How to remove tape adhesive?
Canuk replied to Ben's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Goo gone melts plastic. Don't ask how I know... -
Love it! I am in the process of doing one of these stock but yours is awesome. Where did you get the velocity stacks?

Airbrushing / thinning / rattle cans / primer questions?
Canuk replied to CEKPETHO BCE's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Lots of times the acrylic is thin enough to spray out of the jar. Should be a milk consistency. Just thicker than water. -
What size compressor do you use to air-brush?
Canuk replied to seeker589's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I use this one as it is really quiet. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200354872_200354872 Works great with the tank. -
Extremely nice build! Looks real to me.

As a new old modeler I agree 100% I can tell when I have done something well and to my abilities but contructive comments are always helpful. Someone posted a suggestion to use BMF after seeing one of my builds and I tried it. Made a huge difference even though I messed it up in some areas. I have built 8 kits in the last couple monthe and out of those only 3 I am happy with, but I learn each time from my mistakes. I see these advanced builders chopping and scratch building and I want to do that too but know I can't...YET.

WOW very nice paint job

I say real. If not the detailing on the rear view mirror is great,

Got the body in primer and set the base for the flames. The colors are Testors Acrylics and I am going to seal them with Future before masking. Thanks for looking.

While waiting for the paint to harden on my Ferrari GTO I picked up AMT 62 Buick. Not a whole lot of detail in the kit but I wanted to try my hand at a lowrider. Used the wheels and tires from a 57 Chevy kit and also the front and rear axles. Had to cut out the molded in rear axle and sand down the front to get the ride height right. Here are some mock up pics. Not going to do much detailing on the chassis as I want to see what I can do for a custom paint job. Thanks for looking and ideas and suggestions always welcome.

Great build! Things sure have changed for the better. Fun isn't it?

Hey thanks for the suggestions on a compressor with a tank. Picked up a Paasche H airbrush set and this compressor. Northern Industrial Airbrush Compressor with Single Cylinder Motor, Model# 1202S152 For ten bucks go the 2 year repolacement warranty. Now to learn airbrushing!

Those spots should rub right out Nice job! -
If you were going to buy an air compressor from Harbor Freight which would you buy? 3 gal oilless No tank quiet Complete kit The last one I know has an airbrush but I won't count on using it. Would like to pair with a good single action airbrush possible a Paasche H series. Thanks for your opinions.

Love it! Your build inspires me to take my time on mine and try to do it right.

My first visit to the local scale model club and they were having a raffle. Got this for 20 bucks.

Hey Paul what do you use to glue it down with?

Ok my second build here for you to look at. Stock kit built 69 Charger R/T with Duplicolor Paint. I did sand off the soft top as I wanted a hard top. Polished with Maguires Scratch X ane then a light coat of Martin Guitar polish (all I had). I am happy with the paint and the way it turned out so far. Thanks for looking!

fuel lines for my Freightliner FLC
Canuk replied to phantomfan's topic in WIP: Model Trucks: Big Rigs and Heavy Equipment
There will be a main feed line and a return line that come off the top of one tank. Sometimes the return is on one tank and the feed is on another. between both tanks at the bottom there will be an equalizer line either at the front or rear end of the tank. -
How do you get so much detail in the interiors? Heck I can't even see the gauges on them to even try to do that. Very nice build. Excellent skills.
-
Very clean build. I really like the looks.
