That looks awesome I really like it I wish one of the model company's would make a 73 GTO with LeMans parts to make it a 2-in-1 type of kit.

Is Resin Realm in business or not?
rickcaps55 replied to GaryR's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Hi just email Steve at star models I have bought both plastic and resin kits from him for over 15 years he's a very nice guy and safe to deal with it may take a day to get a reply but he works to he never takes any money if the item is not in stock that's why you have to email him first if he has the item you can order it he does not have it he will not take the order. -
Wow !! that's going to be awesome I have always loved the 53 Stude that car was 20 years a head of it's time with looks and drive by using the modern roof it blends right in love it.

50 Austin coupe chassis
rickcaps55 replied to 68shortfleet's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
That is a copy of the Revell 41 Willys street rod and it looks like the one I got almost 15 years ago from Perry Resin from Canada it was to lower the stand on the kit. -
LOL brother I'm with you.!!! Lets just get the new models out we are model builders so fix and build I have said it be for I'm 66 and started in the model car hobby in 1962 so it's been 56 years and in all that time no one and I mean no one has ever come to my house and looked at the cars I have built and said to me dam that's not right it's deferent from the real car.!!!!! and to all the guys my age be for the net if anyone did complain no one ever know about it LOL I like that way.!!!! Sorry but this is the problem with the young builders they want it all perfect when they get it and that's why 90% can't use tools today learn to fix the problems your self.!!!

News of Revell molding preparing in US
rickcaps55 replied to Jon Cole's topic in Car Kit News & Reviews
Ok I have to say this.! I'm 66 and I built my first model in 1962 it was an AMT 62 Ford Fairlane and I have been building for 56 years and I have built just about every main kit out there SMP AMT Revell MPC JoHan and all the new ones I understand a lot of guys that like to see the model look as close to the real car as it can get and so do I but I have to tell you guys something in 56 years I have had friends and family and others look at my models and not one time in 56 years have I had anyone say ho man it's not right the chrome is wrong or the windows are wrong or the dip in the fender is not right it takes to dam long for this companys to get these kits out because everyone is telling them what to do and how to change them your model builders fix it when you build it it's not a perfect science they look great just get them out and maybe if we leave them alone they will get more of the old kits out that everyone keeps dreaming about.!!! -

Hi you can use the AMT 62 Belair the only real deference is in the trim witch can be changed out easy the AMT has the bubble top if your Dad had the sadden roof you can go to MCW Dave Doge he does the Biscayne with sadden roof his resin kits are very good I have bin building his kits for over 12 years now and his kit uses the AMT Belair as the doner kit. Good luck post pictures.. -
