  16. Hello everyone this is my 3rd decal I have ever made and my first 1/16th scale decal and I want ot thank Chuck Boerner for helping me get started . It is Jim Nicoll's Superman decal for the 1/16th scale Vega . My decals are printed on a Alps printer
  17. Here are 2 pics of my 468 Vega . It runs 9.37 @ 161 mph all motor Chuck
  18. to comp1839: when the body arrived I was thrilled , but then I notice the finish and was displeased, then after a day I took the body in my hand and started to sand it and it smoothed out quite nicely. My expectations of the finish were to unreasonable , I did not take in consideration of how the body was made.After taking a moment to remember from my fab days of working on the real cars it came to me that I had invision something that could not be done . Now with all that being said and not pulling any punches toward the car or toward myself , I am very pleased with the car. It has nice lines and mocks up into a cool car, infact I have spoke with Tim about using a 1/25th scale MPC body and scanning it and printing it so I can make a master that I can cast someday of a Duster Pro Stock in 1/16th scale. You have to remember (which I forgot you are buying a prototype 1 off body) and you have to take into condsideration and know the process in which these bodies are made. The thing that pleased me the most was the uniformity of the thickness and overall detail. The finish I spoke of was me wining after a long day at work . I beleive in my heart this is the next generation on how small runs of models will be and should be made in large scale . The process is still fairly new and hopefully costs will come down soon . But overall I couldn't be happier with the car thanks Chuck
  19. here is the car I will be building you TRD's body, it is Mike Castellana's car
  20. no I have not tried it yet , this build will require it so I guess its time to do it , I have only had it sitting here for a year now LOL , and I also picked up the nickel plating kit also so I can nickel plate my brass Chuck
