WIP - 2005 Ford GT

Well,

I have a Habbit - I love doing bodies.. lol, I am not great at it yet but i love doing bodies...

I have started this kit last night, Man i love the new Dehydrator... from last night i was able to put 3 coats of paint and then still be able to Polish :D

I am going to put the decals on and then clear coat it!

Are you planning to spray clear over the windows and headlights? Or is that just a mock-up? Chances are you'll muck-up your clear parts if you try to clear coat over them.

I was going to clearcoat with the clear parts on. Had no idea it was a bad idea?

My plan was to do the little detailing, add the decals and then clearcoat.

I would definitely remove the clear parts, or atleast mask over them before spraying clear. You'll get a foggy look at best if you paint over clear parts with most clears.

Alright,

Well i am going to clean it up and clear coat it and get this update.

That's a great looking body you've got there! And from what you describe, sounds like I gotta find myself a dehydrator too :grinyes: .

Sorry to semi-hijack this thread, but does anyone have suggestions for sealing decals that go on clear parts then (windscreens)? Not sure what to do with my 1:12 bike windscreen that has decals...

you could try diping the clear parts with decals on them in future floor wax.

looks great, what kit is this?

Its the AMT Rides Magizine custom collection

Is it any good? Plastic? Ive been looking for a GT kit, but havent lucked out yet....

Curious, any idea if a food dehydrator would work for models?v:)
