Oh no Joe!!!!! All that work down the drain not including the cost of the resin and paint. However, you are now a better modeler as a result.

I have good news to report that I have remedied my rubbery resin body caused by stripping the paint with Scale Coat. This is how I did it:
After washing and cleaning the body with dish soap and water; I put it in a dehydrator for 2 days. I then lightly sanded it Then applied 2 coats of Aluminum plate METALIZER . Then it was put back in the dehydrator overnight. The body now seems usable and is ready for paint.

Interesting Ron. Hoping I get some more feed back.

I put an old painted resin body in Scale Coat to remove the paint. Unfortunately, I left the resin body in too long. The paint did come off. However, the body now has a rubbery pliable texture to it. It seems as if I could use for a build though. Not sure if it will hold paint? And, will the resin body become more rubbery with time? Thought maybe if I shot it with Metalizer it might firm it up a bit? Or, should I just "chuck It"? Any help.

Tremendous build! Thank you for posting.

Tremendous builds! Might I ask with their size 1/16, how do you display or store these? Would like to build on this scale, however I would have difficulty putting these on display.

Thank you for the compliments. Jesse, I did build a cow catcher for the front. Was not sure if this version had one on the front? Could not find any reference PICS. Might you know? I know there is a cow catcher on Hemi version and the current reproduction. A cow catcher does add a nostalgic touch.

I was inspired to do this model by the tremendous "Freight Train" builds of Steve Perry and John Teresi. Hope you like.

Very Nice build. Thanks for posting

Thanks for the nice comments. No, I don't have a link to the toy trash truck. I purchased it at a discount second hand store for one dollar. I had to do major cutting and reshaping to make it a rear loader. I do remember the Mattel name on the bottom of it when I was hacking. It would be nice if a resin maker would come out rear loader garbage truck body.

Hi Guys
This is my 2nd attempt at a truck build. It is a MPC Mack DM 600 with a heavily modified garbage truck body that was taken from a Mattel front loader trash toy truck. The wheels and tires are from American Industrial Truck Models. The decals are hand made.

I do like the tire combination that you plan on using. Can you please tell me about the slicks (from Hugh) that you are going to use (i.e type, size)? Thanks.

Will be watching for your posts with "heavy lenses". The Hemi Under Glass is on my future build list. Thanks for posting a great reference PIC.

Thank you for the kind words. The body is a resin AI Mack body over the International Pay Star 5000 Mixer chassis and mixer. The paint is Tamiya Camel Yellow. The decals are home made.

Does anyone make 1/25 scale lever handles for lever valves ?

I have utilized Alclad, Bare Metal Foil, Testers Chrome Paint and chrome plating for producing a chrome finish. Has anyone used anything else that produces a realistic chrome finish for styrene and or resin?

Terry & Mark. Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate your help.

Open resin parachute?
in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Posted
Contemplating building a 1/25 scale funny car with the parachute opened out the back. Have the parachute from the AMT Blue Max F/C Mustang kit. However, the parachute in the kit is not opened. Might anyone know if a 1/25 opened resin parachute is available in kit form or from a resin caster? Thanks.
