ADRENALINE JUNKIES MODEL KITS
TO THE RESCUE

By blind, stupid luck my partner/sponsor finally received her commercial decal machine recently and has been learning and practicing. She volunteered to step in to save the day on my Ta**us decal debacle. In three hours she had it down and in the mail the next morning. I received them today and I don’t even know what to say except….I’m back in business and I have a deadline to keep.

So, in a round about way I got to be the test monkey. I am not disappointed. The quality seems to be on par with many others. I’m impressed and I highly recommend them if you are looking for an alternative source. By the skin of my teeth and some luck, my deadline will be met! Thank you AJ Model Kits!

I shared the link to their decal ordering system on my previous post. Check them out!

Custom decal consult page is loaded. I have 5 available spot as I am still new and learning but have successfully printed everything from teeny tiny sponsor decals to all my larger decals for my models.

5 spots because I want to be able to give each of you the time you need and the decals with speed

Thanks for joining my growth journey!

Never again STS, NEVER AGAIN!!!

Two tries, $68 total investment, and almost 3 months time. And I STILL have no usable decals! Though the sizing is spot on this time around…..IT’S MISSING THE BULL! That’s kind of an important element of the door logo!!! I won’t even touch on the fact that the trucks resized sponsor decals were requested and apparently disregarded while your personal decals made it into the package. Unbelievable!

It’s a hard pass from me on future business and/or recommendations. You’ve earned that! ✌️✌️✌️

BUYER BEWARE!

TIP OF THE DAY

To add depth, definition, and realism, always use panel lining to highlight the creases between the body panels, doors, hoods, trunks, gas tank doors, etc. In reality, these are not painted surfaces but dark, hollow backgrounds that are projected as such. Stand back and look at any vehicle. You don’t see painted seam lines unless it is a one piece fiberglass body. You see dark lines. You also want that panel lining to have a dull or flat finish as, again, it is not a painted surface. In fact, it’s really not supposed to be a surface at all and that’s what you’re trying to depict. Apply the panel lining after you’ve applied gloss to the model. It will dry in a matte finish. There are lots of options for achieving this. There are washes, pens, etc. Give your build some depth by highlighting those panels.

Oh, and that background noise in the photo……that’s the only sneak peek you’re getting of my Ta**us! Maybe just a little shameless placement on my part to keep y’all focused. 😂😂😂
