Great video ! Needed the information to do a Vette strip on my 1/12 Monogram kit. As far as Baldwin Motion, I'm from Long Island and many years ago we would hang out at Motion to watch them build the cars ! Those were the days ! Cheers !
Great tutorial, I love the way you explain the masking procedure as it really makes sense to keep the lines and proportions perfectly in shape. Really like the result in the end, such a lovely clean work. Well done and thank you. Subscribed to you sir!
I'm glad I found your channel. Recent subscriber. Thanks for the excellent tutorial on masking and painting stripes. You're very skilled. Good clear narration too. I'll be trying out these tips on my channel really soon. Be safe. Greetings from Switzerland.
Good job bud thank you im a newbie yep a 51 yr old newbie i love it though it passes my time since medical retirement yep building models , metal detecting , spinner , lure making O n teaching my grandaughter how to play softball at 1 1.5 yr old haha she tries
just happened to notice the rear gas cap on the baldwin corvette is a racing style in the reference photos wow 😁love this vid watched 5 times now and still could over and over again thanks dude scooter d🤩🤪
Muscle car modeler I have learned a lot from you! I did a 1979 elcoline ford van and the decals sucked!! They broke up!! So now on with the teaching!!😊
This has always been difficult and there is surprisingly very few videos by modelers showing how to do this. Thanks very much for revealing this 'secret' of model stripping. It comes at a great time as I'm trying to strip the AMT 1969 Trans Am. The decals that came with it are BLACK not BLUE, why they did that is a mystery.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler Absolutely ! Unfortunately my masking efforts are still not great, but I do want to try, painted stripes always look so much better than a decal.
Very impressed! I've done a few similar to this with two or three colors but never tried to paint the thin line. If I wanted the thin line I would cut it off the decal but it only worked with black. Usually. But I am curious as to why you did the blue first. Besides being more difficult to get coverage, it appears that masking the white would have been easier than the blue
Somewhat pore planning. Originally I was going to use the kit supplied decals but decided to make the stripes more accurate to a real Baldwin Motion so I did the masking.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler I should have figured that lol. I'm not sure I've ever built one that I didn't change what I was going to do to it in the middle.
Here’s a tip for laying out the perfect gap. Lay a piece of your .5mm tape right up against the tape edge, then another piece of tape directly against the edge of that tape, then pull the first and boom, even gap from start to finish
Nice tutorial Raoul. Question regarding the cleaning up of the overspray...do you clear coat before putting the stripes on? Overspray is super simple to cleanup on a clear coat.
Aaron Baldea I clean up the overspray with a Q-tip and rubbing compound. Just make sure the rubbing compound doesn’t have silicone in it. That will make the clear coat fish eye.
I would have laud down white first the laid down the stripes with tape then spray the blue idk is this the correct way to do it as well both ways his and line or is his the better way
That is the better way. You should start with the lightest color. I painted my real car that way. This build I was planning on using the decals till I realized they were not even close to correct. It was supposed to be a quick build.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler ok cool man but thanks for showing me the fast way to do it though I do alot of fast clean box stock builds for display models in my case about 40 of those a year and I build 15 show cars a year
@@TheMuscleCarModeler this year I don't have much time between my full size oval track racing I'm doing again and giant scale rc jet flying acrobatic airshows has ate up all my model building time
Not very long. Let it dry for about an hour then removed the masking. Then let it dry for a week. That was when I did any color sanding and touch ups. Clear coat was weeks later.
I don't really know as I use my airbrushes and a few Tamiya spray paints. I don't use Rustolium. HPI Guy does a lot of spray painting. He may know better.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler thanks for the info. I’ve recently started building my first model car and know very little about the hobby. Could I find a product like the rubbing compound at a hobby shop?

Very informative, definitely should watched this a couple weeks ago,definitely going too get some that striping tape.
Glad it was helpful!
You aced this one!!! Excellent finish crisp lines!!!
Thank you very much!
Very nice.... tedious but worth the time. Adds so much more than a decal that may tear or wrinkle up beyond hope.
Thanks!

Thanks I believe this one was Tamiya Mica Blue.

Man, that blue tone is gorgeous, could you tell me which paint code did you use? It looks like Admiral Blue
Thanks! This one is Tamiya TS-50 Blue Mica spray.
Nice that came out clean from what I could see 👍👍 do you recall how long you let the paint dry before removing the tape?
Not very long. Let it dry for about an hour then removed the masking. Then let it dry for a week. That was when I did any color sanding and touch ups. Clear coat was weeks later.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler Got it. Thank you for responding so quick too. Keep up the killer work.
Nise work.
Thanks!
Hi!, Do You know if this Kits can be painted with rust oleum spray cans, ir any kind of rattle cans?
I don't really know as I use my airbrushes and a few Tamiya spray paints. I don't use Rustolium. HPI Guy does a lot of spray painting. He may know better.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler yea, I ask hi the same question but he can't answer me because he dont really know that xd. Thanks for the reply anyways!
Looks njice the paint job
Thank You!
How do u fix overspray on the paint finish
I will usually use polish to remove it. Sometimes I will color sand the area but mainly use polish that does not contain silicone.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler thanks greatly
Where did you get that jammy dog tape?
Mike's models 2 I bought it a few years back at a show. Scale Finishes was carrying it. They have a web sight for jammy dog: www.jammydog.com/
@@TheMuscleCarModeler Thank you.
Niceeee !
Thanks 🔥
wouw, art !!!
Thanks!
Awesome stripping!
Thanks!
I want to send you a kit I have too many I would to see you build it its a Johan rambler sc I think all the parts are there
Thank you! I have two of those kits in my stash and plan to build both paint schemes. I just don't know when I will be doing them.
How would you fix the overspray spots on body
I remove the overspray with rubbing compound that has no silica in it and apply with a Q-Tip.
@@TheMuscleCarModeler thanks for the info. I’ve recently started building my first model car and know very little about the hobby. Could I find a product like the rubbing compound at a hobby shop?
