    OK you two, now you've got me involved as well 😁😁😖. Just ordered the kit plus canopy plus laser cut pieces. I may be slow as I'm part way through building Harpy. Cheers.

    No, I have only started one (a brand I do not recall) and it was a disaster. I will look it up and try a WAK skill 2 kit as a first try. Thanks!

    By now, I have collected a large number of Halinski kits and have yet to try a start on a single one. Every time I see you post another build thread, it tempts me so much.

    CDW got a reaction from DocRob in Porsche Carrera GT by CDW - FINISHED - Tamiya - 1:12 Scale - PLASTIC   
    All my yellow body panels are now painted, and all have been given a 2k clear coat. Somehow, I managed to get a lot of crap in my clear coat. Will give it a couple more days to cure out before I start wet sanding and polishing out all the panels. That 2k clear is some really nasty stuff to paint due to the overspray fumes. A full-face filter mask is mandatory for this stuff. Don't try painting without it! I also recommend putting a coat of wax on your mask face lenses. The fumes from the 2k paint will fog the clear face shield and the wax will protect the clear shield.

    They provide those spacers, even on the little 1:43 scale cars. I think it's intended to protect the rubber tires from forming a flat spot after sitting a long period of time.

    What a gorgeous model, Chris. You really have the card models building down to a science. It's amazing to me how realistic the card models you build turn out. In my opinion, they look better that 99% of traditional, injection molded kits. Maybe in part that's due to the precise and beautiful color of the printed card, but mostly due to your skill in building it.
