Model Car Show in Western New York
Frankiebe replied to Frankiebe's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I am in the Buffalo NY area. If were to have a show it would be in Marilla NY during the Marilla car show in July. The Watkins Glen show was a nice show when I went there about 15 years ago, not sure what the status is now. -

Hello All Just finished up the master for a Dual Master and Power Brake unit in 1/25th Scale. I will be making the mold this week. Anybody out there looking for parts, I'll be casting some up by next week. I also have some other parts I'll be making. I'll be getting a list together of everything I'll be doing. Let me know if there is anything you are looking for. Frank B

Welding or soldering diecast metal
Frankiebe replied to sjordan2's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
For welding or soldering diecast metal or aluminum try looking at www.alumaloy.com they sell welding rods that work with a propane torch. Saw a TV ad on it, looks like it works pretty good. -
Hello All Well here we are three years later, I have been slowly picking at this project, and here to post some updated pictures. I am almost embarrassed to post anything because this project is taking so long. I have had other projects in between and also started resin casting some of the parts for this truck. Resin casting was always in the back of mind to try, and come to find out its not that hard to do after all. You just have to plan your molds so you can pour good parts.

Merry Christmas to everyone, Well here is teh lasted update on the marathon build. The past year I have working on making some molds for the scratch built parts I have made for this truck. So far I have done the hood, engine, rear axle, and some parts for other club members. I have attached some photos of the progress so far, I hope to finish this sometime soon.

I heard the same thing that Tenex7 is back on the market. What I heard was they could not get bottles. I guess they have the issue resolved, so you should see it back on the shelves at your LHS. Talk too you soon.

1962 Issue of Big Daddy Roth's Outlaw
Frankiebe replied to bigskybob's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Hello. Nice Kit. I just built this kit over the summer. It was a 1994 Re-Issue printed on the box. Check your box to make sure its original. The 1994 decals were a bit tough to put on even though they were relitivly new. The older decals are probably brittle and will fall apart in the water. The decals are the main thing with this kit.

Hey Mike Thanks for the tip. I got a sheet of 1/32 basswood cut it into strips and stained it so it looks like oak. The chrome strips are going to be Evergreen I beam shapes, sprayed with Alclad Chrome. This will be my first experience with Alclad. Should be interesting, with more experiments. I decided to go with HOC Candy Apple red. The past experiments were close but a little too much trouble to get the color I was looking for.
