I remember My Mother The Car with Jerry Van Dyke and Ann Sothern, as Gladys Crabtree, the voice of the car...My mom watched it which means, us kids did.....lol More More oddball model kits.Oh Yeah, I'm 60, so I do remember it well.....I this one when I was a young boy and painted it with a brush. Here is one I bet you don't remember ! Art
  3. Norm is one of the nicest persons to deal with. I dealt with him many years ago and he got me started and helped me several times with tips when I was starting up my resin casting business. Checkout the aftermarket directory..... ABC Specialties Resin Casting Art
  4. Hey! guys, I have some 1/24th scale police items on my web site. Go to the aftermarket directory and click on ABC Specialties and check them out... Thanks, Art
  5. I've had several requests to do a Nascar Driver Kool Box, but not sure if there would be any demand or if one's been cast already! Just the Kool Box, not helmet. *Checkout the Aftermarket Directory for ABC Specialties Resin Casting. Art

  8. Great job, looks very real and great eye for detailing...
  9. I used the white painters pin alot and they come in other colors and have a fine tip....
  10. ABC Specialties has model car police items. http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/
  11. I would think that is just a tad long in parts coming...Checkout when his site was last updated, as that is a sign something is wrong. 2011!
  12. I myself try and get parts orders back within 1-4 weeks or sooner. Some people do not understand that most of the aftermarketers are single person operations. I try and give the best parts possible, as I got so tired of waiting for parts and when they came it took forever to clean them or fix them....lol Art http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/
  13. I seen one made some time ago using paper towels as the fabric. There are some very strong paper towels that could take the paint, etc. Art
  14. Checkout ABC Specialties Resin Casted items. http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/ Art
  15. I have been casting for many years and I always pre-wet the mold with a small amount of resin from a dipped Q Tip in resin first and rub it around mold and then pour the resin, but I never really pour it unless it is a large mold. I use Pop cycle sticks that you can buy a 1000 at hobby lobby, Michaels, or other places. I dip the sticks into the resin and drop a few drops into wheel mold and then use a toothpick to finish. I have used the same companies for my casting materials for over 10 years now. I buy my rubber from a company in Kansas and my resin from a company in Chicago.. Good Luck.

  16. I seen one that somebody had Vacuformed and it look pretty good, but it was some time ago. Art
  17. If you have a good printer get you some decal sheets and do your own. Take photos of what you need or design your own which I like doing myself. I do my own graphics and decals on my police units along with badges etc. It's so much better when you use a made up department or design.... http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/diecast-police-car--2/canyon-co-charger.html http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/diecast-police-car--2/mncpp-mp4.html#media http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/ Art
  18. Thanks! guys. A lot of work goes into them.... Art
  19. For those of you that would like to have chrome parts on your hot rod or a Nascars or even have old model car parts chromed, this might be the answer. I found this by accident and some of you may be aware of this, but some might not know. If it works as good, as it shows..... Check these videos out...! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvtRYZ5EasA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-1cTpSZ1l8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3V_2dhklg4E Art
  20. Here is short videos of the Canyon Co. Sheriff's Dodge Charger in action. (Run Time: 2 Mins. 3 Sec.) Maryland Capitol Police Ford Crown Vic. (Run Time: 1 Min. 52 Sec.) All graphics, decals, lights, etc. were done by me. http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/diecast-police-car--2/canyon-co-charger.html http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/diecast-police-car--2/mncpp-mp4.html#media
  21. With the detail that appears on these, just keep your fingers crossed they do some cars and those would be awesome!
  22. I have been casting for over 12 years now ABC Specialties and have used the same resin products from Glenmarc Industries in Chicago. They are fast at getting your items to you and have all the resin types you need. The prices are not that bad, but the service is awesome and I think so are the products..... I get my rubber from Silicones Inc. in NC and again have used them for several years. http://public.fotki.com/Goodguyinar416/ Both places usually get my order to me within 4 or 5 days...most of the time sooner! http://www.glenmarc.com/ http://silicones-inc.com/
  23. Is that photo quality you printed in or try using glossy photo paper !
  24. Check this site out for a new micro 3D printer that is coming out. It will be awesome if it works as good as shown...It's only $200.00 to $300.00 dollars. There are 2 videos to watch! Art http://www.engadget.com/2014/04/07/The-micro-3d-printer/?ncid=txtlnkusaolp00000589
