My current build. Not Nascar but very close

[MarkJ]

Some more work on the hood and trunk pins. Also, I found an old body from a build I did in the seventy's that half the stuff is lost off of it so it will make a great test body for trying out different thinners for acrylic paint. There was talk back in 2019 and 2020 about how some people thought that denatured alchohol was just like mr. color levelling thinner. Lots of talk but nobody actually did a test and posted pictures of what they got. I will sand and prime this body and then use some acrylic paint and some acrylic clear with the denatured alcohol and see what I get. I also heard that plain old lacquer thinner will also work well with acrylic paint and give you a gloss shine that you won't have to polish it either. I shall try that too.

Somehow, I got silver paint on the roof and try as I might I could not get it off easily. It went right through the paint even past the primer so I will have to refinish the roof. This build is jinxed or I'm just a blank.

wow, you have been having some dumb luck with this one...


will make it all the more satisfying when it's done.

Thanks, Dave. I hope you are right.

Had the same happen last week, sorta. I squeezed some tube glue into a scrap of paper to dip a toothpick in and glue a small part, didn't notice it when I went to set the chassis down and set it in the glob of glue! I had to wipe the glob off then repaint the area. I don't know if it's a jinx or I am getting absent minded in my "older age".

Have no doubt that you will fix it up just fine.

It'll be like it never happened Mark.
