ahhhh A fellow Canadian eh.
Didn't see that at first.
Great work
I can't seem to lay down a nice coat with Tamiya, to thin then not thin enough.

Tamiya paint is hit and miss with me too, it seems to work best if I thin it with LT at about %10, I find their own brand of thinner to be useless.
Like I said Pebeo glass paint works too, it has to be the solvent based stuff...I thin it with mineral spirits, some work better than others...rose pink and apple green work well, need to try others...you can find it in big box art stores like Michaels or Wallacks....don't buy their water based...it doesn't work.

I love the stuff...I used to thin it but I find the new stuff works best right out of the bottle.

I was wondering in a previous thread you had said you were recreating hardto find cars, do any with black engine bays yet?

Just as collectors focus on certain themes I decided that if I'm going to build a collection of restored redlines I would copy the hardest to find colors, protos etc.

No black engine bays but I love spoilers so I have completed the gold prototype collection that I saw on the spoilers website along with a companion hard to find color twin....I am going to post them later.
