Re: questions

Just a point of interest, the parts on the chrome tree in your kit aren't painted, they're actually coated with chrome like the real thing. They lay a layer of cleal lacquer over the parts, then dip them into a metal coating bath (though it may not actually be chrome) to make the parts metallic and shiny. It's not paint.

Re: questions

hi again,

i was going through some of the older threads and notice a s2k with an engine built. What model kit is that? or is it an scratch build? I also wat is a good brand of clear coat? my s2k is going fine but at i read some of the threads it makes me wonder if how i can improve my car's finish.
Also i have another question, wat is the different between car modeling and car diecast? is it the body is made out of metal?

thank you pple
