Do you hate those unsightly ejector pin marks on the underside of your model car? I have a way to hide them and without the use of any body fillers.

That printed circuit board holder turned rotisserie is a great idea. I have one & never considered using it for models. I love your technique for hiding ejector pin marks. Thanks for sharing!

[@Memorylanemodelcars2]

Luka Cee there Are Tons of Ways to Deal With Ejector Pin Marks like Front Carpet Area on AMT kits I Hide them With Floor Mats. Others U Sand Off. Some U Texture Over with Glazing putty Saran 0:43 Wrap & Sandpaper for Carpet Texture Match

[@garyparker2969]

Super C😎😎 LL Tip Sir, thanks n Have a Blessed Week Ahead.

[@kimskustomgarage9578]

Nice little tip there. Thanks :-)

[@Studiocraft1971]

Great tip Luka . Keep cranking them out 👍👍👍👍👍

[@robcates2383]

You building Buddy Baker's K &K INSURANCE, CHARGER! We used to race a charger class car at Lakeside Speedway, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS!Back in the late 80s, somebody a restored car, out to o show off, it was a hemi car it sounded amazing!!!!

[@KarlScaleModeling]

Great tip, will definitely become useful when we meet such defects. Thanks for the share 👍🏼👍🏼

[@michaelcooke2559]

Great tutorial. That is certainly something I will try. You have really been rolling out the content over the past few days. I love it.

[@markbucey7057]

Great tip man I learn something every one of your viedos I watch Thank You

[@vacustoms]

Nice solution. And thanks for the scraper tip. Gotta find me one of those..... there's only so much you can do with 320 grit... let's hear it for craters... yeehaa...

[@bobham1061]

Nice trick, going to use it next build. Congrats, you're rocking on in 2022!

[@greghall1307]

Never thought of doing this. Great idea. You are building the #32 Simonize Dadge

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope

[@ruy1050]

Great hint! Thanks for sharing!

[@Oliver01958]

My best guess would be the Purple an Yellow Marty Robbins Charger.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope

[@mitchmichalec7619]

That would have been my guess. Or I should say my hope.

[@FunWithHOScaleStuff]

The water sounds in the opening scene reminded me of an article I read some time back where the modeler added bird sounds to their heavy growth trees using a looped recording, small amp and hidden speaker. It added a cool effect to the model. Might be some of your subscribers have done some similar sound projects.

[@mikes9971]

This is a great idea I never considered. It could definitely be useful for those pesky ejector pin marks in the floor of interior tubs too!

[@cliffthompson4004]

Nice little tip thanks for sharing

[@johnnymayo8534]

Great idea!! Wish I had thought of this on my last build!! lol

[@rickzinck9326]

Cool tip. Thanks for the demonstration.

[@dongallowayjr3435]

Another great how-to ! Thanks for sharing , it well help me spend a bit more time looking at ways to improve my model building !

[@BiteMeHarder333]

Slick trick Man. Nice clean look too though I must admit that when I saw "no putty," I was really hoping you were revisiting that sprue-goo you seemed to love so much. Thanks for the newly shared tip!

[@BiteMeHarder333]

Was being sarcastic about the sprue-goo by the way. I mixed some up last night in an almost depleted Tamiya Extra Thin bottle in case I find a use to try it out. Seems sketchy and messy but... I made it, gotta try it on something eventually.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

That was a truly awesome tip/tutorial, brother! I’ll definitely be giving that a try, thank you! 🙏🏻😁 My guess would be a Marty Robins car 🤔

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope

[@terrystrickland1471]

LuKa Cee, Knows !!

[@tymfortoys]

Great idea!! keep them coming!!

[@carlkandetzki9077]

Excellent information going to try this

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Im glad that this helps. I put this model up over the past couple of years. I just pulled it out last night. As soon as I'm done with my current project. I'm getting back on it. Thanks for watching.

[@urbanurchin5930]

This might be a place where using the "sprue goo" might come in handy - if you are patient enough to let it dry all the way. Maybe this build is going to be some sort of Daisy Dukes Sebring / grocery getter......

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Cool idea, but Nope

[@ronstewart9792]

Awesome tip Luka, makes it look great. Ron

[@martinzeller401]

Great tip thanks for sharing

[@CarDreamsinStyrene]

[@bigcharliesmodelgarage296]

Nice. Thanks for the tip.

[@The55nomad]

[@smokinjoe3117]

Great tip Luka, my guess is that you're building #42 Marty Robbins

No sir

[@JHartModelworks]

Awesome tip. Thanks!

[@marcosfernandeznanita7150]

Great video, thanks for sharing

Ty for sharing

[@MileHighScaleModeler]

Very cool tutorial, Luka!

[@roysradscalemodels9031]

Great tip thanks a lot

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

Great idea!

[@douglasmitchell5033]

I also make filler parts for where the 2 parts come together. Eliminating the gap making it look like a one part chassis.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Me too

[@theintake8961]

Great tip. Thanks for the video 😎👍

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

And I thought this video was going to turn into a game of Hide & Go Seek!!! 👍🙂😉😃

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

😆🤣

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

Great idea. That would work on different models like tanks too. 👍

[@paulmcwilliams1709]

I think that NASCAR Car should be built as a Marty Robbins NASCAR. That's what I would build it as. Are there any decals to build his car???

[@kevinzilly7201]

great tip!!

[@BGsModelWorkshop]

A very cool tip!!

[@drppr76]

Neil Bonnett #5??? Or the #8 the Dale Earnhardt made his Cup debut at Charlotte

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope😁

[@ScaleModelCarBuilder]

My guess is the 10,000 RPM Earnhardt #8.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope😁

[@deenjoan9938]

And another cool tip thanks

[@drppr76]

Jack McCoy's last ride - the #7 or a #04 Herschell McGriff or Joe Milikan car - maybe Woody Fisher's (I think that's his name) ARCA car

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nice ones. But Nope

[@donnevin2273]

BuddyBaker #11Charger.

[@jasongriffin8849]

[@conniepowell9309]

Is it the Nascar with the green/black/yellow one bro 🤔

[@drppr76]

Wendell Scott #5 Kmart or #67 of Buddy Arrington

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope and nope. But those two guesses were firsts.

[@webbylobo8222]

Pro Street

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

😆

[@JPKelly-xr7tr]

Excellent Idea! What is the jig / rotating tool you are using - ?

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

It's for circuit boards. I did a video on it.

[@susancarr9955]

Haha! I've got one of those in my soldering kit. I never thought it'd be useful for plastic models.

[@JPKelly-xr7tr]

@@TheLukaCeeChannel Thanks!

[@jonflanagin6682]

Love your videos. Do you anyone that makes a 1/25 scale Daytona nose and wing. I want to put them on an El Camino.

[@drppr76]

Jim Vandiver or Frank Warren 🤔

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope

[@drppr76]

I give up then

[@jimmellons9209]

I'm thinking Marty Robbins

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope. That is one of the top guesses.

[@chrailroad6708]

Maybe the Olympia beer car

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

No, buy that's a good one.

[@dennisragosa2240]

Marty Robbins.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Nope

[@dennisragosa2240]

@@TheLukaCeeChannel how bout the Olympia beer charger that went to lemans?

[@dennisragosa2240]

Did I get it?

[@proudnavyveteran]

So that is a printed circuit board holder? Where can I get one? Thanks

[@proudnavyveteran]

I just googled it found it.

[@TheLukaCeeChannel]

Cool. It's worth it

[@gregorydegross1949]
