  1. I found really a cool color the other day at Hobbytown USA. Anyone used these paints? What is the best primer to use with them?
  2. Success is measured in getting my money back!
  3. I can only speak for my dealings with Jeff over the last 15 weeks. It's not my place to judge him, because there is no one who is perfect. Jeff has answered all of my 9 emails to him. He emailed me yesterday to tell me he would be working on the Chevelle bodies this week and that it would be in the mail this weekend. I didn't have a good feeling about his response. So I sent him another email to and asked for him to be honest with me. I told him if he couldn't fulfill my order, to please give me a refund. I told him I would not have any hard feelings about it. I posted the above link to the Tennessee State Attorney General's Office (I don't know if that had any effect) I received an email today stating that I had received a refund for $31.50 to my Pay Pal account!! I'm happy that I didn't have to kiss my money goodbye as others suggested. For me, I will take a good hard look at how I decide who I will purchase resin from in the future. I'm going to check out who I am considering buying from before I purchase and I may limit myself to purchasing from casters at the shows. I will not bad mouth resin casters as many are doing this on a part-time basis and I know how hard it is to work two jobs! Just my opinion. i hope others will have the same success that I had this time around.
  4. Has anyone contacted the Tennessee State Attorney General's Office regarding Time Machine Resin's business practices? I think I will call them today. Here's a link: http://www.tn.gov/attorneygeneral/cpro/protectingconsumer.html If enough of us do that then maybe we can see something happen.
  5. Tom Hanks and Mel Torme used to build models. Got that from an old Revell fact sheet.
  6. Has anyone had any issues receiving items they have purchased from Jeff @ Time Machine Resin? I was told it would take 6-8 weeks to get the resin body I purchased and as of yesterday it has been 15 weeks. I sent him an email today. He has responded to all of my emails so far, but I am getting a little concerned. I payed the $31.00 I owed him immediately and I understand the process as I have purchased plenty of resin. Patience is starting to run low as I was burned once before by another resin caster.
  7. Okay, here are a few of my duallies.

  8. Here's my Revell '70 Chevy Chevelle SS454. Started using Bare Metal Foil on this and managed to find the patience over a couple nights to get the foil on the model. http://www.fotki.com'>Hosted on Fotki Bare Metal Foil is done! Now on to the interior! http://www.fotki.com'>Hosted on Fotki

  10. Which is the best Bare Metal Foil to use? I know this maybe a matter of preference. Improved Chrome or Ultra Bright Chrome? I have heard some say, that the Ultra is thicker and doesn't adhere as well. Any thoughts?
  11. Yeah, I agree with what everyone has said so far. I have a Red '93 Camaro promo and I highlighted the door lines and it looks so much better when it sits next the Red '93 Firdbird without highlighted door lines.
  12. Does it hurt the value of a promo, if you highlight the door lines? Say a Corvette Promo. Not a high dollar collectable. Would you pay more one over the other if you had a choice? In my opinion, some promos look better with a little definition added. Look better in the display case. Just a random thought. I was interested in the thought of others.
