Thanks Joe! I hate redoing work because I screwed up the first time around. I should have seen the issues and corrected them in the first place. Oh well...

Thanks Joe! I hate redoing work because I screwed up the first time around. I should have seem the issues and corrected them in the first place. Oh well... boy, you said a mouthful there. its my own fault, but when i get down to the model room, my model time is important and i can't be doing things twice, or 3 times for that matter. i know i just said this on Steve's Coronet build, i do the "this will do" on a lot of stuff. then when i revisit it, it looks like shit and i never go back to fix it. |

Sometimes, I do go back to correct things and they come out better. Not perfect, just better. And, then there are the times I wonder why did I go and correct this just for it to turn to garbage?

Mike you need to slow down and rethink things. Don’t let it get to you. You’ll get it right. Relax take it easy. You do great work. The modeling force is strong with you.

Okay guys! Here's the deal...I screw up because I am not perfect. If I was perfect, I would have all the money in the world and not worry about getting some small thing wrong. I am who I am and I am not perfect! Who's with me?

Well, some are closer than others. Tonight, i tried my hand at creating a set of exhaust tips made from styrene. I used two pieces of 1/8th inch styrene tube and two short lengths of 1/16th inch rod glued together. The rods fits into two holes I drilled in the molded chassis pan exhaust and the molded tubes have angle cuts made with eye-ball engineering. Now to paint them up!    More Barracuda to come... |

Thanks Joe! This was a fairly easy task to accomplish. I added Bare Metal Foil to the tips and they look really good.

I coated the Keith Marks Decals with two coats of Microscale Liquid Decal Film. I'll let this dry for a day or so and then start decaling.    More Barracuda to come... |

This is my second bottle in over ten years of use. It seems to work on some decal sheets.
