    With Scalecoat, yes. It needs baking to level properly. It I generally self priming on brass, except for the tough colors like yellow or orange. Then I prime with a white or very light gray.

    Evening all! The last couple of days I've been wrestling with a pretty wicked chest cold. Got it from the grandkids (the only down side of having them!) the wife and I and their aunt all got clobbered, and with the wife and I immuno-suppressed, well, safe to say, it ain't no fun! As a result...

    Thank You. I got a bunch of compliments on it. One guy was a big fan of the COSF and gave me a copy of a poem he had written. That was a really nice gesture.

    Did the blasting this morning. Now it's out and will go into the Ultrasonic cleaner for a few minutes. Some painters leave the old clear coat in place. I used to many years ago, but any paint job is only as good as it's first coat and I don't feel good about doing all this work and applying...

    Yeah HO is the same. Paper insulators. I never shorted a driver pair, but I've read where guys have applied DC voltage across the driver center and tire until the short was burned out. You can also remove the tire by baking the set and pressing the tire off the center and replacing the...

    Evening Y'all! I hope you had Merry Christmas, Happy Holiday, or whatever floats your boat! I did. Grandchildren are a blessing! Been a while since I did anything, and I did promise a steam engine project from soup to nuts so here we go! I got this model for myself last Christmas. I put a...
