Hey, you can't prove I said that.

A pint can of Sci-Grip Weld-On 4 Acrylic Solvent. 18 bucks. Cheaper by volume than the one and two ounce bottled stuff. Johan Fire Rescue Ambulance Got this more for the lower control arms than anything else I'll make copies for other '63-'66 Johan Caddys which I plan to replace the kit chassis with modded Revellogram '59/'60 versions. I had to scratch a set from photos and it was a royal pain.

Tired of your normal build subjects?

Manufacturers Hanover had a series of "Anycar" car loan ads in the 1970s. The first two Anycars were designed by Gene Winfield. The third was a George Barris creation: -
I'm waiting to hear back about another 300 I was interested in, Carl. If it works out, I'll let you know and we could do some horse trading.

That hobby shop might actually still be in the old millennium. Those inter-dimensional portals can be be quite annoying, popping up where you least expect them. Heck, one time I started drinking in a club in Garmsch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria and the next thing I remember was waking up in Innsbruck, Austria.

I was referring to what Atlantis, or other companies, produce/reissue kitwise. The Sealab was released only once, in 1970. Masterpiece Models makes a Sealab III Resin Assembly Kit, which is an exact copy of the Aurora kit.
-
From Atlantis' "About Us": "Another project that was important to us was the Aurora Sealab kit. Unfortunately this project suffered the same fate as the Gladiators. A very high tooling cost and not enough pre-orders just couldn't justify us going forward with the project. It was a real heartbreaker as once again we had all the art ready and had the parts scanned by our factory in China." We could always cross our fingers and hope this'll go through in the future.

Like Forest Hanks allegedly said, "Wondering about what molds Atlantis got is like going to a Chinese restaurant and ordering the house special. You never know what to expect until the waiter brings your plate."
-
That's the ticket, Richard. Not everything needs to be car-related. Atlantis was able to get a large selection of molds which haven't tasted hot styrene in decades. Iy'll be interesting to see what they are. Maybe Rick picked up the molds for the Aurora Bomarc and other missile kits.
-
Pretty close. The King Tiger also used similar fan housings. Tiger Model Designs makes them. If the special effects folks who created the Millennium Falcon scrounged Panther fan housings, they'll work just fine in this swell FrankenChebby.

Stevens International has it listed as "In Stock"; but, you know that ain't the case yet.

Is Resin Realm in business or not?
SfanGoch replied to GaryR's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Where did you read that? Post a link. Obviously, Resin Realm/Star Models is still in business since the styrene kit lists were updated on Oct 9 and I order from there regularly. Why don't you email Steve @ stevekohler@cox.net? He replies promptly and will let you know if what you're looking for is available. -

Double post. -
If you're referring to this Why would Revell change anything? It bought up the remaining inventory of GS kits from Accurate miniatures and reboxed them. Nothing more. If you want the correct exhaust headers, get Historic Racing Miniatures HRM-503

Use a semigloss/gloss clear and you'll achieve the proper finish.
