. Found them in a thrift/collectable store. At 3 bucks a pop I had to buy them.
Tom Geiger Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I also got these magazines/comics. Used to buy them years ago. Found them in a thrift/collectable store. At 3 bucks a pop I had to buy them. Wow! A blast from the past. I remember having that issue with the backwards Barracuda on it! I used to buy every issue when I was a kid. I practiced drawing cars from the line drawings of the cartoons.
cobraman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 I cheated and used tracing paper to trace the cool cars. : )

I also got these magazines/comics. Used to buy them years ago. Found them in a thrift/collectable store. At 3 bucks a pop I had to buy them. The only complaint I have about Rustoleum is the dang spray nozzles are garbage ! Haven't tried these Ultra Cover paints yet , please let us know how they work for you . Also those magazines really bring back memories of buying them back in the 60's and learning to draw cars from them ! Since I'm here , I got this kit on the bay a couple of weeks ago for less than a new kit at my LHS ! Missing the tires but otherwise complete . Now I can build the '82 sitting in my garage !
racedriver25 Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 This showed up today from Micro-Mark. Havent done anything with it yet, but should work fine.Should compliment my lathe nicely.
Belugawrx Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Got yesterday. Bought the paint because Harry and a few other guys seem to have good luck with it so I thought I would give it a try. I tried these paints they are very heavy (quantity of paint) and take forever!!! to dry
cobraman Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 Well, my first test with that paint was not pretty. Those nozzles throw a lot of paint very quick. I ruined the hood on the 56 Ford I'm building but that's an easy fix. I should have know better than to shoot a kit part.
Belugawrx Posted January 28, 2014 Posted January 28, 2014 sorry I didnt catch you sooner It takes about a week and a half before you can touch it and even then no presuure on the model or a fingerprint will develop

mademan Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just got home from work today, after 2 weeks.... few parcels waiting for me.
lordairgtar Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just got home from work today, after 2 weeks.... few parcels waiting for me. What is that little sedan on top of the Chevy Panel box? VW Variant notch maybe?
mademan Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 yep VW notchback. been looking for one forever! scored a heck of a deal on it.
slusher Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Got yesterday. Bought the paint because Harry and a few other guys seem to have good luck with it so I thought I would give it a try. I have been using some rustoleum normal covrage and I like it. I don't think I want any part of the double coverage. if the pant is thick and you have a good grip rustoleum and krylon will leave a finger print or prints no matter how long it dries....
slusher Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just got home from work today, after 2 weeks.... few parcels waiting for me. Nice score..
ChrisBcritter Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Got a replacement hood for my '64 Coupe deVille today - some Testors paint remover cleaned it up perfectly. One of these days I'm going to repaint it gray with a black top and interior and add Illinois plates to match the car from Cooley High.
disabled modeler Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Just got home from work today, after 2 weeks.... few parcels waiting for me. Those wagons are SWEET Mike...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a wagon nut..very cool!
mademan Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 I love wagons too! got a 1:1 Hemi Magnum wagon, and on the farm to eventually be rebuilt a 62 Nova wagon.
o-man Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Got yesterday. Bought the paint because Harry and a few other guys seem to have good luck with it so I thought I would give it a try. If you get the "regular" Rustoleum, it doesn't go on so thick. That Porsche cabrio I posted last week was sprayed with it. Now it still comes out thicker than say Duplicolor, but once you get used to it, it isn't bad. Takes about 5 hours to dry, but forms a heck of a shine.
cobraman Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the tip. Perhaps I bought the wrong formula. I ain't lovin' this stuff so far.
o-man Posted January 29, 2014 Posted January 29, 2014 Thanks for the tip. Perhaps I bought the wrong formula. I ain't lovin' this stuff so far. I think the 2x is similar to Krylon paint and primer in one. You couldn't spray a light coat of that stuff for love nor money. I have an almost full can of that in yellow that's going in the trash
