First Pics Of The F-150

Isn't the Paint Baking function one of the new features of the 2003 KiwiBot?

:p

The way I bake on a finish is I put it in the oven.NO,I'm serious.My oven has a 40watt bulb so I just turn it on(the light,not the oven)and put the body(after painting)in it for a few hours.Keep a good eye on it to make sure it doesn't get too hot.This tecnique will help it dry alot faster and also make it harder.I have painted cars with testors paint in the morning and by nightfall I was installing the "glass" and other parts.

We have a small oven bake machine at work that we use to dry out electronic cards from our locomotives......i have no idea on the heat but its perfect for drying the paint on my models. It has a small fan which blows the hot air around. The model has to be well dryed before going in due to the fan which would only blow dust over a wet model
I leave them in for around 4 hours.

I use an old food dehydrator to bake paint. It works great. Picked up to from Big Lots (store where things that no one wants to buy get sent). It doesn't have a fan, but it serves the purpose none the less. Dries the paint A LOT faster.

Get this: I cannot find ANY food dehydrator here. Full stop! I want to, but when I ask the ppl at the shop they just look at me with blank expressions ... argh! :mad:

at the shop?? I got mine at a store in the appliance section, not at a hobby shop. Mine only costed me about $10, but has saved me hours of time.

Puh!:rolleyes: Should have finished this weeks ago man! What's wrong with you?:finger: :D

I think i will start to leave my comments until the finished piece is posted, with your work. There's only so many times i can say that's superb, amazing, stunning etc without sounding repetative:)

Its stunning BTW!... Oh no i said it again!

Looking great still. I agree with Fly, you should hurry up and get it finished already! You've been on it too long :D . I wonder what I will do with mine once I get it, any suggestions Pman?

I'd run fast and run long if I saw your mug in a dark alley (it has been a looooooooong time since my previous dark alley joke about you, so this should keep you on your toes :D )

WOW, supurb work, it looks stunning. (Just thought I should try some new words for a change...) :p
