David G. Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 the same style as mine? They're similar and a little unusual. I've only seen two or three other sets on other Rangers, so I imagine that the chances of finding a 1:25 set out there are very small. I've been researching ways of building them myself, and what you've got going is sure to be helpful. Regards, David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

made007 Posted February 14, 2011 Author Share Posted February 14, 2011 (edited) My resin its been stored for too long, now its old and its making bubbles, casted like 7 rims and took theese 4 that were the best, but i have to order some new resin, here are the pics: i ran out of Mr surfacer 500, so i did a Tamiya gray putty and laquer thinner solution to fill the bubbles in the resin, i put some in a small cap and aplied with a small brush: Edited February 14, 2011 by made007 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
