models... not super


When

Recommended Posts

Thanks man. Im really enjoying working on this at night. Helps me wind down before bed, ya know?

 

i totally agree with this statement.

 

i did a shelby gt 500 in 2007 - it was a cold winter and i was mad broke going to school. so i racked paints and bought a model.

 

i never realized how meditative it could be. i think i will buy another model and start, i still have all the paints - Kustom Kolor

I've been kinda lurking this thread for a bit now. Really like what you guys do, its crazy to have that much patience and dedication. All the pieces look amazing. That wagon up there is unreal. How could i get into this, like places to buy, what kits, and without breaking the bank.

working on a 66 Riviera right now, first model ever, spent about 35 hours so far. tried to paint it candy green and messed up, had to strip it down twice, 3rd times a charm... i hope... gonna lay down the metallic base again tonight. stoked to post some pics when its done.

 

yall prolly know about this but, best way to strip paint off a model and not damage it is brake fluid, works amazing. just soak it in there for 5 minutes and scrub off the paint with a old toothbrush.

Is that your chopper build? 1/48 ?

 

user01, post some pics of the progress as well. The LR version or the stock version?

 

while we're on the subject of stripping paint off models, I hate plugging commercial products but these also work; PURPLE POWER, CASTROL SUPER CLEAN, and your favorite OVEN CLEANER in this situation

 

Always wear gloves and eye protection while handling this sht in a well ventilated area
