crazyjim Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Yo Lyn. It was great seeing you and your Mom yesterday. Hopefully we made some progress. Your collection has certainly dwindled since the last trip. Terry was amazed! We both had a great time and are looking forward to the next trip.

The color was like a dark grass green hahaha.. it so irked him to paint it that color but he did not sure what happened to that model, pretty sure there is a picture of it somewhere though.... good memories good memories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I'm thinking of drilling the holes, attaching a wire or string, and then trying trying some Fuzzi Fur (flocking) on them. Hopefully they'll look like the fussy dice of olden days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they'll look like the fussy dice of olden days. Marshall was kind enough to make a set and send them back to me made, that is how I knew what to do with them. He also had an idea of maybe useing paint or glue on them then tossing em in a baggy with the flock then dotting them with paint when they were dry, I don't know if he's tried that or not. the set he sent back to me turned out awesome though. I would think if you could get the seams right you could use felt would take a very steady hand though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 Anytime I've touched paint to flocking the paint just flows into the flocking. I think the dots have to be done first. The Fiats are in the purple pond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was probably 9 there from the when the picture could have been taken at my Grandparents house, I have blocked out a lot of my childhood but I can kind of remember building a model there. LOL evidently I did, we have proof hahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
