89AKurt Posted December 31, 2021 Posted December 31, 2021 Digging the Salinas Special. Considering you custom built all these, would say you were productive! Nice work on all.

Happy New Year to all..... -RRR WOW! outstanding work..What do you use for clear coat? and is it from a rattle can or airbrush..Real sweet work..
Claude Thibodeau Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Hi RRR! All are great, but I can't help notice that, like yours truly, you have a soft spot for the 53 Stude! Can't argue with that! Bravo! CT
bobthehobbyguy Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 You definitely had a productive year. Very nice work.
Lordmodelbuilder Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 You killed it this year with all those awesome builds!!

Wayne- thanks for your kind words. I use Minwax Polyurethane clear gloss. I shoot it through my airbrush. The advantage to this clear enamel is that it won't craze decals as many lacquers will and since it's enamel it can be applied over any paints. It is 'self-leveling' and lays down real smooth. I'm told it can take a buff and polish, but I never do that so I don't have any first-hand knowledge of that. The disadvantage is that it will never get as hard as lacquer will, so one has to be careful handling your parts once they're dry. I clamped parts together once cleared and the clamp left marks. Just be careful. A 1/2 pint can is about $6.00 at Lowes. I don't think Home Depot carries it. -RRR
espo Posted January 1, 2022 Posted January 1, 2022 Beautiful collection of Race Cars and Street Rods. Great details on each one.
Plowboy Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Some very cool hot rods Rodney! I love the '32 sedan! That model is so well done! It really makes me want to build one!
larman Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 An excellent lot there! All are great looking models!
TooOld Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 (edited) They're all beautifully done as usual Rodney ! The Salinas Special really grabs my attention , clean lines and simplicity at it's best . How did I miss this one !?! Edit : Just looked back and found your original post on the Salinas Special . . . nice ! Edited January 6, 2022 by TooOld
David G. Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Each one is fantastic and such a great variety. The Funny Car Bug is probably my favorite, I think I remember your WIP on this one. David G.
stavanzer Posted February 22, 2022 Posted February 22, 2022 Is that 'Salinas Special" a resin kit? It is awesome!
bisc63 Posted February 23, 2022 Posted February 23, 2022 Love the green on "Mr.Speed", but all look really good. Excellent model building. Hows about posting links to the WIP threads when you post several pieces like this? Not just you, I think it would be a good idea in general!
