  • I love making model cars. There so much fun. I'm starting on a new one soon.

  • I usually build 3 or more at one time......It can get quite complicated....Moving from one project to the next.Sometimes it is necessary because of glue and paint drying times....Plus it's fun to work a little here and there...............

  • Oh and it also is very quick drying. U can prime basecoat and clear in 3 days if u prep right between coats

  • I've used duplicolor on almost all of my models and NEVER seen it melt plastic or damage it.so yes u can use it just make sure u prime the body first

  • I would LOVE to get into this hobby, there are so many great models out there, its just too bad I cant build for my life haha I wonder if there is a place where you can send in your incomplete model and they build it for you! I would pay!!

  • what is that thing on the spray can again? that black thing.

  • @MrTyler6499 You mean a air brush? That is the best to use they range from 20 bucks or so and up. The compressor is important as well since it supplies the air that the brush works off of..

  • Greg how much are the paint sprayers and what section would they be in

  • Hahaha, feeling like you're in a real body shop is important ;)

  • Starting my first project a 1968 Shelby gt 500 cause of a bet hope I can do it looks challenging.

  • Good video, I always like to see other peoples technique.

  • Im about to start my 1st 2 cars. 1957 Bel air and 2002 camaro its gonna be a good project
