Excellent work on this one, Pierre. I just had a good read through this entire build. Impressive work all around.

Good to see you back at it, Bruce. I'm enjoying this build.

Oh yeah, that's looking good. Lovely colour for the E Type. Ride height looks perfect.

Welcome to the forum, Simo. Interesting progression of building skills illustrated there. Your builds are looking very good, and your latest work looks very clean. Nice paint work. As you have seen, there is a lot of great info to be gleaned from this forum, and lots of helpful people. Enjoy the forum, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

Carved from wood!? That is some stunning work, Gary. Very impressive. Proper model building, that. Thanks for posting the collection. A lovely group of fine race cars. It never fails to amaze me just how big modern race cars are when compared to vintage racers.

Cool build, Rich. These old Japanese kits are interesting, and probably a bit of a chore to get together right. Great to see all of the included features functioning. Nice work.

Cool project. Very creative. I think the pig needs a tail.

It's coming along beautifully, Andrew. Just catching up with this build, spent the last hour learning how to scratch a Maserati mill.

It looks like something The Cat in the Hat, The Lorax, and all The Whos would go to church in.

That thing is seriously awesome. Just dripping with period coolness. I'm really digging the freaky mill. All round very cool build. Nice detailing and use of washes. I love it!

There is the 'Shows and Contests' section of the forum, near the bottom of the main forum page. Also, the magazine regularly posts announcements of upcoming shows.

Does this stuff have a name, or do I have to actually click on that video link?

Oh yes, I'd build a Crosley. Lots of cool build opportunities there.

Good looking Rambler. Always preferred the 'B' scheme. Nice work.

I am interested to hear the responses to this question. I used Tamiya acrylic for years, but as you said, it requires heavy coats to achieve a pleasing red. It also never hardens. These two qualities make it impossible to do a decent job of masking and detailing a tail light lens, especially when the clear orange has the same qualities. When the Tamiya lacquer bottles showed up, I was eager to try the clear paints, but disappointed to find they behave exactly the same as the acrylics. I have lately been seeking alternatives with better colour saturation that go on thinner and will properly dry/harden to allow masking. Has anyone tried the Alclad clear red, orange, or amber? I am curious to know how they perform relative to the Tamiya clear colours.
