    Decal sheet

    I have plans to get that kit soon, not sure if it will be the Revell or Atlantis version, for a project I'm doing and won't be using the decal sheet. If you haven't found one by then I'd be happy to send you the decal sheet. I'll let you know when I get the kit. Steve A.
  2. I'm looking to do up a decal sheet of a 60s drag racing car, and in my reference pics I found a decal that I haven't been able to identify yet. I found one that looks like it on one of the Slixx decal sheet, but all the pics of that sheet I found online are to blurry to make out, and don't really want to buy the sheet at $13.00 just to see what it is. Was hoping someone here might have an idea what it is. Attached is a pic of the Slixx sheet with the decal in question circled. Thanks for any help. Steve A.
  3. I haven't started it yet, but I bought the Beemax/Platz/NuNu Porsche kit and it is a really nicely detailed kit. I know of a few builds and review of the kit on Youtube, here is a link to one of them. Steve A.
  4. I would have thought that if anyone had made them, it would have been Keith Marks, but I didn't see it listed on his Fotki album. The only Formula decals I see for around that year is the black stripes along the bottom of the car. I don't know of anyone else doing factory stock type decals. You might try contacting Keith Marks and see if it is something he might be planning to do. Steve A.
  5. I sent you a PM a few days ago about maybe helping out with the decal problem. If I can help out, just let me know. Steve A.
  6. I want to thank everyone for their help with this. Most of the kits that were suggested, the wheels just weren't quite right for what I was looking for. I continued doing searches for 3D files that were available, and happened to find a wheel that was close. I may try contacting the seller and see if they might be able to modify their wheel to be closer to what I'm looking for. If they can't, I will probably just get the file and use it, or try to modify it myself. Anyways, thanks again for all the help offered. Steve A.
  7. When I was helping John Teresi with some 3D parts for a project he was working on, he needed a 4L60E transmission also, and I couldn't find anyone offering files or 3D parts for sale. VCG Resins does offer a 4L80E 3D part, but it looks different than the 4L60E. I ended up finding one 3D scan of the 4L60E, and was able to make up a printable file off of it. The hardest part was that it wasn't listed at a specific scale, so it took a little trial and error to get the scale figured out. If you want to send me a message, I can see about printed you out a couple to help you out. Steve A.
  8. Thanks, but those aren't quite what I'm looking for. Steve A.
  9. That turned out really nice. I've been learning about doing figures the last few years and know how hard it can be to make them look good. Steve A.
  10. Thanks for the info, I'll try doing a search for those kits and see what I can find. Right now I'm just gather kits and parts to do the build at some point. Steve A.
  11. I did several different searches for 3D files using using different words like "mesh" "Enkei" "spoked" and came up with several of the BBS and JDM styles, but all that I found were too flat and had much bigger areas of the mesh. Sometimes doing a search depends on what the person that designed the wheels ends up calling it. I've seen several wheels that just used the general name of "Vintage Wheel", so that's why I was asking. I was hoping maybe someone had seen a 3D file somewhere, or knew of a kit that might have it. Thanks for the help though. Steve A.
  12. That turned out really nice. That kit was a good kit, I just didn't like the tinted glass that came in it. Steve A.
  13. I don't have a 1/32nd scale Corvette kit, so I tried looking to see if there were any 3D files maybe of Corvettes with a seat that could be scaled down. I have the 3D files for the Corvette Summer kit, but the seat doesn't look as flat as that one you have. I've attached a screen grab of what it looks like. I did find another 3D file of a '68 Corvette that had a seat like that in the interior tub, but the seat pattern was a little different and it was about $11 to buy the files. If no one has a kit seat for you, maybe you can find a 3D seat that you like the looks of, and scale it down to 1/32nd. There are a lot of neat looking seats available on sites like Cults3D and CGTrader, some are even free to download. If you don't have anyone that can 3D print the seats for you, let me know if I can help you out. Steve A.
  14. Thanks, I'll check into that kit.
