The foiling takes a great part of patience, all besides a new blade, cotton swabs and some music from A-HA

THIS IS MY SECOND CAR build, the paint job was done with humbrol 19, about 3 wet coats one week between each, i did use micromesh to wipe any flow, but the magic is in the polish compound, i did use SILICON GLAZE from AMWAY, it really works well, apliying it with an old tshirt and some circular movement, patience and watching the history channel

Nice work!
I remember very well when the "real" T-bolts [1:1 scale] hit the drag strips and started creaming all those 'other' brands! What a great time to be a young car guy!Big Smile [:D]
I'm looking foward to seeing photos of the finished piece!
Thumbs Up [tup]

How did you use the chinese ink? I've wanted to make realistic grilles and such for years but never known how!

OK, for the chinese ink , here in Guatemala we use stylographics , or rapidoliner ( staedtler, rotring, fabercastell) to draw blueprints, it comes in reloadable stiles of dispossable, comes to in many points, .01 , .02, .03, .04 and thicker, in sets or singles

thi finer was used to add some shados inside the grilles, and arround the stop lights
, and more for the front frille, a little patience and a cd of A-ha, i the grille is too little you can use the chinese ink thinned in water ( enly water) and aplied with a fine pencil maybe a "0" and patience as you can see in this chevy 39 (not finished yet) like a wash and let it dry
