I found sheets of Acetate .015 and the Evergreen stuff @ 0.10 is the way to go. Learned the process on the Truck Building Groups on facebook. Good people, good knowledge!

I Found a 1959 resin Chevy Spartan 7000 cab assembly! That's even better for my logger build. Case closed.

Can anyone tell me how I would go about scratch building a windshield for a resin truck cab? I heard that Evergreen clear styrene would work, but I don't know how to go about actually making it conform and look like it's supposed to look. And if so, what is the best type of glue to glue it into...

I have somewhat of a complicated question to ask, and I am hoping that there is some kind of a tutorial offered somewhere. Or maybe someone who is experienced with kit conversions can help me, please. I want to get a 1:25 scale truck cab in (resin), because the era and style of the model...

Hi, I'm looking for a kit that would make a nice old pulpwood truck project. Preferably a 1967-1972 Chevy C-60 in 1:24 or 1:25 scale if I can find one. If I can't come up with something in that particular era, an older 1950's year model would be even better. As long as I can get the cab and...

Thank you all very much for your help. I have been wanting to try some different effects with wheels, engine parts, and other things for quite sometime now and from what I am reading, the metalizers are the way to go. I have to be honest with you, I have been out of the loop for a few years now...

Hi, I want to try some of the Alclad II Laquers. What I want to try first is their "Dark Aluminum" for intakes, aluminum mag wheels, etc. and "Stainless Steel" for headers etc. The biggest question is, .. Do I have to use Alclad II's Gloss Black base coat under their top coat, or can I use...

Thanks for the help spud.

Hi, I'm about to build and assemble the magic tracks for a DML kit that I've been working on for a while. The kit number is DML #6556 Pz. IV Ausf. J. I have not glued the road wheels or the drive sprockets or the rear idlers onto the lower suspension. I do have the Dunkle Gelb base coat sprayed...

I looked online at the cheap ones at Harbor Freight a few minutes ago. They've got theirs on sale for $3.99 this week, but it's just a standard visor model without lights or any extra lenses. I might run by there tomorrow and pick one up just to see if I like the way that it works. I know they...

Yep, I'll check em out. Thanks

I'll check out Hobby Lobby and see if they might have one that I could take a look at. I'd like to go with the readers as Ian suggested, but I'm at the point now that I am open to all suggestions. The draftsman's magnifier that I have is really starting to get on my nerves. Thank you

Hi, I have recently started modeling again after being away from the hobby for quite sometime and I am trying to get some of my tools and fixtures updated. I was hoping that someone might be able to suggest a decent magnifier if you could. I have a round 4" one that I am using now, that also has...
