  1. I always draw the door out with a pencil an assemble the mirrors on that and then attach them as one unit. The AMT mirrors are usually a little beefy, sometimes I will make them using smaller rod. I like plastic rod better than metal because I can flatten the ends with plastic rod.
  2. Depending on the resin. I have found that soaking in bleach white (usually overnight), then scrubbing with a cleaning powder like Comet and a toothbrush is the only way to get paint to stick on some resin, especially what I call “milk jug” resin (white almost clear).
  3. I like this one! Looks great!! Excellent work!! I really like your work bench!
  4. Looks like a great collection! They all look great but the yellow Diamond Reo is my favorite!

  6. That looks great!! Very vintage looking!
  7. This is a TRUCK!! I like everything about this one!! Looks great!!
  8. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with on this one, especially the 57. I have one of these that I had hoped to build a replica of the truck that hauled the original engine for Tweetsie Railroad back in the 50s, but it is going to take so much work to get it right that I haven’t attempted it yet. I’m really looking forward to seeing what you do with this one!
  9. I don’t know if you ever found this, but there is one on eBay now. It is s $75.99 or best offer. Spaulding Trading and Shipping has it.
  10. I have found my new favorite racing!!
  11. I thought the same thing! Looks cool though!
  12. Looks Amazing! Excellent scratch building as usual!

  14. Looks great! When can I get a few yards of concrete delivered??
  15. Looks great!! Nice work!
  16. I got mine today!! A big thanks to Tom! Now I actually need to work on something!?
  17. We put the old lint in a can separate from the garbage for later disposal. A ball of the old lint seems to lift stuck lint right off without any problems.
  18. Send me a pm when you have one available or I can keep an eye on Ebay. I won’t be starting this project for a few weeks. I have to finish the one I am on. Thanks for the response!
