Fantom

For what’s it worth, I have always communicated with him through private messages in Facebook. He has always responded quickly to that.

All my experience with StS , I had to provide payment before work progressed, I have had several sheets printed that way without incident.

Decals for the car, custom made by STS

So I have been working on this for quite awhile and I still have tons to do , but I thought I’d share where it’s at now. The plan is a gasser style, not necessarily period correct but more of a tribute. The rear suspension has had the leaf springs moved in with spring sliders,rear axle is a Ford 9 inch. Front end is straight axle on leafs. Engine is an injected 409 from Texas 3D. I had a friend print me some tuck and roll seats, I made new door panels with half round, and made an insert for the trunk to match. Paint is Tamiya Mica Red, and I used a sheet of Lace decal for the roof that STS decals made for me and fogged it in. Like I said, lots more to do.

There are a few guys printing some very nice stuff on Facebook in large scale. Check out the group large scale modelers

STS decals had engine turned decal sheets in gold and silver. I used them on this dashboard.

Seeing reports he has passed. Very sad news. Another icon lost.

I sprayed Alclad chrome over a gloss white base on this engine, looks like polished aluminum to me.

Facebook group “large scale modelers” Jo Scmocan prints many different frames for T’s , and 32’s in all scales . He does nice work.

I have bought a lot of stuff from that guy, his stuff fits well and just take your time and trim the parts out carefully.

I have bought several things from Jo, the guy printing this body. I’d almost bet he’d print the tank if asked.

Check out the facebook group large scale modelers…the owner prints and sells many parts for drag bikes including tires and rims

Check out the group 1/8 scale detail on Facebook…Jamison Swimm makes a ton of upgrades for this kit…rims, derail parts, complete engines, even a trans kit to back date the car…I used many of his parts on my build
