Back from the Model Shop
Hey Peeps!
Got back from the model shop. I bought ALL of the supplies I need to complete my Rally Lancer. Repeat: ALL of the supplies. Now all procrastination is only on my end. I bought all the masking tape (TAMIYA!), glues, brushes, paints (SPRAY PAINT!), tweezers and all sorts of other neat stuff I need. I spent about $70. Included in that is....... A Revell Acura Integra Type R. It was cheap and highly recommended, not to mention the great how-to it was featured in Scale Auto Enthusiast. I start tomorrow with painting. I'm going to do the Integra first. I'll make it red, but I'll need you guys help to pick out what style backend and wheels to use. I'll post pics a little later. This is going to be soooo much fun!!   Wanna know about coincidences? At the same time I was spending money to buy a red Integra Type R model, my friend was buying the turbocharger for his red Integra Type R! The guy at the model shop was so cool. He helped me buy everything I needed, told me what I really needed to get right now, and what I needed to get later if I kept modelling up (which I intend to!). What's coolest is that the bill came up 2 bucks more than I had and he gave me a discount so I could buy everything! I also found an AutoArt Mitsu Lancer Evo VI diecast model. I guess that's always an option if I botch the model. I have one question before I begin... I know you put numerous coats of paint on the body, but what about smaller parts that you have to brush? Like exhausts and seats and other stuff?

Seats is a bad example. But like steering wheel and engine parts. How many coats of brushed paint?

Are you going to use those crazy FnF decals? If so, you'll be the first in here!
 Keep us posted. We want regular reports.

The graphics in FnF were soooooo gawdy! Especially on the Supra. I bet they slowed the car down at least 5 seconds on the quarter mile. Bleh! Do I spray while parts are still on their trees? I realize I can't do this if not all the parts are the same color.

am I the ONLY one that doesn't leave the parts on the trees to paint?
I guess I'm just a real picky guy who likes to cut each piece out sand/shave down all the rough edges and (molding lines), prime them, sand them again (to desire texture) then use the back of the model box, put some double side tape on, then tape the parts down to spray.... :o

That's a good idea. I just lose my double-sided tape too often. I lose a lot of stuff.
  BTW, go get an avatar.

you need to get one too. Avatars are the little things under your name. For example, I have the NSX/S2000 and Vash the Stampede avatar I made myself. Jay has a pic from the Nightmare before X-Mas. Avatars become available after 100 posts. Now go get one by clicking on profile and then edit options. Go now!
