That sounds like a fun summer to me.

That will definitely keep you busy this summer. Have fun with them!

Thank you!

Thank you. I know what you mean. I try to watch videos to stay current and work on the build and work around the house and etc. etc., which the GTO is just about done. I'm hoping to do the final video for it today and get it uploaded before Christmas.

Thank you! They can be a lot of fun. I'm getting pretty close to getting this one near completion and I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'm going to try to get the update on it out soon. Yep, I've looked at the window screen and have found a bunch of correct scale size metal mesh sheets and when the storm took down part of our pool screening, I saved some of it to also use for modeling. It's in scale for this as well.

Sorry it took so long to get a comment back to you. Thank you very much, I appreciate it and thank you for subscribing!

@@KevinsHobbyTime No problem Kevin, your welcome man!!

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate that. It's slow going and I'm trying to get some more things figured out, but a new video should be out soon. I hope you enjoy the journey.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the adventures.

lol very cool! We are taking over the world one Kevin at a time. Thank you! Welcome aboard.

Thank you! I do to. I wanted to do something cool with this one, but still be in the vein of 20 to 30 something guy, built it in his garage, around mid-60s. I've got a custom 30 I want to do soon.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the content as we go. I appreciate it.

Thank you. I watched a ton of TH-cam videos on the subject and practiced with water first. Then mixed up my paint, and did some test painting on another old car body I had and decided to use as a paint mule. Airbrushing is a lot about having the paint thin enough to flow smoothly through the nozzle size that you are using. Then it's about how much psi you need to do what you want it to do. I used Tamiya acrylic paints for the regular paint job and it was thinned about 1 to 1 or 50% to 50% paint to Mr color leveling thinner. My nozzle is a .38 and the airbrush is the GHAD-68 by Gaaheleri and I bought it off Amazon. Psi was right around 16-18 psi. Hope this helps.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Yeah, I'd like to get on to a schedule at some point, maybe for some aspects of scale modeling or other hobby info, and post builds when I can. I just do better with some kind of schedule. I learned the bucket trick from another YTuber, and at some point will talk about the booth and bench set up, I figure. Good idea, no matter what. Thanks for subscribing! I appreciate it.

Thank you. Yep, you got to start somewhere and I didn't want to overload someone new right out of the gate. A good selection of tools will help, but you can still build a model with the basics. It's about starting something new and hopefully enjoying it without getting caught up in all the tools and gear. Trust me, I'm a gear hog, but it needs to be something that solves a problem that I may encounter and some tools are good to have and will help your skills advance in what you can do.

It depends on what you are wanting to do with the model. If you have a model that is molded in a color that you don't want, then you'll want to put a base coat (primer) over the color so that you can apply the color you want the model to look. Generally, primers are used to help give the color coats a good layer for the paint to adhere to first. The primer is also good for covering/filling in small imperfections in the model body. Most of the terms that are used are from the real world auto industry and get carried over. If your model body has some scratches or surface imperfections, you can lightly sand it or add a good primer base over it to build your final color coat up from. The other reason I didn't use primer was due to the fact that the paint I was using was going on at a normal thicker coat, and not thinning it out. In essence, I knew the paint would go on thicker and level out some and thus would hide any minor imperfections on the body. The body was already really smooth and didn't have anything that I needed to correct for when using a brushed on, enamel color coat. This reminds me that it would be a good idea to make a video covering painting a model car body. There is also a lot of vids on YT from other modelers that highlight how they paint a model car body, but I will throw my 2 cents in the ring soon. Thank you for the comment and the question. I hope this answered your question.

@@KevinsHobbyTime thank you

Thank you! I'm off to a slow start, but will be doing more soon.

Thanks! That was the main goal. The more we can get involved the more everything grows. I just want to have fun and do what I can along the way.

Thanks. It's not the greatest in the world, but it did the job to show that it can be done. More techniques will follow in later videos. Welcome aboard!

Yeah, I only really got a model on my birthday or Christmas and only had the basics. I just figured it was a good place to start and to show new builders that it can be done. Remember, to ultimately just have fun.

Nope, no offense taken. No worries at all. Thank you.

Thank you!

Thank you! I appreciate that. Yep, I have some white glue in my stash, but wanted to show that it could be done with the basic kit. But, will definitely add that to the, "for sure items to have" list for one of my future videos on intermediate tools and/or how to enhance a basic kit. Kind of, what to add from here. Thanks again for the comment.

Thank you. I appreciate that. You as well.

Thank you!

More to come!

Thank you! I appreciate that. I will be working on getting more content out as soon as possible.

Thank you!
