Man just love watching you work ! Such an artist !! Done models myself and detailed them but you man are awesome!!

Fantastic.

That was great. I shudder when I see those decals wrinkled when first applied. How you iron them out amazes me.

Damn! Clay your a beast at these builds.

Coins over the wheels!! Why did I think of that!! It’s the little things in life.

Looking fantastic. Can’t wait to see it finished.

Geez, just seeing you adding the decals on the front and side of the car makes me terrified of trying to do a NASCAR model. Although you made it looks great!! Not sure how confident i would be at trying it. GREAT job all around on the car and the wheels!!!!

Awesome looking work Clay. The tires and wheels look fantastic. Ron

You DEFINITELY KNOW YER SHTUFF Mr. Kemp !!! Thanks For Sharing w Us n Have a Blessed Wknd.

Another great video sir... you make it all look so easy.

Nice video clay !

Awesome video Clay, tires look great, can't wait for next video. Rick 🤓✌️

They can be! Sometimes it is hard to believe they will conform. But eventually they soften up enough.

It’s coming together nicely, Clay! Studying how to put decals on cause mine turn out just a little less clean but that’s probably due to using cold water haha. Can’t wait to see the finished car!

I start with warm water in my bowl. But it usually doesn't stay warm for long.

Can't get either decal link to open a new page. Anyone else having this issue with this page? Love it as always Clay.

I used to used liquid mask all the time for my rc car bodies. I tried it once on my Revel Taurus after I had painted the inside with Krylon Gull Gray and the liquid mask pulled it all off.

Great vid Clay!!!! 👌 Really enjoyed, thank you for sharing!!!!

Looks great Clay, I've seen your work years ago. I loved the sprint cars and did you do a Outlaws late model back in the day? Jesus Saves

Mr. Clay, im trying to build a Gordon car and I've had a lot of troubles with the decals. I had to order a second set because I botched the first one so badly. How many coats of micro set do you use before you switch to micro sol? Thanks!

Great tutorial. Wondering when to use the set vs.sol while decaling? Thank you

@ClayKemp

I mostly use the blue bottle. But if a decal is really being stubborn, or I get impatient I will use the red bottle and some heat from my desk lamp to get it to soften up.

What do you use for references for making your builds.

Great video clay. Do you prefer using the mr. hobby liquid mask over the other brands that are available? Thanks!

It is a big AC filter. I cut it down to size so I can get four squares out of one filter. I get it at Walmart here. Like $5 maybe?

Brilliant..! Is this build super-detailed...? If not, I hope you'll do a fully blown-out build with aftermarket details, plumbing and all. Love these videos.....thanks..!!

Really looking good Clay. How do you determine where the stripe goes on the tire? Is it specific or is it random?

@ClayKemp

3 жыл бұрын

It is a little of both. Ideally the stripe should go out from a lug nut, across a solid spoke of the rim. It helps the changer line it up on pit stops. I just eyeball what part of the wheel looks like it will line up with a lug nut and put it there.

Clay, buddy i like your work very much. I have gotta ask what are you painting on those wheels / tires thats silver? If it's wheel weights bud, we race weekly been around the block my entire life racing wheels dont have wheel weights my friend. Not bashing your work just wandering what are you putting on there.
