Decided to redo the hood grills on TDP body. I used Alclad II Chrome lexan spray for the hood grills, and then sprayed the black backing on too soon, or while the chrome was still wet, that left dark spots in the top left corners of both grills. Didn't want to have to mask that all off and respray t...

Only one way to do that paint job justice and that’s an airbrush. https://i.imgur.com/AHVIPYe.jpg The blue over the black does look like it would require an airbrush. If there was some way to adjust the tip on the Tamiya black spray, to get it to focus better in a tighter line, might be able to get...

"... it's a serious commitment..." Nah, not really. Like a good set of hex drivers, an air brush is just another tool in your arsenal (sorry for the mixed metaphors :oops: ). And, you don't need to spend 300 bucks to get good results. Go for it, man! :wink: :D :D I would really like a pro...

Do not despair, the kit comes will a full decal sheet so you'll only need to shoot one color. :D I haven't researched this yet but the blue sorta looks like Tamiya PS-16. Maybe those who have made a replica can chime-in and provide some guidance. That does look like PS-16 Metallic Blue. https://i.i...

I recently purchased the least expensive and most complete kit I could find, with the best ratings on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YNG21U https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91W2-svxZSL._AC_SL1500_.jpg Got some cleaner for it too. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BN77JPWP I shoul...

Feels like a long way to go still. Side and rear windows left to trim and install.


Put in an hour today.




Another hour left to go.

Need the booth and some paints in order to get started. Might be another couple weeks before I can get to this. https://www.amazon.com/Master-Airbrush-Portable-Lighting-Extension/dp/B00NLQ019A Kit looks really complete. Awesome that the compressor is quiet, a lot of them are loud to the point of be...

I know it's a little early to tell, overspray film is still on, but is there a noticeable difference in the bumpers vs the hood grills? Or did you use Alclad on the hood as well? Chuck I originally used Alclad II on the bumpers, window trim, gas cap, and hood grills, and then had to redo the hood g...

This week, it's restoring a 1987 Apple Macintosh SE with new capacitors, and a BlueSCSI v2 hard drive replacement board, for faster operation with an SD card. https://i.imgur.com/Q30DeDA.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ABfJWKR.jpg Had to open the original hard drive as it was stuck and not spinning, pushing...

I'm gonna break the rules and post a picture that I've never actually taken. Sorry, I couldn't help myself. :oops: This image is from Google maps. This "T" shaped bridge is the exact spot where the Enola Gay dropped "Little Boy" on August 6th, 1945. hiroshima.jpg That domed stru...

About another hour to go still.

I got my official Associated e-mail letting me know that DS tires and wheels are back in stock. by the time I checked the link both were sold out. Are the new tires and wheels the same size as the vintage ones? I got that same In Stock email about the DS wheels and tires, yesterday at 2:05pm PST, I...
