Hi,
I usually build airplanes, helicopters and anything else I can get my hands on, but cars so far has been missing from my list. Now, I bought a Revell hardtop lowrider (I can't recall the type, it just looks cool), and I'd like to know if I need to know anything special about building cars. I already read websites on it, but I wonder if anyone has anything interesting to point out.
Right now one specific question comes into my mind: how do you achieve that very smooth, very shiny finish on cars? (If you just put gloss finish on it it will look helplessly plastic -at least on airplanes it does. That rich, deep shine is missing. Should I use multiple light coats with polishing between?)
Also, I wonder if you could give me an advice on the following: on any scale I'd like to biuld a Crysler PT Cruiser, a Prowler and a H2 (the first and the last are my girlfriend's favorites: they look like toy cars to her, only lifesize). Are there any particular company that makes good kits on these?
Thank you.
