Tamiya paint
Dave Van replied to suprafastcelica's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
99% Dupli-color and Tamiya. Just high quality paint. A synthetic lacquer it can be thinner but maintain color and shine. -
These builds are all from a box that has been packed away for more than 18 years. Most never photographed as I was holding on to my Pentax K-1000 35mm and hoping digital was a fad!!! So I figured they needed to come out of the dark!!thx This one was built as soon as the Monogram Buick kit came out and Fred Cady did the Foyt decals. I built this as a Foyt fan, Dad was head of Valvoline racing, I drove bus #51 and my SCCA car number was #51. Nose was modified to a semi accurate Olds from the Buick.....the rest box stock. Testors spray can red! Grille screen is cloth from the wife's sewing stash! thanks!

In looking for something else....I ran into a large box of my built models.......all built before I moved to WV in 2002. Decided they needed to see the light of day......don't think they have ever been shown. First up, as it was pretty clean and intact, a Tamiya Zakspeed Gr5 Ford Capri racer. Pretty much box stock with Testors Comp Orange spray (pre Tamiya) Aftermarket decals as I like the Jagermeister cars and kit decals were garbage. I'll post more as I go through them...Thanks for looking!!

It's the same kit that AMT has issued since the late 1960's. I like it....it's simple but much like the real cars were at the time..... My buddy's build....slightly altered..... -
Check Trainworld.com and look a G scale structures....a good many. I build mine scratch.....

They reissue the 69 Mercury, 76 Chevy Laguna S-3, 71 Mercury and 71 Allison Monte Carlo in the past 2 years....not sure what you mean??? And a birdie tells me of another one at least....... Yes...the old RM kits, some with 35 year old decals, sell in the $10 range. But Salvino's is going to retool and modify this tooling along with much improved decals for cars not kitted and printed by Cartagraph. (sp). I get their plan. We did the AMT & MPC kits at Model King and sold out fast. IMHO only! -
BIG STEP ON THAT WINDSHIELD!!

Small Resin Companies and Copyrights
Dave Van replied to jaxenro's topic in Truck Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Better to aks forgiveness than permission. Back when I was doing licensing deals in NASCAR and I went to a big beer company....that is what I was told. We could do the beer sponsored car.....but the beer company could not give us permission in case it went ugly. They could claim they didn't know....and issue a CaD order. -

Something strange.......About us has Elk Groove office which I understand is gone. Online catalog has a odd mix of old Revell USA and RoG kits. Rommel's Rod is not in catalog but can be back ordered?? Kinda a half backed update with lots of bad info....maybe they are working on it??? -
