- Finished PICs Well as most of my recent builds, I still have some things that need to be done. Number one is find the 8th injector stack. Then maybe change the hood color and who knows what else down the road.
- Public Service Announcement.....PIC
- On the topic of bmf - Can you clear coat over it with Testors Wet Look clear lacquer? *NM*
- Fireball's 1963 Galaxies *LINK* *PIC*
- I cannot wait for Saturday!
- Good afternoon everyone! I just finished the Moebius '54 Hornet. Turned out pretty nice I think.
- Question: Anybody get any of the Tamiya Model Magazines? Thoughts? *NM*
- Yes. Planes, tanks, motorcycles, cars, etc. It's not specialized but I like keeping up with other genres, tools, paint, etc. And you see some great modeling. *NM*
- I am sure I have a couple at home. They are a mix of different models. Very nice photos. *NM*
- Yep, also get Airfix Model World, both cover all types of models tho' I must admit I get annoyed when they add a heap of aftermarket parts on an "out of the box" build, but both mags offer lots of opportunities to see alternative building styles *NM*
- Wanted: Cutting template, instructions, or pics to turn a '61-63 Ford Pickup to a short-bed
- Franklin Mint Duesenberg Coupe' Simon story. *NM* *LINK*
- PIC I decided to paint the Falcons hood primer or flat black but before I did I decided to shoot it red just to see how it looks. Not too bad, now I am undecided again. I can still do flat black and then primer if I don't like the black. After primer I can do the white.
- CCKW #5
- Saw that Craig Breedlove passed away today. *PICS*
- 1963 F100 Unibody project, progressing ever so slowly.... *PIC*
- Thank you so much, Matt & Dawn. Received the kit in great shape, and in 3 days!!! Been looking for that kit for a long time. Lookin' forward to my next shipment. Lulu enjoyed her treat also. Thanks again. *NM*
- Something you won't see very often. *PICS*
- Off the bench......PICS......
- Hey guys anyone have access to a 1971 NHRA rule book? Specifically the stock eliminator section. Thanks in advance. *NM*
- FSM just posted a build of the Coronet convertible - with the Cragar GT+4's - I didn't see them in my box, did I miss something? Source of the wheels was unclear to me... *NM*
- Re: Petty 43 of course.1979
- FSM newsletter shows stripping chrome with Liquid Plumber. Doesn't say if it gets the lacquer undercoat though. Thoughts? (If it's safe for PVC, wouldn't it NOT affect the Lacquer??) *NM*
- Your modeling motivation is inspiring to this slacker *NM*
- Good customer service *NM*
- Nice to see your grilles in action *NM*
- Opinions needed. PICs I'm close to finishing this build and I notice that I didn't put the final coat of white on the hood. I ran out of the Racing White and I don't use that color very often. So my question is, do I buy a new can of paint that is going to set around...
- The color looks like Wimbledon White and it looks nice and even (at least in the picture) I'd leave it. *NM*
- Race cars got "field repairs" so I'd just leave it. Once the car is lettered, I bet no one would even notice. *NM*
- Just an idea... Maybe a red hood, roof, and top of body starting at top edge of the fenders. That way you'd have a hard separation line. Plus it'll pull the red from the spear. *NM*
- Flat Black hood with a couple hood pins might be a nice look. *NM*
- I would probably do flat black Terry. Most fiberglass hoods back then were flat black from the factory. *NM*
- Well, if it's budget driven, yes paint it red, but honestly, IMHO, it's gonna stick out like a sore thumb. buy the white and build a 66 Mustang! : ) *NM*
- Re: Opinions needed. My Choices: 1st-Flat Black Primer. 2nd- Red, to play off the pinstripe. *NM*
- Nice looking! *NM*
- Use a primer gray hood with hood pins as others had said. *NM*
- I would leave it, race cars that are raced are far from perfect, when you get an "accidental" issue like this, go with it! *NM*
- Agreed. When my two "rug rats" asked their mother, "What's dad doin' in the basement"? Her reply? "Playin' toys"!! True story. And I'm STILL "playin' toys"!! L.O.L. Oh, and my "rug rats"? They're 60 and 58 yrs. old now. *NM*
- Thia is the first time I've seen this vehicle. Supposedly a protype vehicle. Anyone knew of this car or seen it before? Read the sign in the first picture. *PIC*
- Anyone have an idea how well Revell sold their 1983 and 1985 Oldsmobile Cutlass kits? *NM*
- A little more progress on my '68 Coronet. *PIC*
- Did the Revell 1977 Monte Carlo in any version sell well? I wondering, if it was a good seller, maybe, just maybe, there's a chance for another 1973-1977 GM A body. I'd especially like to have a 1973-1977 Grand Prix. And all the others of course. *NM*
- Ya know those Lindberg Buick Century snap kits that are so-called "1/32" scale? I've been collecting them in diff colors. I just picked up a blue one. Now I have 3 colors. Did they come in any other colors than what I have so far? Thanks............*PIC* ......
