Hello Again, I added some more pictures to my Album. please take a look & my apology to Thor I did not mean to Hijack this thread

Oh that is just so nice the wheels and tires are perfect

I bought the Big Duece back in the early 80's for a whopping $25.00 bucks

Here is one I have been working on I am doing it as a Fire Chiefs Car it is a little stalled right now but hopefully I can get it done someday. http://public.fotki.com/Gabriel12/henry-j/004.html Oh and by the way I am looking for some letter decals to make it from Tucson AZ and a gumball light. Just sayin

I kind of have a similar story, i bought mine as a glue bomb from another club member.and after stripping it found only the body to be useable. And then While at a Swap meet, A vendor was selling a new kit that had a broken body for $5.00 bucks. Cha Ching! & this is where I am at now. http://public.fotki.com/Gabriel12/gm-projects/002.html#media I hope you like it

I am lucky enough to have some of his cast resin products they are excellent in quality I just would like my economy to stabilize in a positive way so I could get some more Norms recent items are very nice and needed.

Its not as surprising as you might think Its just business and trying anything to make money

yeah Virgil if you don't build it makes a great Murder weapon .

Excellent work Dominik I hope your trailer choice is something like the a teardrop or maybe an Airstream

I like the color, and the engine choice is excellent to propel that little grocery getter. To the front of any line.

After talking with the badger reps. I sent my 200 in for repair for the seal that moved out of place internally.Badger repaired it at no cost and it is still working great. the service,turnaround time,and quality of repair were all excellent .

Remember Chris slow and steady wins the race.

Are the carburetors molded nicely in this kit or are there ejection pin marks on them ?

I have the Perry's version of this model kit still gathering parts for this build of a replica of my former 1-1 car

When you get the body reworked I would like to buy one or two

Could a Stock fairmont be built from this Body?

In this picture the Blue 77 monte looks like it was converted to a 73 is /was offered by any resin caster. if it was does anyone know who was the resin caster.

If you can remeber the sixties You were'nt there

I had problems like that with my 200badger it turned out to be an internal problem with my seal I sent it back to the factory they fixed it for no charge and sent back to me nice thing about this was the warranty had expired however they fixed didn't care they just took care of it for me.

It was great meeting you Rommel you California modelers have really inspired me personally to raise my bar and become a better modeler. That's me just behind you in the picture .I hope to be at next years Roadster show and like John Teresi I will be at able to load the tables LOL with my models .have a good year see you in the future Gabriel .

You might try to Agitate it some. Most cleaners do work better when there is a little bit of friction going on, try to stir it or shake up the jug its in, and keep it covered when in use the fumes help the process when contained. I use a plastic container about the size of a model car body, with a lid and just rock it side to side about once a day for a few days.

After sanding down the parting lines on the front tires of My Revell Russ Davis Thunderbolt. The very faint tread that was remaining, is almost gone. Is there a better replacement/ alternate tire for the Dunlop road speed tires in that kit? or is there a way to recreate the tread lines on a tire thats simple.

I have a few the first was a Badger #350 it was very simple in design and use. But kinda of a pain to find seals for. my second AB was also a Badger 200 NH Single action very nice in operating quality, with good consistant spray pattern and easy to clean and maintain. Next is also a Badger 200 detail works well for small stuff. also easy to clean Fourth is a Master brand Triggger style gun Dual action (Looks like the Grex model) comes with a variety of cups and extra needle/nozzle as well as extra spray tips the best one being a tip it has a MAC valve built in on the bottom. Work's well for automotive clear, and I have some done some very nice paint jobs with it. For under $70.00 bucks could this be the Holy Grail. Finally I have a MAC tools AB 480 it is also a trigger style gun similar to an IWATA HP revolution Dual action it has Ambedextrious color cup(it can be mounted on Either side) I just recently got this one. It is Ok I feel like I need to use it some more before I would recommend it.

Talk about the air brush you use, or have used in the past. Give somewhat of a review on how well it worked or did'nt work.
