-=And so it begins: 350Z streetDRAGON=-

I've been doing it for years, and I've never had a can explode, but only leave it in the hot water for 5 mins, much longer then it will explode. It really allows the paint to stick to body or primer better, I also heat the body a little with a blow dryer set on low, once again, to get the paint tp stick better

[gasman03]

by hot water, i think he means hot but not enuf burn you

Exactly,

I also run the tap till it hot, then put the can in a jug with the water for 5 minutes. especialy with primers

-=IT'S DONE=-

After 6 hours straight of working on the model, I finally finished it. The result is better that I expected in most areas, worse in others. I've ran into so many prolems today...unbelievable. The hardest part was the decals - they were so thin and fragile that I had to cut the graphics up into multiple pieces to make it work. The dragon on the roof, for example, I had to cut into 6 pieces and then apply them one at a time; for the side flames - 6-8 pieces. Another hard part was painting the edges of the body around the winshields and side windows - I had no body paint to fix a mistake if I made one...turned out ok. Other than that, it just took time...I haven't left my room from 11Am to 5 pm.

It's dark right now, so I can't take good pics outside, you'll have to wait till tomorrow. I will make a 'finished' thread tomorrow around 12pm with lots of pics. For now, here's a peak:


This is my last post in this thread - thanks to everyone for all the advice, comments, and lectures about my ego. Looking forward to your reactions to the final thing.

I will post a link here to the 'finished' thread tomorrow.

I'm just going to share my opinion at the moment, that picture makes that car look like a McDonalds promo toy.

The blur really ads to the look of the car actually.

Methinks the pic got blurred to spare us our health. He's photoshopping it right now to make it the best Z we've ever seen so we can tell him it's awesome and that we should be honored to be reading the words he typed on our miserable little PC monitors.

Do you really think we should get down on our knees and thank this kid for the great model he's shown us?
