Default Model Updates

Been working on some more models. One is of a '69 Charger that I am building for my friend. The other is a S-10. They are both going to be pro street. Let me know what you think so far. I made the rear frame of the S-10 out of rectangle plastic. I also made the shocks. Had a guy at work turn some NOS bottles for my truck. I am also making a cowl induction hood for the S-10. Hopefully they will all turn out good.

How ironic that you posted that Sinic. I have not had time to work on models for a long time now. Just this weekend I started work on a 1968 Dodge Charger. Right now, I only have pics of the body. I managed to paint the interior and chassis, along with the engine. I will post more when I take them but for now...

that's a clean metal flake, wasn't there a factory color similar to that blue?

Thanks.

Yes, in 1968 Dodge offered Light Blue Metallic (color code UU1). This color was reserved specifically for the Charger, Coronet, and the Dart. The Plymouth division called this color Frost Blue Metallic. Bright Blue Metallic (color code QQ1), the famous "B5 Blue", and Dark Blue Metallic (color code EE1) were also offered. My paint is supposed to represent Light Metallic Blue.

I'm trying to do as much research as possible on this car. To me, it makes building them more enjoyable.

You should make a how-to video when it comes to spray painting, that's good stuff. I have a model that i bought like 3 years ago that I haven't gone pass taking it out of the box. I need to work on it but i'm literally afraid of screwing it up on the paint. It's a model of a 1999 Shelby Series 1. I'm going to paint it flat black with clearcoat pinstripes (it's what I was going to do with my real mustang).

i remember when i was really in to building models, i would make a stand out of a wire coat hanger then tape the body to the top of the stand on the underside of the models roof. that way you don't have to hold it, and it stays even and still as it drys.
wish i had time to try and build one, i still have all my testors paint and stuff.
maybe i should make a trip to hobby lobby this weekend

Thumbs up I hope this helps

I don't have the means to put together a video on how I paint. I can give you some tips though.

First and foremost, surface preparation is VERY important. I remove and flashing and mold seams with a hobby knife. Then I use Squadron Green putty to fill any surface imperfections. I then sand down these areas with a sanding block or sanding stick. It is important to use one of these tools instead of sanding with your hand. Hand sanding creates uneven pressure thus creating waves or high and low spots. After this step is complete, I then wet sand the body with different grits of sandpaper (600 up to 12000). I then take an old toothbrush with toothpaste and scrub the body. This sands the body even more. I then was the body with a tiny bit of soap and water. I dry the body with a cotton cloth. I have not been using primer - I apply the paint directly to the body. Now it is time to paint. I use a few mist coats. I let each coat dry 5 to 10 minutes between coats. Once the body is totally covered, I put on a wet coat. I let the wet coat dry for about 3 hours and the put on another wet coat. You need to be careful that you don't lay too much paint down. You will get runs. When I am done with each coat, I cover the body with a clean bucket. This eliminates the possibility of dust getting into the paint. I have never used a clear coat, but I have sometimes polished the body. This gives you an idea of how I paint.

I bought a compressor and a dual action Paasche airbrush. I believe I can get better results with it. I have a 70 Challenger T/A up next. I am going to give it a shot. I'll post up some more pics soon.

Default Side Markers Fabbed

I fabbed some side marker lights tonight for the Charger. Here are some pics. The pics are big, but I assume it's ok. I also assume that most of you have high speed internet.

Side Marker - Front


Side Marker - Rear
