    Aahh Charles, I had decided to let it slide with your comment about me being cranky and you being the altruistic supplier living to help other suppliers. But here you go again hogging someone else's post to sell your stuff. Don't get me wrong, I can clearly see that you make great products and you should start your own thread to discuss it instead of jumping in on a thread involving another supplier to sell your stuff. Not the first time you do this and it's disrespectful. Now you can say I'm cranky!

    Coming along beautifully Daniel. Exquisite detailing and realism.
  3. Pierre Rivard
    Well....thank you Charles but you are quoting only part of what I wrote and making judgement on it. In the end I was proposing 17mm as a good starting point for a 15 inch wheel... Anyhow we are working the details for wheel & tire with Jason who is developing these products.
  4. Pierre Rivard
    A real beauty Bruce. For all the things we hear about Heller kits this one looks to be of very good quality.
  5. Pierre Rivard
    That kind of detailing adds a lot of realism, especially with the open cockpit Barchetta. Very nice!
  6. Pierre Rivard
    Very very nice Rich. Beautiful color combo. Does this kit include a full chassis & powertrain as we usually see with MFH?
  7. Pierre Rivard
    Thank you Jason. I suggest 17 mm would best replicate a 15 inch wheel and the tires should match that. I have done a bit of research on tire dimensions that I will share shortly on private message. Curious to see how it compares to the tires you are working on.
  8. Pierre Rivard
    Send all the parts, it should look really good in my display cabinet!

    Oh this is gonna be good. Stay tuned folks, the Tasmanian Magician strikes again!

    Stuff I don't have the skills for. Wonderful to see an expert builder take on such a challenge.
  11. Pierre Rivard
    Merci Jason and no worries. I am not looking for free wheels but observing in sizes required to fit available tires. Thinking mostly about diameter sizing for the Borranis you are developing. I've put together a file and will feed it back through the group PM about Borranis.

    I just received my FIA Cobra wheels. They look very good but undersized at about 15.6 mm diameter. By comparison the HRM are 17.4 mm The few 15" kit wheels I have checked are in the 17.2 - 17.6 range, a bit over scale but that's what we have to deal with if using tires from these kits.

    She looks beautiful and sits just right. Well done sir!
  14. Pierre Rivard
    Beautiful build so far Jason. The paint job looks excellent and will be awesome with added polishing. Great color and will be awesome with blue interior.
  15. Pierre Rivard
    I did not think you could have done so good with the body looking at what it was at the start. You've put immense work into it and it really turned out great. Bravo!
  16. Pierre Rivard
    Yeah, quiet on the forum lately. I think many like me are taking a bit of a summer break. I just got back from a month long trip in Europe and just getting my toes in the water. Not building yet but thinking about what I want to build in the fall/winter time. Looking at your stuff I just decided to put the big Ford on the build list. Could be my last NASCAR build so for sure I will use the chassis from the 60 Starliner kit I have in the stash.

    Don't forget this great thread fellows. We need to keep it alive while our master Andy is living the dream in Ferrari wonderland. So far only 2 entries on the starting grid...patiently waiting for others to join.
  18. Pierre Rivard
    Looking good Steve...and fast!
  19. Pierre Rivard
    Yup, 3D printed wheels are nice but these...these look like they're made with something special...like metal? They look good, very very good!
  20. Pierre Rivard
    Coming along nicely Mark. I love these big old Fords and I still have this 64 in my stash that I want to do. I think I need a bit of a nudge from my brush painter co-conspirator to get it going. Your work on these old Nascar rides is such an inspiration.
  21. Pierre Rivard
    One word: PERFECT!
  22. Pierre Rivard
    Looks mighty good!
  23. Pierre Rivard
    Congratulations Ray. A beautiful and stunning replica of an iconic sports car. Fitting that cobra man chooses to end his career with this beauty. I knew little about Cobras just 2 years ago and learned a lot about them by following your work and associated insight into the cars you modeled. Thank you for getting me hooked on Cobras and best of luck with your new hobby. Please stay connected with this wonderful group.

    Wow, I did not think hot water alone could do that to a styrene body. Must have been boiling hot or this is softer than usual styrene. Oh well, glad you found another kit.
  25. Pierre Rivard
    Well done Jim. It's a tricky kit (re-boxed Fujimi) but you made it work. Brings back memories of when I built one of these (the 71 winner). Upper to lower body fit, glass fit, being short of hands to assemble the rear chassis links. Challenging but it makes a nice replica in the end.
