I am just new to working with resin bodies,etc.and don't want to mess anything up when I get started on some projects in case there's a paint problem with them. Will be doing a partial resin conversion to make the first Mad Max black interceptor from the movie, and mid 60s Dodge van project, then there is 59 Ford 4door wagon body....love wagons....would like to find a few more.

Ok so now thanks to you guys I know not to use brake fluid on any resin stuff.....thanks! Any other ideas?

For plastics I have always used ether brake fluid or Super clean de-greaser straight with rubber gloves...just had no clue about resins?...cant afford to harm anything I had a resin dashboard mess up in these two before maybe I left it in too long or something? How long is too long to let resin soak to remove old paint? Thanks for the information guys! Mark

I was just curious if there is a way to strip paint off a resin body,etc. without harming the resin?

NICE trucks!

Hi Jamie...Welcome to the site.

Happy Thanksgiving to you Junior!....and everyone else here.

I never through them away....if anyone is going to do that just send them to me Ill find a use for them.

Hi Andy... Your supposed to enjoy and relax building models...just take your time working on them. The best advise I have ever heard is to treat every parts as if it were a model itself. The only one it has to please is you...if you get stuck or angry just take a break and think of do something else for a bit. You will get a different view of the problem and probably the answer to it too. The more experience you get the better your builds will be....just for the record I have never foiled a model before and I have been building for about 40 years.

Sweet!.....I like it!

Very cool build!

I am very sorry to hear about your dads situation....you will have our thoughts and prayers for him and his recovery. Best thing to do is keep him active doing things he seems to like. I was in a very bad car accident and even though I have always built models they are great therapy. Start him off on more simple kits and work your way up...there are many tools,etc. that could help him build I make some of the ones i use--painting stand from a wood block and metal coat hanger,etc. You just need to figure out what he has problems doing on his own and find the answer to them together. Plastic clamps,tooth picks,emery boards,long tweezers,etc. will help him build. Hope this helps some? Just don't give up...together you can figure out it all.

Looks good to me too...I wish I had the talent and know how to do that.

Hey Ed...that is the one I have needs the raised roof camper top parts--70s Chevy van(Mini Motor home--Open Road)camper van kit by AMT.

That is COOL!!!! I love wagons and campers....I like the color idea for it too.

The interior looks very cool 70s era....awesome work!

NICE!!!! I like it!

Bill... I couldn't go to it anyway... haven't been to a show/swapmeet since 1996 miss it too. Is money the green stuff you use to pay for things with??? LOL...

WOW!...really nice details and work!

WOW!...just beautiful!

I am hoping the KW cabover kits show up at our local hobby lobby so I can get me one of those...I built one as a kid.

I love campers....and this is going to be a cool build! Some model company needs to issue some camping trailer kits.

Didn't they make a dealer promo of the 55 4door wagon?

Beautiful work! I have two 69s of my dads trying to restore...one will be built like one he had and the other will be like one I had when done. Very nice work and paint!

Amazing detail work....very clean build!
