I haven't tried that, I usually remove the paint, then use a wool pad to clean and sand, then clean them off completely, then spray. The reason I do this is to make sure I have no unwanted raised surfaces from the previous applied paint or prints.

Also there is slow-curing and quick curing types, as well as, gels.

my turn, my turn....yoplait yogurt, le french fry english please.

Dish soap is fine, or you may want to try Scalecoat (paint remover for plastic).

I think using Pumpkin Orange is an excellent choice. Buttercream is good if your going for the Yamato colors, but by my preferance I'd go with the Satin Almond. NOTE: YOU DO NOT HAVE TO SPRAY THE COLOR ON THICK, LIGHT COATS WILL DO JUST FINE.

Don't mean to side track the thread, but this is going to be my newest acquisition. I will take possesion of this car by Friday. 1966 Ford Fairlane GT It is has a K-Code 289 Hipo, Untouched. Runs Great. C-4 Automatic Trans. 3.11 Gears. Hi-Performance Suspension. New Dual Exaust. New All Around Disc Brakes. White with red interior. Car needs nothing. I am so excited about this car. I have owned one before, but this is the elusive K-code GT, with the full options package!!! Drrrrrroooooooolllll *SLURP*.

That really sounds familiar. 1/48 Yamato Stickers

Looks good, but for some reason, she appears a bit like Marilyn Monroe. Sexy and sultry...Grrraaarrrrrrr.

Okay now, where is it that I can get a VF-1S Canon Fodder?? For $145?? For a VF-1A Canon Fodder the price is really not that bad. I'd say go for it.

When was this ever produced? 1/60 ARII Monster??? Funny thing though, for 180.00 US an ARII Kit of that size would not seem like a bad purchase. At least, not to me.

Talk about a really expensive CMS figure. What? No Pic? CM Figure

I have about 50 unbuilt kits and I plan on building them all. Don't buy one unless I plan on building it. I figure as long as I have models to build God won't let me die. 343721[/snapback] Maybe, you're already dead, and God is torturing you with unbuilt kits.

WM, You should consider making this a wall mounted display. It would look fantastic. you could also build a frame around the ouside of the base, as if it was the side of the ARMD hangar bay entrance. Just a thought.

Bloody knuckles and constant cursing. I haven't restored a vehicle in a couple of years now. I really miss doing that. I was actually contemplating the purchase of 1966 Ford Failane GTA, from a friend.

WM, It really amazes me how well you take very clear pictures and narrate the build so well. It is consistent with you expertise of building. Your posts are like a great story, can't wait to turn to the next page. Keep up the great job.

...sounds more like an unhealthy obsession... As far as this not being a fun hobby, I still think it is.

That's an easy enough questions to answer. Just because. Eventhough, you know you will never be able to build all those wonderful kits, it's still nice to know you have them. It's just like the toy-collectors, you will buy and buy toys, but eventually will never be able to play with all of them.

That was me. Plastikote & Fusion

Datterboy, You got my interest. How are you going to make the dyes permeate through the plastic and resin? Resin is colored using pigments that are blended in prior to mixing the control substrate with the catalyst. I'm not sure how plastic is colored, but it could be a related process. Wouldn't a pressure cooker create so much heat that it will actually melt or warp the parts?

why... unless your offering to give me head 343526[/snapback] I think this thread just took a wrong turn.

Or get on the shoulders of A1.

I couldn't disagree more. I own somethin' like 8 of 'em and they're one step above crap for the most part. It's impossible to transform one of these thing without having to hunt down a screw cover. The backpacks are shifty. My elintseeker can't stand in Battloid mode unless it looks like it's trying to simulate some Michael Jackson move. The GERWALK mode is just a byproduct of the fact it can trasnform into battloid mode. The legs in GERWALK are mismatched at best. The head sculpt of the 1S is a shame more than a "compromise" of design. The legs are awkward, transformation is clunky, and did I mention the stupid preponderance of screw covers that come off with a strong breeze? No sir, the only thing that makes the 1/60 good is the number of variations. I own them all to support my display cases but would never recommend them. People bash the MPC religiously but I think I would recommend them over the 1/60. (Obviously I would tell people to just hold their money for a 1/48 over either) 341573[/snapback] The 1/60s are not all that bad. They have their silver linings. I personally like the 1/60s as these can swooped, barrel rolled and what have you, around any room of your house, without fear of breaking them. As for recommending the MPC, well to each his own. 1/60, 1/48, MPC...all have their strong and weak points. Personally, 1/55 is the way to go for me. 1/55 is KING. 1/48 is a handsome prince. 1/60 is a noble squire. MPC is nothing more than a jester. NB4M

Awesome work!!! I would love to see the Invid doing more maneuvers.

Ok, EXO. You have to bring that over, tonight. NO EXCUSES!!!

You misunderstood, they really said "that cheap old bastid."
