Does anyone make car horns?
stitchdup replied to roadhawg's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
if you have a printer theres a few files to choose from on cults. some are included in engine bay upgrade sets and some are just on their own. -
cool project, your body mods flow pretty nice with each other too

Finger nail powder chrome works great
stitchdup replied to my66s55's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
In theory you should be able to thin it with acrylic thinners as its usually just thick car paint. I was experimenting with another of the products you use the gel with. Its patterned chrome sheets but i was finding the same issues with the ribbed effect from the brush. I'm going to try thinning it with tamiya thinners and see if it gives a better finish. If it works it opens up some more possibilities for coloured chromes as the sheets are similar to using gold leaf. I would suspect that the powders are just finely grained foil dust. I might pop in past one of the local places that nails and ask their advice too since i'll be at that end of the town later -
Italian Outlaws and Restomods
stitchdup replied to Matt Bacon's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
thats a pretty car, i can see some 60s racer style in it -
i ordered from them before the lockdowns and it was about ten bucks to scotland. it took about a month but you have to expect that with packages from south america. the parts are nice and the exchange rate might change your mind if you pick the right time of week as it seems to be quite variable. when i ordered it worked out about 2-1 in my favour one day and near 1-1 the next for pounds the next. it might be different now as the site has been updated since i ordered but it did surprise me how much i got for my money. it was a few years back and i can take pics of the parts i got if you like. the billet steering column stuck out to me as a $5 bargain that i wish i got more off at the time.

I was sure I had posted in here but i guess i forgot. some of these are no longer in one piece or have become parts donors. and some are still in progress Model A coupe 32 coupe (managed to get the valve covers upside down) 32 roadster 36 coupe 37 sedan/53 vette 71 cuda 78 firebird 86 monte carlo I recently traded all my johans for mongram kits so I'll have more at some point (i decided to limit myself to 1/24 scale due to running out of space). I've also been gethering the flat box hot rod kits and have been quite sucessful at finding minters for built up prices

i thought it was restored for the last version. guess i was wrong. its one of my fav bits in the kit and i have loads of builds i could use them on. I'm going to have to learn to cast them i guess -

For those of you interested in vintage lemans cars there is currently a pair of jaguar race cars cast in metal. Not cheap but these dont show up very often even on this side of the pond -

my packages seem to evaporate when they go through chicago, but only going into the usa, the ones leaving just get held up for 6 weeks -
a member kalled kpnuts has done the fabric covering on his bentley. It was a 3 or 4 years back and i think theres a build thread for it. I cant remember what fabric he used but i'm sure it will say in the thread, possibly it would be book binding leather as its pretty thin and has a little stretch in it

the replacement resin feeder for my printer arrived today. great service from anycubic and no problem getting the replacement part. now i can do bigger prints again without having to get up in the middle of the night to refill the tank. they even included another full set of the tools that come with the printer

What did you see on the road today?
stitchdup replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
that looks like a japanese import, the bumper and fenders are for sure as the euro and us versions had fog lights instead of air vents. it might shock you how much those bumpers cost now -
Theres a 3d printed chassis for the 67/8/9 chevy to build it pro street. It might be an option that would work on the dodge with a little tweaking being they are both the same general length and body shape. But I would say to try building your own first, you'll get more satisfaction from it and its a great way to push your skills. If it doesn't work out its no big loss but you will see as your working on it where you need to alter parts. As a friend says, it only plastic and it can be reused for other things so its not a waste. What I've done is draw out the bottom of the chassis on paper, then i use that as my template. It is helpful to have your suspension when you build too, nothing is more irritating than building the chassis and finding out your suspension parts have nothing to mount to, or the wheels wont fit under the arches.
