Ahhh, you're trying to come up with something to simulate braided hoses/lines? As Mike said, Pro Tech has the best, and if you look to the right (at least on MY screen) there is an advertisement which contains a link. So much for the electonics wizardry.

Perrys has some great looking stuff. He has a 48 Ford coupe I would love to have & the price is very good, considering it's resin. I emailed him bout a month ago, no hear. As advised in this thread, I looked for his product @ another supplier. That supplier told me that he had sort of an agreement with Perry to carry his stuff in the U.S. Perry never came thru. U.S. supplier sez he's tried to contact him by phone &...

Rapley; Hogman is right about the year of the trailer. I used to have one until someone offered me more for the kit than I could refuse for it. The idea of building it as a short haul around town delivery trailer for a car lot or dealer would be OK. A single axle tractor would be fine but any tractor without a sleeper would be fine. That would fit in with a car dealer or used car guy using the cheapest transportation posible...

 If it's you're first car i'd suggest a few light silver lines to indicate a scratch or three

rabidscoobie-Hi, I am going to keep this very simple.How many modelers use TESTORS or other brand liquid glue? What do you do with the empties?? I have for years ,taken three small bottles of TESTORS paint and put it in these bottles AFTER they,re cleaned out!They have the brush thats true.You cut the brush holder out and viola! paint bottles that seal tightly time after time(don,t forget to clean the top BEFORE you put the top back on! )Ive...

 The original kit of the Maverick by Jo-Han was a 2 in 1, Stock or Funny Car.  Once the tooling was changed to a ProStock, the stock parts were removed.  I don't know if Jo-Han continued to make promos after the tooling was changed or not.  I've never seen a Comet promo.  I know that there was a drag Comet, with what looked like a stock body (promo).  The hood didn't...

No worries about that Mike....I'll still be posting on here! Just not as much....I definitley won't be away from models for 10 years! haha

 im pretty happy with the price of models and model parts now,when i was younger any 1.24 scale car was £20+ over here(which is probably why i ended up doing aeroplanes as they were cheaper) and there was much less variation of models,there was almost nothing of japanese cars it was all classic american muscle or boring british cars. ive just picked up six brand new kits and 2 sets of wheels and garage/mechanic sets for £70 or...

I think you are all quite insane. Well done.  Keep it up.

Right now I have 8 WIP's going on. Much like a lot of other people, I always do the bodywork, base coat, decals, and clear coats first. I often times will let them cure for 1-2 months before polishing out. With this many kits going on at one time, I always have something that can be worked on while another body is curing. If you see the "on-the-bench" below, I try to build a variety of kits at any time, so that I...
