Box Art Puzzles from Round2

A friend of mine did a few years ago. He used white glue and news paper on the back. Now they sell a glue for the back of puzzles. -

Box Art Puzzles from Round2
1930fordpickup replied to Casey's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Yes. Been a long time doing a puzzle for me until this fall when I picked up a few for a friend of mine that is home bound. One of his favorite movies is Jaws. They had a few Puzzles at Ollies that were movie posters. Yes Jaws was one of them so I grabbed him one. Great poster but a vey hard puzzle for our old eyes. It came out great and so will all of these Model car Puzzles. Too many Chevy's for my taste, Why no Buick Riv or and Olds? -
What is this cleanup thing you talk about? LOL I like this idea.

time to get rid of stuff
1930fordpickup replied to randyc's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Lets just leave this to the original post for now to Help Randy. Before it gets locked. The selling has already been discussed here more than once. Just do it in a PM. Just as Erik just said we had enough of the drama with a few people in the trades already. I was burned by one that is enough. -

Looks great. The under the hood detail makes my day. -

As far as sealed Hot Wheels toys for tots. if it gets down to this. As far as the parts boxes maybe look in the wanted section. Good luck Randy a lot of us may be in this same boat sooner than later. -
Great Idea Tom. This came out nice. If you get ahold of a front clip that would look good on the trailer also. Maybe a different color or white like a new fiberglass unit.

This is so cool. Looks great. -
If they are after making money in the long run they will keep investing in the different kits that we have not seen in a awhile. I believe that is what these people want, to make money. This should be a better marriage than the last failed attempt was. On the bright side if it is not our stash of 5 dollar kits will double in value.

Another great one leaves us here. RIP.

The issues with scratch building
1930fordpickup replied to IbuildScaleModels's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Ren-Board-Renshape-450-Assortment-Flat-Rate-Box-16/203164540079?hash=item2f4d8cdcaf:g:wzYAAOSwa39foDBI this is what we used when we purchased renshape. It is a good quality and not the soft stuff. I don't care for the softer modeling board. I like the 450 this guy is selling. Tom I am sending you a PM. -
The issues with scratch building
1930fordpickup replied to IbuildScaleModels's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
The cheaper the product the dustier and softer it is , with my experience using it. I don't like the cheaper version because it messes with me when We used it at work. This is the place we purchased the brand we used. (Not Ren-Shape brand name as the is the Freemans supply product I believe.) http://www.bp-ind.com/modeling---tooling-boards.html -
Home run king,Hank Aaron passes away
1930fordpickup replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
He was a great man. He may have had way more home runs had they not pitched around him like they did often. -
I think the biggest problem is not enough sorting locations. I know they were trying to copy the fedex way.

It's coming...
1930fordpickup replied to charlie8575's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Charlie I have no idea what the cost of the printed molds would be. But Machinist cost to clean them up will be a lot more than a few hundred dollars. Just as you said still cheaper than cutting steel molds for short run subjects. The bodies alone for use on existing chassis would be great Cabs for Semi's -

3D printing is still heading tin the right direction for sure. -

1930fordpickup replied to charlie8575's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Short runs of a 1000 makes this an interesting option for some subjects. I wonder what kind of tolerance they can hold. A station wagon mold of a 70's car or other low production models would be good for this. -
Maybe figure out the peg you would need to use and paint them with a color code. Then with a piece of paper give yourself a step by step plan before you start. That way when you have to go help your wife you will know where you are at. I would have to do this if I attempt it.
