I found two old kits at an antique store a few years ago factory sealed. Gave $25 for each. Opened one when I got home, closed it back up and subsequently gave them away. Very nice kits, lots of beautiful wood, but just estimating several thousand parts. Would have made excellent models but I...

Picked this up at antique store. Rough shape. Murphys Oil soap wash down. Watco oil finish. Replaced right side glass. Puck lights from Bezo's 5 & dime.

Knocked mine over twice. Made a foam holder to prevent it again.

That's still better than having to repaint and apply all the stickers individually. Went to RCR once, they spent 3 weeks prepping each body only to have DE destroy it in the first 5 laps. Dude was hard on racecars.

I use a NEOECO SJ83 I bought from Amazon. I feel it is perfect for model painting. Probably not suitable for artistic work. 15 to 20 psi spray pressure. Thin Tamiya paints 50/50 with Mr Color 400 thinner. When done spray one spray cup full 91% isopropyl alcohol then commercial windshield washer...

Well I got it finished. Not happy with the outcome. Thought I was OK after clear coat to fix masking issues. Clearcoat after decaling caused some of the decals to crack and wrinkle. Only the ones with a lot of clear spaces. My assumption is they were not completely cured, waited 24 hours, or...

Thank you

Got the Italeri Bugatti T35B 1/12 scale on order at LHS. Working on converting Italeri paint codes to Tamiya and some are a real stretch. Can find Vallejo compatible. My question is can I use Vallejo as Tamiya, same thinners and such. Curtis

Color shift update. Went to Wallyworld this morning and picked up a can of Rustoleum blue color shift paint. Painted a couple spoons, 2 coats gloss black, let dry, 3 coats color shift, let dry. 2 coats gloss clear. Not I impressed. Beautiful metallic blue color, but no shift in color. Maybe on...

72 240Z. Looked like this.

Was at Hobby Lobby with SWMBO today and saw Testors has a color shift paint. The ones I saw were very small spray cans for $11.00. I have the Tamiya 1/12 Tyrell P34 F1 car and do not like the blue color for the ELF livery. I am thinking of taking some artistic liberties with the build and...

PATIENCE Grasshopper

She is the gremlin. Have to secure everything when done or parts will be missing.

Saved it, scuffed with 3500 sanding pad and sprayed clear. Decaling and another clesrcoat in a few days.

Here's mine

Thank you Littlemarten. My plan is a light scuffing to smooth it out then spray with clear. If it's OK I'll decal and spray clear again. The chassis is beautiful so I strive on. Curtis
