Newbie HERE

Hello all! I'm new to this forum, I usually check in on the classic Honda
area because I like to play with my 1:1 scale 1G Honda CRXs. I've been
modeling since I was 8, then through out my teens I abondoned the
hobby. But now, in my mid-20s, I started to build 1:24 Tamiya and
Fujimi kits of old skool Hondas.

After checking out everyones sweet models in the gallery as well
as the contest, I want to build better.

Here's my question; Most of you guys outline the door, and hood seams
with a super thin black outline. This looks abosolutely incredible!!! I want
to know the secret to doing that. What do you use?

Also, how do you guys get your paint jobs looking so bloody mint? Like
straight out of a factory.

And, where would I find aftermarket rims for 1/24 scale models?

Thanks for the tips guys! Sorry for the newbie questions...bare with me..

For the outlining doors.. most people use Gundam Markers, or they thin out paint, so that it is runny and drip it down the lines, but i havne't done that yet.

Also, how do you guys get your paint jobs looking so bloody mint? Like

Tamiya paint... Ask P-man..

And, where would I find aftermarket rims for 1/24 scale models?

HLJ.com is great.

:flash:
Hope that helps you out

Thanks for the warm welcomes and useful info! My true hobby is
playing with [i]real[i/] cars. But modeling has always been something
I've liked. ...It all began in 1984 when my grandpa passed on all of his
H0 scale model trains...then came cars - my first model was a Pontiac
GTO Judge and now 15years later I'm into Hondas.

Well, cool. Thanks again for the info. I'll post pics of my models as
soon as I can.
