That's nice. I think Bondic is more suited to making thin trim as it's not brittle like resin.

yeah, it is the putty type. I don't know who was making MicroMark's resin products at the time. One part is a bit stiffer and the other is releasing some liquid but not like a pool .. just wet putty.

a I've always heard this and do believe it's founded on fact, but I have some I got from Micro Mark almost 20 years ago and I still use it successfully. It is light blue and a reddish color. The light blue part is a bit stiff but it all blends together fine and of one solid color. It cures in the same time (5 minutes) as it always has and is firm and solid. I use it for "press casting" small parts that only need the molding compound pressed over and around it. Just an FYI

That is one totally beautiful build!

whoa! many thanks, Leo!

someone took my popcorn!

yes .. oh sweet thing .. wonderful job on that!

absolutely beautiful!

I'm not exactly knowledgeable so I'm coming to the experts. This truck was driven by a friends father (around AZ) and I want to build her one for her N Scale Railroad. I don't expect to learn where I might find one but I won't refuse anyhelp.

Welcome to the forum. Michael. Those builds look like they just came off the road ... very nice! I spent two years in Neckarsulm many years ago and lately have been longing for some wine from the Neckar Valley as I remember it well. Most I can find here is just too sweet and not the "earthy' flavor as I recall it. That region must not expert like the others. Sorry for the memories but I do recall field trips in a tanker down the Autobahn to Stuttgart for some jet fuel, and trying to break the governor on the truck. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your builds.

They are moving to another host. It's noted on their Facebook page

yes, young man, welcome to the forum ... and building!

WoW! I had to look just to see what it looks like ..

pulls up a chair ...

I know how small N scale is .. wonderful job!

Black that deep and no polishing . man . .that is BEAUTIFUL!

Yeah, that's the way I like to do it and rotate the tire in my hands as I stroke to keep it even.

I got some Sig Glass Cloth from Sig Manufacturing Co. at Bill's recommendation. I got SIGGF003 Light Wt and it has worked out well for many splices and reinforced body areas. I may not be doing it exactly to his specifications but I typically apply a layer of epoxy over the joint then lay a piece of fiberglass over it. I'll press it into the epoxy with toothpicks or other object until it's buried. The one sheet I got will last me the rest of my life.

I believe he mentioned last time on he had a pretty busy plate. And, I don't believe anything can take the Modeler out of Peter ... probably just a matter of time.

That is major ... chassis painted in final color! ... I usually take a week off, myself, after such a milestone.

Just the painting Black is evil to me, but that does look evil .. and that black looks fantastic!

I was at the Pittsfield MA B&N and it has issue 199 there. edit: this was not available here before.

I used to take my Porsches to a Jaguar place that raced and did a lot of customer race car work. They always had old Jags and always an engine sitting all alone ... I would always stop to gaze over that amazing piece of art!
