  1. Well I just ordered some Kitchen Table Resins parts for the Monogram 50 Ford Pick up. I got the 51/2 Conversion and the correct inline flat six..I am having a debate with myself on how to build it...I am thinking right now of two schools of thought.....One is a stock truck with the new parts and engine. The other is a lowered on updated suspension with the old motor powering a non-stock truck. Maybe like a Retro-Rod type build... Looking for some suggestion, wadda ya think guys??? How do I proceed...
  2. How do I get a set of those decals??????
  3. Ismael, With all due respect, you? Quick? Come on now....LOL....By the way I loved the Vette article in MCM.....
  4. I used a bench from a 70 Impala, not perfect, but close enough for a Swiss Naval Project.....
  5. Paul, Awesome work, how'd you rust that headder??? Thanks
  6. Been done a long time, I think it was an annual kit......
  7. Anyone use any of these on a kit body??? I have a copper color that I want to use on an RX-7 but the kit wasnt cheap and I don't want to ruin it. I have used Pactra Lexan paints on plastic with no issue in the past. Just wondering if anyone has tried it before.... Thanks,
  8. I will check when I get home, but IIRC, I use the OOMOO30 and it catches all the details I needed. I cast some BBC VC with some script on them, and no issues there. It is think when you mix it, but let it settle and flow, you will be surprised of the detail it catches....
  9. Jim, Thanks for the pics any idea of colors on this bad boy??? Looks like a brown pearl to me, I was alomst thinking some old Testors Sable Brown Pearl???
  10. How do we get one of those bodies??? Someone casting it????
  11. I just picked up decals from Whoopie Kat for the ALABAMIAN Corvette F/C and wanted to know if anyone had a pics of this car or any paint color infomation they could share.... Thanks in advance,
  12. Guess I will be the test case... Thanks Marc....
  13. Anyone have any luck doing this?? I want to clear the 65 Dodge Convert I got and like the finish the Tamiya gives but want to know if anyone has tried this and how it worked out for them. I am also working on a PL GTO and want to put some Tamiya color over the pearl white prepainted base. Thanks in advance for any help....
  14. Man, I Love that truck!!! Awesome....
  15. Tom....I love the color combo....Are you going to clear it or leave it in suede??? I am kinda big on the "satin" finishes right now. Have a 32 that will be "satin" and planning a 53 Ford Conv in the works that will be satin white pearl.....
  16. I have had this car for quite some time, using some old building methods. Even the clear has begun to yellow, but as long as it isn't next to another white car, we're ok....LOL... Gotta take some pic with the new camera
  17. Rob, Will this body be cast???
  18. I have two, in the stash...Plans are for a Black one and a Red one....
  19. Steve, I love it....I will be working on mine this week hope to get it done in a week....HA HA HA.....
  20. Nice work....That needs a trip into some rubber.....
  21. Replicas and Minatures of Maryland
  22. Good luck with you new venture.... And guys if you are thinking about getting some of Jakes parts, stop waiting, I got a set of wheels from him, and I gotta say they may be the nicest resin wheels, I have ever received....BAR NONE..... So guys, go get some...... Thanks again Jake and best of luck!!!!
  23. Man, all these killer wheels are killing me....I can only get some Pegasus wheels locally.....I have ordered some from HLJ and Ebay, but by the time I get them, I forget what I wanted them for.....LOL.....
  24. Ken, Here is my take on this one, I have begun to change my build style a little bit....I used to try to make everything perfect, and that caused a lot of "half-fast" builds if you get my mesning, but I have come to realize that at that rate I wont finish anything. I have eased up on myself a bit and have gotten more builds finfished this year than in quite some time. I am finishing number 6 now. With things like tamiya and testors laquer paints, it makes a very acceptable paint job much easier. I have also come to the truth that I will NEVER, EVER finish all of the kits, bodies etc that I have and have begun to liquidate a bit to help ease the load, plus it fees the cash to buy other things that will be used. I know I may get some heat for this but, that is the way it is... So how deos eevryone else feel about this??? Thanks for spaking the mind Ken....
