AWESOME save Carl................. one would never know........ she is lookin the part for sure....

That would be the smart move !

I'm glad I'm not the only one who has had some difficulty with acrylics, for a while I thought it was just my ineptness...... I will give them a go again... I just have to find the time and the right subject, BUT I always seem to default back to enamels.... and yeah, Cathy gets after me for the smell too ( of the paints ) I guess , part of my problem among many, is that I am working on OLD experiences, I have really yet to try the new paints out now, my times were Testors, acrylics, many moons ago... so maybe I need to step up my game and try the new stuff......

I need some beer now, too much pop corn ................ My eyes are on you Dale, watching with great interest.....

Sorry to see that Carl, but for me, personally, that is the kind of luck I have had with 'those' kind of paints, and why, again , for me personally I always fall back on the enamels..... I REALLY have to step out of my comfort zone................and go back and try acrylic paints again, but this is why I always chicken out ..... I guess I'm a bit of a sissy...............

Thanks Buddy !

DAMN ! That looks REALLY cool, I love the hues of the two opposing silvers........ That is going to really make the model Carl..... love it !

KILLER !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Tony................. I will 'invest'-igate LOL!! Thanks Pal..

Dale................ you mention Fine Molds seat belts................. I hunted all over for a venue that sells them, and came up dry,............. well sorta , there was an Oriental website, and of course it was in their own language, and as I can barely get through our own English it didn't do me a whole lot of good..... where would you access these Fine Mold Belts? I think they might be a great idea for me to try out.......... as I 'might' have more or at least different success with them................ can you point this old hound in a direction, buddy?

OUTSTANDING ! Merry Christmas to him and the family ! It will be a real good one now !

Well, I'm thinking that may be a little ahead of my skill set, being a lot on the technical side, and I don't have the 'good stuff' in my inventory............... but take it from a guy who knows NICE, it looks damn near perfect from where I sit....... you nailed the shininess, and the hue is dead on..... I may have to step up my game and give the Alclad a go................ I always seem to fall back on what I know ( and it isn't much ) but it is safe...... I must step out of my comfort zone... bottom line is it looks awesome!

We live on a different PLANET, Carl............... same rock, different planet !

Cool beans Smitty, and BEST wishes to your niece, at West Point ! My son went to RMC here in Canada (Royal Military College) and he and one other cadet were selected to do a 6 month exchange to West Point, so a Canadian kid from a small town in British Columbia to get to go to West Point, and do a thesis was a VERY proud moment for Cathy and me..... especially as we know how many American kids try to get there and we also know it is a Congressional appointment, so Cathy and I KNOW how proud you must be..... tell her our little connection with her school and wish her all the very best... GO ARMY !!

HBD !!!!

X2 !!

I feel Truly VINDICATED now !!!!!!!!!! This is awesome, I am really among true kindred spirits !!!! Carl, I LOVE your work 'area'.............. I too have a good sized bench but seem to only have about 6 or 7 square inches to 'spread out'............... I LOVE this !! Just awesome you guys ! And you have some cool stuff Carl.... 'started' kits............ hhhmmmm me too, way too many....

Ok, Tony, what's the secret on the spinner, ??? Man that looks cool !

That whole page was a chuckle, I see NOW I'm not the ONLY one who does that....... I feel better now....

Dale BUY the CHEAPER one !
