Josh, pics are usually posted in the specific thread in the specific Forum (your pics of the Hudson would go with this thread in the Auto Forum.

What type of paint were you using on the Hudson? I sometimes prime and sometimes don't depending on what kind of a hurry I'm in to get the job finished (contest coming up). I guess I'm lucky, I've only had trouble with paint lifting a few times and it as due to the age of the paint. The basic feeling is that priming gives the paint something to grab hold of. Until you get a little practice under your belt, it might be a good idea to prime everything. If you have an old model laying around that you're not happy with, practice on it.

Jim,

Thanks for the tips, I'll be sure to throw those questions over to those specific forums. The Hornet is a real great model. The engine is super detailed and fun to work through, the body and inclusion of high quality wheels make it a really fun build. I wish the instructions had been a littler clearer, but this was my first car, so that might be a little operator error on my end as well. My only caution with this kit, and one that I felt it common after a little research: prime this kit well- I had more trouble than usual with paint lifting up when I was taping sections off.

I do have some pictures of the build  in sections. Are those usually posted on the specific thread or somewhere else? (this is my first jump into this forum.)

Welcome to the Forums Josh! Glad to have you aboard! Don't know the answers to your questions but I have a couple of suggestions. Ask about the Iron Man figure in the Figures Forum and the Delorian in the Autos Forum. You stand a better chance of getting answers if you put the post in the Forum that covers the subject. You might have to wait a few hours or maybe a day or two for the answers due to time differences and working hours of the members. I have the Moebius '53 Hudson in my stash. Waiting to see your build. Did you have any problems with the kit?

Hey, I just picked this new hobby up about a year ago. In that time I've cranked out a few airplanes (mostly Revell, 1:48) and a '53 Hudson Hornet (Moebius Models).

I'm a big fan and wanted to say hello.

Does anyone have any experience building a Iron Man figurine? I'm also trying to gather reccomendations for a Back to the Future Delorian if anyone has any leads?

Thanks!
