 Dude, I was gonna ask about the sanding inbetween paint, did you wet sand it to a haze? But, then I saw your "Custom painting body holder," and now I want to know "How you did it?" Build the holder for your kit body that is. Please? Later Dude

Hey Rusty Bill, i saw that thing in a book about modeling!!! Its very easy, you take a square block of wood, carve out the hand grip, drill 4 holes in it, take 4 pieces of round steel, stick them into the holes and bend the ends in an angel of 90 degrees!!!! It can hold almost all car bodies, and you can turn it also upside down. Very cheap and very effective.............Ramone ;D ;D ;D ;D Dude, I was gonna ask about the sanding inbetween paint, did you wet sand it to a haze?

 Hey Ramone Thanks for the reply. I guess if its that simple I will give it a go. I'm using bent coat hangers, not very wind proof. Yours looks much better for the task. Thanks again. lATER dUDE
