SPA Modeler

Did some clean up and polish work on the cab and body today. It had a couple of nasty dust bunnies in the paint and I broke out the fine sanding pads and then it was off to the Novus. Worked like a charm. Almost at a point to where I can start assembling everything and watching all the hard work for the last few months come together.

such great finishes. I realize you may have shared before, but would you (at your leisure) put together the steps?

Wax on, wax off...

I can do that Lyle. It's not as difficult as you may think though. Just a little time consuming and requires a lot of patience. I used to think that folks just sprayed the perfect finish on and that was it. I mean.....that's how my Challenger build worked out. Just sprayed it on from a friggin' can for cryin' out loud...….and that was it. No need to wet sand or polish. Just perfection. Turned out that was all a one time shot....a fluke or whatever. I think Hell did actually freeze over that day because everything just went right on that one. I chased and I chased but it would be another 3 years till I got a shine equal to the Challenger ….only this time it took a ton of wet sanding and polishing and it has ever since.

No big hurry. I can't find that Gremlin kit I bought at Ollies!

That is a very impressive finish, Joe. Black is so difficult to get right, sort of like yellow in a way. You always seem to pull the rabbit out of the hat.
