    Gloss coating a gloss paint ? Is this recommended?

    On another note, I find that with molded plastic parts like this Toyota body, there is a risk of destroying small details with sanding and over painting. Like the little Celica nameplates on the side of the body. And I would definitely think twice about going any further or listening to the...

    Gloss coating a gloss paint ? Is this recommended?

    While I agree, the finish is not bad....and certainly better than some models I have painted, the finish does have a lot of orange-peel which can easily be fixed at this stage ... if the glass isn't fixed, and the body not attached to the chassis. If it is beyond that stage, then I say "great...

    1/12 GT-40 MkII 1966 (Ken Miles version?)

    Well I am finally getting to the end of this build...couldn't come fast enough. While I started out with glee, it has slowly turned to a frown. What with all the mistakes I've made, and the ill fitting parts. Not to mention the body colour paint issues and the crappy decals. lol The latest...

    Downdraft Spray Table

    "This is the problem with building plastic models...you need another house for all your kit! Everything I need to build a paper model fits into a Pencil Case!! lol " Colour me impressed. Although I still think the downdraft table is a bit overkill. I've worked in real car downdraft spraybooths...

    Gloss coating a gloss paint ? Is this recommended?

    If you're talking about a Nascar recreation, keep in mind the paint job wasn't show quality. Those cars didn't have no polished gloss finish! In fact, back in the day, most were quite quickly painted and then covered in decals. If its a street car, factory finish, the finish would still not be...

    1/12 GT-40 MkII 1966 (Ken Miles version?)

    lol this model continues to be my headache, but I am resigned to finishing it and accepting it with all its ill fitting parts and problems. Admittedly, I am inexperienced in many areas of the build, and its a learning experience. I'm close to wrapping up the build, with only a few things left...
