alan barton Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 I'm sure Dennis Lacey has shown these before on his threads, especially seeing as how he mastered them, but this week I received a parcel from Ed Fluck at Drag City Castings. Boy, was I impressed! First of all I wanted to show you these rooves ( or tops) for 29 and 32 roadsters. I bought two of the 29s and 3 of the 32s. They are perfect - no other word for it! How often do you get to take something out of the box, wash it, paint it, and it's finished? i sprayed the rooves in Tamiya white primer and Wood Deck Tan and Flat Black and then started trying them out on different models from my cabinets. In case you are wondering, the 1/25th scale roof fits just fine on the Monogram 1/24th scale roadster as well. So that you can see what they can do to your roadsters, I took a bunch of photos as seen below. I also bought one each of the chopped 32 3 window, chopped 32 five window, chopped four door sedan and the 32 roadster pickup bodies. A credit to Dennis Lacey's modelling skills and Ed Fluck's casting skills. I cannot find ANY evidence that the four door was ever cut and shut. This is aftermarket modelling at its finest! For all you international modellers out there ( ie, non- North American), I can tell you that Ed's packing was compact yet strong and there was no damage at all after five weeks on the high seas ( or high planes or something). He was particularly busy when I placed the order for myself and Jackson Bull but he kept us informed of progress on our order and did everything possible for a smooth transaction. Right down to writing "A" or"J" on our respective parts so it was easy to divvy up! Good service deserves recognition, it is far too easy to bag the bad ones and forget about the good ones. I'm sure I will be ordering again some time soon. Cheers Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spex84 Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 I see you pronounce the plural for "roof" the same way we do in Canada As opposed to the american "ruhfs". Ed's resin is always immaculate. Those up-tops are sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
restoman Posted March 28, 2021 Share Posted March 28, 2021 I picked up a couple of those rooves from Ed. They're beautiful, but pretty much everything he offers is top-shelf! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
