A number I'd not mind buying.....but when I talked to DDA they said they will not sell outside AUS.........Almost like they were not permitted to......any inside on this??? The $47 plus shipping to USA will make them out of rnge for me.

WELCOME! I am not to far near Snow shoe........nice to see more model car guys from WV. There is a model show 3/18 in Charleston FYI........

Was there a hint in issue #218? I have been asking for a long time for a kit Atlantis should have tooling for.

My resin quality was on Modelhaus level. My Nissan IMSA GTO full kit was $75. I did what established coatomers wanted.....I had two master ready to cast but can only do one at a time. They voted on the Nissan over a Roush IMSA Cougar kit. I kinda thought the Nissan would sell better too. But model car guys can be rather thrifty. I manufactured the kit......then crickets. I got $75 is kinda high........I took 4 years to sell through my run and by that time I had lost interest in manufacturing resin kits. Had plans for a bunch......but gave up on all of them. Bottom line is quality alone will not sell resin or 3D. And as for resin the ROI is slim and return is slow. I know I will not return to making production runs in resin. Thanks IMSA Cougar master I went ahead and built....

Thanks for the info......just figured out I have a show on that date already!!!!! Free place to stay with daughter so doin that one! thx

60 F-100 is a block buster of the lest...................

I liked the 'As raced' look. Well done!!

Any vendor info?? Tables left....contact info??

Very well done.

I was able to strip the 'gold' color from old Monogram Paddy Wagon chrome with 92% alcohol.....maybe it will work here.....

Thanks for doing that!!! Looks like a LOT of nice work. Conrats to you and daughter on wins. I wanted to go but I have a big show we will be features at coming on the 23 so just to busy. Thanks

I had a partial in 2019. Every situation is different. A 2nd opinion is a very good idea. Left alone mine would have killed me in the end. BUT it is a major operation. Major as in recovery time and changes you go through. Not going to give details here, not the place, but I got sick in May and it took 9 months before I was 'normal' again. Still today some side effects. But I am still here and enjoying life. Good luck, hope whatever you do works for you.

Wasn't there two Mustang II and a Pinto??? I used the Fire Fighter to do this one..................... Then add a few parts and decals...............

In 1989 I started a Roush IMSA Cougar race car. In 1/12 scale I had zero parts I could use as made. I bit off more than I should have.......been in a box since 1990 after I failed making a body for it..........doubt my skills will every catch up to the level needed.......

Nice neat work!!! Twice as much on the bodies!!! Who's decals??

Thanks Rich........Who made it is nice to know.....but I am happy someone DID make a DN3 and I was able to stumble upon it!!! THANKS!

As a retired resin caster.........it is a TOUGH biz!!! The real world ROI is pretty bad. I bought my first 3D printed FULL kit. I bought it from a company that, in the past, had made resin kits. Having one of their resin kits and one of their 3D kits I admit I like the resin kit better. The 3D kit has some GREAT features but will require more work as far as prep work. The time, cost and effort to make GOOD resin is getting to high to make it 'fun' AND profitable. I think it's that simple. One of my resin kits.......

The casting was a little crude for Jorgenson work too. No matter I am very happy to have it. Thanks all!!

My build thread now has a bad date in heading forever??? Wish I had know. Thanks for the info.

Interior is in minus head (which if you know the Tom Pryce story is in poor taste, sorry) Engine and rear suspension installed. Now I need to decide weather to decal or add front suspension. Front is pretty fragile so I may need to decal the body next. Scoop and rear wing need one more coat of black.....they will be last to instill. Thanks for looking!!

Clean work!!!!

Really cool model.....well done!!! I'd like to find something like it

My grandmother lived for 2 years with it. She was living with Dad which was VERY hard for him. Before the end he had to have all doors and windows locked at night or she'd go for a walk. It might be the most horrible disease we deal with LONG TERM today. My brother in law also just passed from Dementia but between being 500 miles away and my sister in law being in good health she shielded us from most of it. I am really sorry I have no decent advice or coping skills around it. All I can say is I'll pray that you stay strong during this very difficult time.

If you watch any of the Youtube 'train watching' videos, most of them run the railroads radio traffic and you can hear the robot voice announce the number of axles it detected and weather any were HOT. The crew knows how many axles they are pulling and all this must match to each Hot Box announcement. It's pretty automated and fool proof. When the final NTSB report comes out I'd not want to be that crew.
