Is anybody familiar with F&F Resin?
Mr. Metallic replied to Riser70's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Build it, that's what they were made for. Or sell it now while it has value. Before you know it 3D will be tailor printing just about any subject you can think of and the resins guys are hording will drop in value. Don't get me wrong, I'm a big resin guy and have lots of it. But the way 3D is improving exponentially year after year the old Modelhaus and F+F kits that are currently commanding unreal prices will see their demand fall. There's still a place for resin casting today, I'm just referring to the old full kits floating around. -
Found this one while I was searching for Willys pickup builds. Beautiful build @geetee66 Saw a builtup at a show using these decals and thought it was so cool I tracked down a kit. Now I've heard some not great things about this kit on the whole, so i was thinking about using the decals on the AMT version. But then I saw Flintstone offers the pickup conversion for the newer Revell kit. I'm not sure which direction to head now.

Stumbled on this while searching for something else and wondered if there was ever any additional progress on it @Rocking Rodney Rat -
Nice build of a tough kit. I'd be interested the the decals, especially the panel decals, if you don't want them?
-
Looking for the decals sheet, and maybe the blue glass from this kit if anyone has the decals they would let go. i have plenty of these AMT 53 Stude kits already so I don't really want to buy another whole kit for the decals.

"Simple" Revell 30 Model A Coupe. finished 4/11/2022
Mr. Metallic replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Thank you very much. When I wrote it I was kind of treating it as a template for a how to article but was never approached about it. Glad some people found it helpful. -
There's an AMT Parts Pack with gold line tires?

BEAUMONT STATION WAGON: this time a 1966
Mr. Metallic replied to TheBEAUMONTGURU's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Just curious what's wrong with the AMT (former Lindberg I believe) 66 Chevelle kit? If I'm correct that was tooled in the late 90's when Lindberg was doing some pretty good work. -
Finished, 9/11 Tribute Fire Engine showrod
Mr. Metallic replied to Mr. Metallic's topic in WIP: Model Cars
Jeez, this was a blast from the past. Thanks for bringing it up. -
Great build. Where is the intake setup from?

The 55-56 Vics have a special place in my heart since my dad owned a custom 55 while I was growing up, and we went to several of the national Crown Vic club meetings. Glad to see you are able to get back to the bench, love your work.

The widely available AMT 53 Ford pickup will give you the frame you need. -
Bigger scale 'T' parts.
Mr. Metallic replied to HotRodaSaurus's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
The "gold plating" is just yellow tinted paint applied over the chrome. I have successfully removed it with a short soak in 91% alcohol. -
TOO MUCH PAINT!
Mr. Metallic replied to goldfinger's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Any of those Model Master paints the Metallizers? I'd be interested -
Jay this thing is killer. I don't get to come around here as often as I used to, but when I do it's nice to have some detailed hot rod and kustom action to check out. You nailed the stance and body mods on this. Looking forward to color.
