I used o love building models when i was in my teens, but always sucked at painting the body. I could never get spray paint to look right, so I just brush painted my bodies.

Did you buy an airbrush setup?

Very cool Chris! I LOVE the Impala! I really want one of those very badly, just like you have it setup. The Chicayne is one of my favorite hot rods ever.

yea i want to build another soon. Have a 68 firebird that just needs final assembly, 58 & 64 Impalas, 88 Silverado tow rig & scratch built trailer and a 49 ford that need to be built before i buy any more kits though

i have not. i need to do more research. i have a little pancake compressor already, i am wondering if i could get away with just purchasing the gun. i assume so.

god bless.

can you regulate the pressure on the tank? On the model building forums there have been some people that just fill a portable air tank at thee gas station and use that LOL. Hobby lobby sells the higher end airbrush setups. I always get a 40% off any one item coupon that should help with the cost. What kind of RC car did you get?

You sir have mad skillz! I've done some pretty elaborate paint on some R/C bodies, but your work on the smaller scale is impressive. This is a pretty cool website for ideas:

I need to get a pic of the Desoto ladder truck I gave to my aunt when she promoted to battalion chief. All the ground ladders and axe handles I used wood grain touch up pen. Great for car interiors too, comes out looking just like woodgrain.

Man, I've heard of those pens but I've never actually seen the results. Always been kinda skeptical.

As long as its not a large surface area they are great. Im sure if you did a model boat or something it would look like crap, but small detail is great.

Great post. Here is the one i just finished. First one in about 10 years. Forgot how much I enjoy building these. Also I know I built that same mustang about 20 years ago, I have to find it now.

I knew I built that same 4eye pony. Just found it in the attic. The decals are different but I think its the same kit.
