  1. Going to be cool !
  2. It looks to me like the air hole and the pour hole are to close together. Shouldn't they be opposite corners ?
  3. This is cool ! To me this is a rat rod , just a very good one.
  4. Very good work all around . This guy is awesome.
  5. Looks fast !
  6. You are off to a good start . Just follow the above advise.
  7. Very nice sir .
  8. First the tractor pull part is pure Sarcasm. Second what they are up to is not about a green monster truck. Third when this thing goes viral with a video it will bring people calling to them for their product. Free advertising .
  9. Looks great !!!!
  10. Sure it is a gimmick but they can use it for R&D and for a sales pitch. Not for the Monster truck but it has other uses . I think it is just a test Mule for the battery company. Will they show up at a Tractor Pull next ! Oh the Horror !!!!! LOL
  11. Thank you for the info Pete . I like your line of thinking with your decision , Nothing better than being able to directly plug in.
  12. I sanded and painted rapid prototype parts in 1997 folks . Yes they were related to the job I have , not hobby related . Some were sample parts some were patterns for castings . It is not new just getting cheaper , the parts I purchased from TDR Innovations are much better than the parts from work . Just remember the parts from work were from over 11 years ago. I feel that niteowl7710 has a good feel for what is going to happen.
  13. Just an R&D thing to me . To show the military they can power something that is that heavy with battery's .
  14. I picked one up last year . It is very nice . No I have not started it yet. LOL
  15. How many big trucks have been produced from the 50's ? Just maybe they are going to do a 50 something Ford with a box that was used in the fifties . The box art is strange but it all has to start from someplace.
  16. I have worked with models made from rapid prototype before . This was in 1997 to 2000 before they started doing their own painting . This was a very rough finish back then for a model car. It was like wood grain. Two years ago I held in my hand at the Toledo NNL parts from a newer machine, vastly improved product. I think that Bill is hitting close to home with his comments . The only Question is if it cost 30 shipped for a bare shell what will it cost for the rest of the parts? I think that the after market will change but the kit company's will start using this tech here and just send you what you ask for themselves. I am sure they have been looking into this for sometime . The tool shop's around here have been into this for year's .
  17. I thought that I have seen this before. The box says 1/25 as I grumble ! LOL
  18. And I thought that the stands were from a die cast garage parts package . LOL
  19. Very nice work Sir !!
  20. It looks like that the C-600 is 1/25 scale ! This will lead to many different versions of this box truck. Farm trucks with a flat bed ,stake beds, grain trucks .
