I'm with you on that, give me a resin casting any day, I've had bad luck with printed bodies not holding their shape or developing cracks, that on top of the layer lines to deal with. 3D printing is ok for me on small parts but I won't buy anymore printed bodies.

I love that! You pretty much nailed the time period, what did you use on the wheels? The finish is about perfect for the Cragar super tricks from my memory.

That is way cool! How did you do the grill conversion, I wouldn't mind seeing a few more pictures. You did a great job. What is the color?

They look great to me, you're too hard on yourself, well I guess we all are because we know where our mistakes are! Nothing ever comes out perfect for me either, the important part is we are enjoying our hobby.

Looks very period correct. I'm pretty sure those up tops are being discontinued if they haven't been already. So any body that wants one should contact Ed Fluck at Drag city resin ASAP.

Slixx makes them, sorry if I stepped on the OP's toes, just trying to help.

Great job!

Don't worry about it, not that important just one of many ideas in my head to build a drag car out of. Thanks anyway though.

OK. Since I'm the one who posted looking for a link, here's the deal. I had a guy tell me just last week that a guy going by the name of RESINBLOB sells on Ebay, and used to make a body, that I'd be interested in, so in doing a search for RESINBLOB on Ebay I couldn't find him so I did a Google search and it lead me to this thread, I wasn't really concerned with how old the post was, just a shot in the dark to find that Ebay seller. I didn't even see any of these replies until George told me about it. So now that I started an argument lets just let it rest.

Would you have a link to his page? I tried an ebay search and can not find him. Thanks

Very nice job. Where in Thailand are you? I am in Chiang Mai and find it hard to find model stuff locally, it doesn't seem to be a popular hobby here. I know of one hobby shop that I buy paint and glue and tape, etc. but no kits that interest me. Good thing I shipped my stash over.

OK, thanks, I remember the technique in full size car painting with a siphon spray gun, but wasn't sure if it would work with an airbrush. I'll have to give it a try.

Beautiful job! If I might ask, how did you do the cob webbing in scale?

All I can say is "WOW" I sure learned a lot and got a lot of ideas from this thread. Thanks a bunch for the ideas and lessons.
