Adrian, Wow!! does that yellow pop. you put my Lotus 99t yellow paint job to shame. I'm going to have to stand in the corner for sure.
I'm just blown away at your wheel,shift linkage, and refueling recessed cap. Fitted into the shell, it's just perfect in fit and look.

But your Lotus was a beautiful build so please don't say that - If I'm not mistaken its Camel yellow right? and that is a much darker yellow than this TS-16 - I mean honestly I have never swayed from Tamiya when it comes to paint - well when it comes to just about everything to be honest with you. I know a lot of guys want to take shots at Tamiya - but I think thats what happens when you're on top - Apart from MFH I just think they produce the best detail and fit when it comes to kits and their paint is always so crisp and on point. I'm a big Tamiya fan.

Adrian, I love Tamiya paints, Kits, supplies, and tools. Of course their tools for the most part are out of my budget these days. The new scriber with a single .2mm blade is almost $50.
I still use Tamiya paints for everything but shell painting. For that it's Gravity or Zero paints for European cars, while I tend to use MCW and now ScaleFinishes for all North American cars. I keep on looking at some of the Tamiya rattle cans, and I'm going to be trying their clear Gloss decanted as all you guys rave about. Now I just have to learn how to decant.
I was mostly referring to your build, and skill set. My God, you're in a whole different dimension then me.

Their TS13 is horrible to work with, I only use it because I can't find Testors Glosscote any more!
One fairly easy way to decant is to take a small self tapping crew on a variable speed drill, and slowly drive it into the edge of the can at the bottom. Then take a screwdriver and slowly back the screw out a little. You can drain the paint into a jar very neatly without ending up wearing half of it.

Paul, Great method. I'll be trying it out for sure. Joel That's funny because I have always Decanted only one way, and it works like a charm, for me anyway.
I take a straw with a bendable section (easy to find at the dollar store) and then tape over the top of an open Badger bottle with Tamiya yellow masking tape - then cut a slit in the centre - insert the one end of the straw into the bottle through the open slit - then simply hold the other end of the straw on the nozzle of your spray can and begin to spray - you can't decant as much as you want and then simply lift your finger, remove the straw and let the bottle sit to off gas through the hole in the tape.
That's my method!

The Rear Section is coming along nicely at this point - I will add some more detail but it's getting close to being finished.

This was my scariest moment with Rick ... God I don't know how he survived it. I know its because of the angle he ended up hitting at, which at the end of the day once in a spin of this nature is pure luck. It just looked way to much like Gordon Smiley all over again.
