Re: model cars... Reply #16 – December 15, 2004, 06:21:39 PM Ok..I only have one car model these days...it's one of the IMSA Mustangs. There are no decals on it because I had a tragic accident with the clear coat. Had it all decaled up and pretty and put the sealing gloss coat on it. As it dried it clouded up. At that time I realized I had used enamel thinner with the acrylic clear....oops It peeled off in sheets. After I got it all cleaned back up I just decided on a body in white. I have two more of these kits and I'll do another in full regalia.I dechromed all the parts under the hood as well as the wheels...I hate chrome... Quote Selected

Re: model cars... Reply #21 – December 16, 2004, 08:36:31 AM Well, I forced myself back into it a bit a couple months ago by going to a local show/contest. I entered a couple of the planes just for shiznits. The "spotted" one took a third . I've gotten busy again and of course been pulled away again. My problem is I can rarely build a kit "out of the box"..and I'll get bogged down in the details. (For example, on that unfinished Phantom...I scratch-built mini recon cameras you can see through the ports) I know how things should" look (esp on cars) and it makes it hard for me to let them pass knowing that they're not right. I've got to dig up another one of these 83 drag car Tbirds for tail-lights..the originals are toast, but the bulk of that build will be from the 87 kit. I've been eyeing my euro-Capri or the VW Scirocco as one of the next cars I do...I have LOTS of kits...100+ from what I remeber, so I have plenty to keep me busy.I need to crank up the airbrush and start shooting paint on those two planes I have sitting there. It's a big boost to the motivation when they start to get color on them.... Quote Selected

model cars... Reply #25 – March 23, 2006, 11:55:25 AM I picked up a candy-apple red '63 T-bird Sport Roadster Hot Wheels at Zellers the other day. Too awesome. Kind of like this, but darker red, with a different black striping design. Quote Selected
