Me happy! Really happy! :flash: :flash: :flash: :silly2:

\wiping off an odd tear/ Yes, Daniel-sensei, I'll do my best to make you proud! :cry:

I won't be starting with the models just jet - I have a Sierra to finish, and then I'll be practicing making cars with engines on 300ZX.

Now did you see my question about Rubbing compound and Kristal Klear? How much do they cost in UK and what's your estimation for shipping costs? Oh, and Tamiya Wax as well, if there is any available...

[Guiddy]

I can't beleive you are doing that Sierra! They go for big money here, like £25!

Don't cock that one up either! Looking forward to seeing it done!

Dan! Rubbing compound!

Don't tell me you don't have a car shop near by where you can buy rubbing compound!
You can get that stuff anywhere!

As for the Krystal Klear and Microsol, I'll work on that one!

[ales]

Hmm, will any rubbing compound work? I feel stupid (well, I am!). OK, I will look into it tomorrow. Although I was thinking that since Tamiya was so good...

[primera man]

I'm not sure what other compounds would be like, but i'd say they may be a bit to corse for a model.
See if you can get the tamiya stuff just in case or maybe try some on another painted bit

[ales]

Damn, they're asking a lot of money for that EvoII !!!

It's not what they ask, it's what they get!

you may have a good substitute for rubbing compound in the bathroom
try regular toothpaste (not the gel type) it is an abrasive and works pretty good for smoothing out a paint job,just keep the rag wet and rub away.

Thanks, Mike, I'll give it a try.

Edit: Mike, could you perhaps tell me how exactly to apply toothpaste to the model? Put it (paste) on a damp cloth and rub on a wet car?

[Guiddy]

Rag wet
Model dry
Toothpaste onto rag!
Keep another rag near by to wipe away the paste and check the shine!

[modelfan1]

yeah ,what Guiddy said
