Vega Funny Car Spoiler Extension 1/25
Ron replied to bob b's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I made mine too. May not be totally accurate but it gets the job done...used clear sheets and drew it out and cut it with scissors. -
Gravity Colors...anybody bought from them lately?
Ron replied to BDSchindler's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Mate' is a great guy, very trustworthy and provides the BEST paint on the market in my humble opinion. I have had many behind the scenes conversations with him about paint colors ideas for the future as well as just overall customer service. HE is definitely a friendly in the model car world. I think your issue was isolated. Also regarding the crush bottles, he has recently switched to a far more durable bottle and I think the broken bottle thing is in the past..I never had the old bottles delivered cracked or damaged, but I did hear Mate tell me that it has happened to others.. I guess I was a lucky one. However I have received the new bottle lately and I think they fix that problem.. I have nothing but good to say about Mate Mayer and Gravity Paints, he is genuine. ~Ron -

Hey!!! Gimme Back My Avatar!
Ron replied to Harry P.'s topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
LOL>>>>>well atleast someone didnt steal a self created avatar of yourself playing guitar......that happened to me on a music forum and the guy had the nerve to tell everyone it was him....since I am known well enough there..it was quickly fixed. Kinda like someone showing you a picture of your wife...and saying it was theirs. LOL Ron -

Looks flawless...the engine details are very nice as always! You were able to get some stuff done the past couple of weeks....I could use some of that motivation myself. Ron

I started this one about a week ago...I have been wanting to build this car for several months and got to looking at Mark Jeffries build of this car and decided to start it. I started with the AMT Chevelle and used a AMT Nascar chassis...I built the cage using evergreen styrene tubing and sheets. More soon. Ron

My wife uses a Hoover vacuum..HTHs Ron -
I ususally just put in a good action adventure movie.....I never look at the tube, just listen to it. I use to listen to music....but I would then start "air-guitaring" with parts in my hand, and well you know! Its hard to assemble parts that are flying through space. LOL So I just listen to a movie.... Ron

Dave..you can pull anything off. Great job!! Ron
