Hello fellow modelers Do any of you guys know, if theres ever been a model kit of the 1966 Buick Skylark?

Purple squad!?... I seem to remember Apollo and Starbuck pulling a stunt like that on the cylons. Seriously tho... If you get the weathering and 'beatupness' right, any color works... That's the beauty of the Star Wars universe in my opinion. And yes... Beatupness can be a word! Keep it up.

Hmm... I hadn't noticed. I'll check it out. Thank you for pointing it out.

That is insane work man. This thing will like 10 times as big when photographed, ones it's done. Very impressive.

That looks great man, we can always learn more! That mindset takes you further than anything else. "I haven't tried that before... So I can probably do it!" Pippi Langstrømpe

I've tried tamyia epoxy... While it's expensive, it was relatively easy to work with. Looking forward to seeing this come together. Thank you for sharing.

Sounds great man... Great concept with box, even better if it's semi clear... Lot of free light that way. Only concern might be the potential backwash of air and paint from the back wall, if you place the fan on the side... But a filter mat or something might help if that is the case. Again it...

The turntable looks great... I never use mine, lol. Anyway a duct fan is great for excaust if you place it away from where you're working. Especially the 12 volts versions with variable speed. It's really great that you're going for the no/low cost, I'm sure it's possible to build a great...

Big enough... I find the commercial one I have is too small. Even tho mine has lights I find myself wanting more lights. So lots of lights. Flexible exhaust. As low noice as possible... That probably isn't possible, but one can wish. Dedicated area for mixing paint and cleaning the...

Looks great... What do you mean by not all of them... Is this one not to scale?

That is an option of course... But dailing in your cleaning method should steer you clear of the problem in the future... Knowing when, how and with what to clean... Should be sufficient.

Very ILM... They had the same issues when lighting the models. Looks great.

I usually just pull the needle and flush the entire thing from the locking nut... Granted that hits the air valve as well, but I do add glycerin to my cleaner.

Yes that's the thinner... But I only use it with Mr surfacer... It's expensive as $*#@. I buy the 400ml bottle from a polish hobby shop.
