Looking for a 6 Cyl, pre-wired Distributor.
Redisetta replied to stavanzer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
connkurmodelparts.com. I have ordered from them a few times. I have never been disappointed. Their distributors are second to none in my opinion. Very fast delivery and shipping costs are great. I don’t think you will be disappointed. -
How many models are you working on at one time?
Redisetta replied to rossfox's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Wow Mr Ace, 60 at a time ,you must have had a very very larger work area 😎 -
Charles, I just received my latest order from you which is the dual Holley slant 6. This engine is Fantabulous lol. The detail is incredible. I’m putting it in a 39 Chevy Panel delivery truck. Your engines are second to none. I’m seriously considering swapping out the stock engines in all of my future builds for one of yours. Thanks for what you’re doing for out wonderful hobby. Ray

1967 Mercury M100 4x4
Redisetta replied to Chuck Most's topic in Model Trucks: Pickups, Vans, SUVs, Light Commercial
Chuck, your back stories are just as good as your builds, if you ever give up modeling you can always become a writer. lol -
This is my version of the Moebius F350 tow truck. I decided to have a little fun with this kit. I installed a flashing light from Evan Designs, and created my own decals for the Tow Mater logo. I found an app in the App Store called Print to Size. It does a decent job of downsizing photos without losing a lot of clarity. Paint is Tamiya Mica Red and Tamiya Racing White. I also added some small jewelry chain to the sling for a more realistic look Thanks for looking Ray @ IMG_9974.mov

Wow, great job Scott I love the color. I have also thought about rebuilding one of these, hopefully a lot better than the one i built forever ago. Every time i see one of these it reminds me of my grandpa, whenever we were eating pie , he would always say,” I only like two kinds of pie— hot and cold 🤪

Another new "PayPal" scam via email...
Redisetta replied to Ace-Garageguy's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
It’s a real shame that this happens so frequently anymore. I’m getting scam emails everyday and now I’m also getting scam texts. Bad actors have been around since forever, I guess they’re just moving to the interwebs and our phones to prey on unsuspecting people who fall for their scams. ☹️ Ray -
Model building on youtube.
Redisetta replied to Force's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
If you watch the HPI guys videos, he literally tells you he is building the models so you can see “what’s in the box”. When a new kit is released he gets it from the distributor and builds it on air so we can decide if we want to buy it. He even tells you he is building them super fast for that reason. I think he is valuable to the hobby for the beginner and the seasoned builder alike. If you’re interested in a new release, he’s probably going to have it and build it. In my opinion that’s a great way to decide whether or not you want to purchase the kit. As for the beginner, they might watch one of his videos and say , “I can do this “. Ray- 82 replies

Evansdesigns is a great company. They have lots of led options. I have purchased from them a few times now. I bought a flashing light set up from them but had to incorporate it into the light bar that came with this kit, lots of work , but I’m happy with the outcome IMG_9252.mov

RED Turn Signals/Hazards : WHY ?!?
Redisetta replied to 1972coronet's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
If we could only get people to use them, around me no one signals for a turn anymore ?
