Resin 69 Javelin SST
dimaxion replied to Sport Suburban's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Thank you Rauol . I did recieve the kit today . It is equal to some Hendrix models I have . There is some work to be done , not unsurmountable . The hood (fake) scoops are perfect . All the details are where they should be . I appreciate this model . It was a long time coming . Glass is no problem for me . I have a vacum (Mattel) former and a Javelin in my stash for a mould . Wheels/Tires and Taillight from Modelhaus . Now my friends I need some help . Someone out there casts an AMC V/8 Engine . It comes Stock parts and blower / modified pieces . He calls it the "AMC Mountain Motor" . i had it on my list of favorites . I lost this list . It might come with two Transmissions . A 4-spd. and Toquefilte . Does anyone know where to find this ? How about a Factory Stock '66 Satellite . Just to change the Subject ?? Thank you again Rauol . Thanx .. -
'59 Ford Wagon... R&R or JF?
dimaxion replied to Drago's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I like this blue scalloped version . Definatly not your ; "any car , any color ; $19.95 !" I perfer this over the wip . Thanx for sharing and your Patience Joker and to you all . -
This the way you choose to do this model . Just right and many were rodded in the day . Great build : Stick with it . The decal suggestion is a good tip for a better appearence . If you want ot remove the decals on any model , even clear coated ; cvover with one strip at a time with "Scotch Tape - clear" . Pulls the decals right off . Anyone have the right door '57 Mercury Pace Car Decal to trade off ? I have a need for one ?? If you did clear coat it I have that answer too . Cover spot (touchup) with Future Floor Polish .

'59 Ford Wagon... R&R or JF?
dimaxion replied to Drago's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
Joker and other readers ; I think it may have to do with my Altzhimers . I've seemed to have lost my sense of Immagination/humor . I did enjoy your response Joker . Lol , I do appreciate the answer you gave . I am a Factory Stock builder . Serious to detail to the retentive extreem . Yes , Im do need to lighten up . Thanx .. -
'59 Ford Wagon... R&R or JF?
dimaxion replied to Drago's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
May I note please . The '59 Fords did not have rear hinged back doors . The door handles side by side on this model appear as rear hinged doors . The back doors would open from the front . The handle for this setup is "suicide" . For obvious reasons . Lincoln Continentals from '61 - '69 had these doors . Did JF mold this as such ? Thanx .. -

Lol ..you sir are corerect ! Today there are more resin kits sold than Plastics . Thanx .. -
A black finish over a re-worked glue bomb . Great build . You did a super save on this SS for sure . Thanx ..

Nice collection and welcome here . I enjoy seeing your builds . Thanx for sharing ..

I like this wild bird . Contempory , absolutly corerect for in the day . The windscreen is just right as many of the other details . Customs had , along with Racing Cars had low glass for lower wind resistance . Fill the holes with chrome buttons . Or do dads if you prefer . Thanx ..

I just have to say once again ; "I dunno ?" Thanx ..

I understand your predicument . Lack of steady funds binds you up . There are many of us "old timers" still having these same issues . Any time you want to search for anything in Resin , may I suggest : . Once there scroll down to the bottom . Click Model Car Links . Atthe top portion is a resin search . Enter what you want to find . No luck here . Try to get a used part . Go to "looking for" section on this site . Post what you need . This site allows swapping only . Other Car Magazine Sites allow buying and selling ..Thanx ..

'41 Chevrolet Coupe
dimaxion replied to ChevyCoupe41's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I am confused . No Stock parts ? They lost me then .. Thanx.. -
Mee too . B u t ; if this means a product from a bygone era is saved from destruction and re-cycling . I am all over this . Think about the (Japan Inc.) cars made from this quality steel . The President of the Hot Rod Club in Auburn says it all : "This Auburn I rodded was scrap metal . Beyond any chance of restoration ." This says it all . It is a beauty .

Modelhaus Order Question
dimaxion replied to 71drolds's topic in Car Aftermarket / Resin / 3D Printed
I have known and delt with Don & Carol since the begainning . The dark days of model car parts and pieces were first cast . Pinholes were derigor . Modelhaus was one of the first to conquer this . They do fill orders in order of date recieved . There is no favoritism or missed/overlooked orders . When you use Plastic , a $1.00 cahrge is done to the account immediatly . The rest is charged when the order is ready to ship . If you think there might be a problem , EMail them . Great people , I consider them friends . The kind I would not borrow money from ..lol .. The kind I could strrike up a conversation with anytime I saw them .. Thanx .. -
GretaBuild . Nice job on the Foiling . You are supposed to enhance these vague lines with scribing tools . Try it , you'll like it ...Thanx ..

I have this kit and many other Porshe toughies . You did an amazing job on this build . Very Prototypical . i could almost smell the New Race Car Smell on this . The decals are nonstop . Great build . Thanx ..
-
A great build . I haven't seen many of these since the '80's . I built the Revelle Pontiac H Body version . Anyone want to trade for it ? PM me please . You do nice work . Thanx ..
