LOL!!! There's alot of their paints that I'm going to be missing. Notably the Wet Look Clear and some of the Lacquer systems aerosols but just as importantly I'll be missing their acrylic line up for military models. Stuff went on flawlessly for me.

Rustoleum seems to think that without the Automotive series of paints they will prosper. The automotive line of paints was a bit of a slow seller at my LHS. It could be nationwide as far as I know. I don't like Testors line of enamel sprays since they are low on pigment and they take forever to dry, unless I mix them with lacquer thinner from Home Depot. I'm not into decanting my paints. I guess I will have to find another brand of paint to use on my models.

AK colors seems to be a good paint from what I'm seeing around on the forums. Right now I'm trying MCW to see how that works. Fingers crossed.

I have had fairly good luck with MCW paints, but I haven't tried them since Dave Dodge sold his operation. I heard that the paint now offered needs additional thinning, but that was over a year ago. I don't know how it is today.

The StoryAs McNally drives home, his cellphone rings and he answers a call from Sgt. Det. Bolanden of the Internal Affairs Bureau and he is investigating Det. Darvell's arrest of McNally. He tells the Sergeant that he was out of town all day and how he was treated without being told of his Miranda Rights. Bolanden asks were he was at the time of the murder and McNally was out on Route 2 having left his ex-partner's wife home out in Templeton, MA and he was headed towards Boston and that his ex-partner was deceased. Sgt. Det. Bolanden remembers the funeral for Det. Daniel Carlisle. He tells Sgt. Det. Bolanden that Det. Darvell probably didn't investigate any crime and arrested McNally because he doesn't like him since he is friends with Lt. Det. Adam Troy. McNally is asked why Det. Darvell dislikes him so much and the Boston PI suspects that it is jealously on Darvell's behalf. Sgt. Det. Bolanden thanks McNally for talking with him. The BuildI painted the interior and assembled it today during the Classic Plastic Model Club Build-A-Thon. While the paint booth was up and running, I painted the Impala SS body with Model Master Plymouth Prowler Purple Metallic.    McNally will return...

Thanks Mike! I am very happy with the interior. I just wished the paint was a shade darker, but it did come out nice.

Thanks lowlife! This is one thing I have noticed about some snap and curbside kits, the level of detail is excellent! A little research also goes a long way as well!

That interior looks great Mike!! These newer interiors seem to require additional shadowing and tonal variations to keep them from looking too bland and it looks like you've done a great job in bringing out the best of this interior. Paint job looks pretty dang good too bud.

Thanks Joe! This interior is molded perfectly for additional shading. I had previously built an Impala SS straight out of the box and I painted the interior with Model Master Leather and it looked great! I think it is the way it is molded.

The StoryMcNally is making breakfast for himself when he hears the doorbell ringing and he answers the door to Lt. Det. Adam Troy. Adam needs to spend some time on the street investigating and McNally's case would be good for him to work on. McNally finishes his breakfast and places the empty dishes in the dishwasher and he puts on the shoulder harness for the large Smith & Wesson Model 500 .50 cal pistol. Adam asks about the gun and McNally just smiles at him and they walk out of the house with Adam never asking about the huge gun aagain and they get into Adam's Dodge Charger PPV. Their first stop was at sports cars dealers that rent out sports cars. The BuildI started detailing the Impala SS with my Sharpies and some Tamiya X-18 Semi Gloss Black.    More Impala to come...

Thanks Joe! The paint is more purple than I really wanted, but it is closer to what I was looking for.

The StoryMcNally and Lt. Det. Troy stop at Boston Sports Cars LLC and inquire about an orange sports car that was recently return. They talk to a saleswoman by the name of Amanda who is dressed in a low cut top, a very short skirt with stiletto heels and a surgically enhanced body and they ask her about a sports car that may have been returned recently. She tells them of an orange Dodge Charger R/T with a black side stripe that was returned in that morning by a Donald Bishall and they need to see the car. The car is in the service bay and not serviced yet and has two bullet holes in the left rear C pillar from Det. Darvell's Glock. McNally inspects the trunk and he finds a Colt .45 automatic wrapped in a dark blue jacket in the spare tire well. Lt. Det. Troy calls for a tow truck from Headquarters and then he goes to his car for evidence bags for the gun and the jacket. The car is marked as evidence by Lt. Det. Troy and he writes out a receipt for the car. The BuildI started assembling the Impala SS this afternoon. I need to fix the front of the hood where I messed up the paint.    McNally will return...
