  1. Thanks Roger, will put them on the list!
  2. Hi Jason....Yeah my thoughts too! On the computer they look great but when printed, they gain some weight. Its tricky sometimes cause you have to over exaggerate here and there and sometimes you have to under exaggerate to get the right look from computer to physical model. I will keep messing with them. Thanks, Bill
  3. Working on these too! Struggling to get the letters clearer. The whole thing is 1 cm in diameter
  4. Thanks Tom, can;t wait to see the GMC build!
  5. Hi Roy, I used some tires I got off the web and put them with my wheels but unfortunately, I can't offer them as they have issues and I can't get them to print consistently without problems. For my build, it took 4 attempts to get success, plus the tires are not my creations so I won't be selling them for that reason also. Here are pics of the latest attempt a few days ago. As you can see, they are full of holes and fill up with resin, then leak for days and days. I may try to make some myself eventually but right now I have many other things to work on first. thanks, Bill
  6. Thanks Sergey, I have the diameter posted for the ford dually wheels (if you click on the pic) but I see I need to put the depth as well and the measurements for the GM wheels, thanks for bringing that to my attention.
  7. Thanks Mike! Glad you like them!
  8. Thanks Ralph. The outer diameter is 16.5mm on the fronts including the ring on the outside, which comes out to about a 16 inch wheel for 1/25 scale, the rears are 17mm due to an extra lip on the outside like a split ring thing but the wheel itself comes in at about 16mm same as the fronts. The depth was tricky but I made them about 7.07mm from lugs to back ring (front wheels) and rear are close to same, maybe a hair narrower and they all have a small lip on the back so people can either use that or sand it off and use their own wheel backs. I hope to expand these and make bigger wheels like 17" or bigger eventually. Hope this helps.
  9. Thanks Jason, been sleeping in my "mancave" but its all good!!!
  10. Hi Tom, I was referring to the v6 emblems on the front fenders. (That is what I threw in your order) I don't have the hubcaps finished yet but they are on the list.
  11. I just wanted to let everyone know that the dually wheels are available now and I have, since posting this build, created the whole front suspension for this conversion and it is also available at https://www.rookieresin.com/ Thank you all! Bill
  12. Hello everyone! I updated the website and added a few things. I changed a few prices so hopefully certain things are more affordable. For those that purchased those items at a higher rate, E-mail me at rookieresin@gmail.com and I will discount your next purchase. I fixed some shipping prices for international sales. I also added a specific GMC grill for the AMT kit as the kit is a bit wider and my grill is accurate for 1:1 but it looked narrow for the AMT cab. I apologize for any inconvenience and if you purchased a GMC grill with intent to use the AMT cab, PM me and I will make it right. I tried to think of everything when launching the site but missed a few things along the way and hopefully we won't see anymore problems. Thanks again everyone! Bill https://www.rookieresin.com/
  13. Go here https://www.rookieresin.com/ I have the 305 V6 engine for the conversion.
  14. Truck looks great Jim! Its the first time I have seen my grill in a finished fashion! You did a great job bringing it to life! The prescription bottle I mentioned was a darker orange (cough syrup) but the lighter color looks good too! Can't wait to see this build finished!
  15. This kit has an inline (straight) 6 (all cylinders in a line) GMC offered the V6 (3 cylinders on each side and block is a V shape).
  16. Thanks Tom I will definitely look into that! The reason the hubcaps aren't ready yet is the bow tie doesn't want to cooperate!
  17. Got the badges covered, I will throw some in your order Tom as a gift.
  18. Here is the update with the shocks and mounts. This and the wheels will be available in a few days on the website. Thanks for checking it out!
  19. Here are the shots of the shock mounts and everything. Test fitted the main assembly and it is good. Sorry for the crappy pics and don't pay any attention to all the green tape! The engine cradle will require the shock/spring perches to be hacked off.
  20. Will do Jason, I forgot the shock mounts and shocks so working on that now. I guess it will be a 6 piece unit instead of four.
  21. They are made of resin, washed in two baths of alcohol then hardened under UV lamp. They should be primed/painted due to UV sensitivity but otherwise should be fine. I don't think there will be a problem with long term creep as the parts get really hard with time and I think they would break before bending but honestly I don't know at this time.
  22. Hello Jeff, here is the link to my website: https://www.rookieresin.com/
  23. Hi everyone! Thought I should start a new thread as I am offering items other than the Ford grills. I am currently working on front suspension for the 62-66 Ford F350 2wd trucks as a few of you mentioned that you would like something for the new Moebius kits rolling out now. I searched high and low for ANY reference on these trucks and found nothing for measurements or any details but I have a folder packed with pictures and other references and came up with this assembly. It is not 100% accurate due to what I already mentioned plus I am making this to fit the frame available with the kit so bare with me. Let me know what you think! It will be available as a 4 piece component with out wheels (sold separately) I am about to offer the wheels with out tires. They are 16.5mm at the widest point which is the outermost rim. It translates to about a 16 inch wheel in 1/25. Thank you to everyone for your support and positive feedback on my other parts. Here is the hub in the wheel for reference.
