With Derek on the mixing of paints. Just not a good idea and more often than not causes issues. Anytime you are unsure indeed do the testing with spoons. Another thought to this cracking is if the paint was fully mixed up. Came across this using MR Color Neon paints on some MotoGP wheels. Cause for ...

OH yA this is long overdue!!!

Love the Zuzuki. Thanks for posting the info on the colors too! Am researching and preparing for this build. Top Studio just released a detail set that I plan on getting. FYI I have seen others use magnets instead of the screws on the fearing. Something I want to try. But for now I have been just pu...

Super cool to have MOTOGP threads! I have been building F1 for a long time and my friend turned me onto the Tamiya MOTOGP kits.
They are now the most fun I have building models. You can keep it out of box or go crazy with detail and still get awesome results

This is one cool looking car and in 12th scale should really look awesome.

Think wew all have had to deal with clear plastic or Vacume form clear parts and scratches. Future floor wax mentioned does a OK job at hiding fine scratches and adding the appearance of real glass. Several YouTube videos about it. Simply polishing with micromesh can give you great results. Nerve ra...