- A couple progress pics of my '54 Hudson Hornet project.
- Visiting bmf website. Anyone try their decal paper? *NM*
- *RANT*I have a brand new sheet of bmf (yes, I bought it like 3 years ago) stored upright and flat. Went to use it... *I'm actually posting a pic with a project*
- Anyone hear of, seen, or have the Micro-Mark Brush Cam? It works through bluetooth to your smart phone. It looks extremely useful for figure painting. I could see using it for detail painting almost anything. Of course, you have to supply the steady hand. *NM*
- Another survey. How do you mix your bottled paints. Stir stick, shaking the bottle, etc.? *NM*
- When I was in my 20s, all I did was shake those enamel paint bottles from Testors. I never had any problems then. Nowadays, I must've wore out my luck. LOL! *NM*
- I use a battery powered mixer I bought from MicroMark. *NM*
- Stir. Especially metallics and 'metal' colors. *NM*
- When I airbrush, I use the mini paint shaker. For brush painting small parts or areas, I put a couple BB's in the paint bottle. *NM*
- I use both Testors bottle & Humbrol can paints, I have a 4" long nail that I use to mix/stir paint with, shaking is a waste of time. *NM*
- I stir bottle paint with small, thin craft sticks. Shaking can introduce air bubbles that'll show up when you brush the paint. (Now watch all the shakers state they've never had that happen...) *NM*
- I use a short piece of sprue put in the bottle, might have to stir first if the bottle has set a long time. *NM*
- Re: Another survey. How do you mix your bottled paints. Stir stick, shaking the bottle, etc.? *PIC*
- Survey of sorts. How do you store your bottled paint? Upright or upside down? *PIC*
- You're very welcome CD! *NM*
- Nice build. I am beginning to like the roundy round cars and this one is a great example of what i remember from my youth. *NM*
- Thanks Dan. I do try not to be like the crowd! I like different. *NM*
- Thanks Munchie. I love Willy's they are one of my favorite cars. *NM*
- Thanks Scott. The flames look more like baby making fluid then flames! *NM*
- Where are the molds for the old JD 4430, 310, and IH 1466??
- I think one of the Mint car companies made a diecast of his Olds. *NM*
- I am home now I hope to stay
- I have not been paying attention, so when is the hardtop coming out? *NM*
- Quote From the Mauldin Story....
- funny how I just totally missed it in that video. *NM*
- Them Old trucks just speak to me! That's right! We're the ones who did all the work! Thanks for Posting. *NM*
- Most OT thing ever posted, but there are a good number of military builders here: Was/is there a good F2G Corsair (the pylon racing superstar?)
- Great stuff sir...... *NM*
- I didn't or don't follow GN or Nascar but I do know some things but never knew Petty ran that car. Was there a falling out with MoPar? *NM*
- Put me out.... I'm burning up *NM*
- Weather may be breaking I can get going on my F/C collection/recovery finished... The frames are done but the bodies have to be decaled or painted. I'm not forgetting my current projects I'm still on them. PIX and thanks for looking
- I remember seeing something like this in Cliff Read's garage... *NM* *PIC*
- I agree. As long as the kits(AMT'S 1.25), had a ton of decals, who cares about some dumb oil filter or master cylinder? Huh, huh? L.O.L. *NM*
- Well, due to WW II vehicles being mainly limited to military equipment or Packard staff cars, maybe we could consider Olds 442s to be 42s or 44s? I know there are a bunch of them among you guys. I would especially like to see your '66s and '67s. There will be lots of
- Mike..check your emails, I send a couple of pics with that engine in a JoHan 63 Olds. *NM*
- That light blue Dodge 1954-55c C series pickup looks brand new! Thanks for the pics. *NM*
- "Sweet Home" ;^) *NM*
- I really don't know. I like these resin copy builds, but the original grill and headlights is terrible, practically ruins the build for me. I'd love to build some with the corrected grill/headlights, but I don't know if I could justify it financially...............would
- I like it, very nice. Is it the Salvinos JR kit? *NM*
