  1. Thanks Todd for the nice review! I have made the 1/16th tires from the old Aurora F/C kits but I don't know what else would be popular so haven't spent any real time on them. I'm not up on the big scale stuff but if there's enuff interest in drag radials, slicks, etc I would get into it. I'm making some 1/18th right now for some diecast guys in Canada.........BFG Radials,eh....
  2. Thanks for all the kind words guys! I am casting a couple Superpaks right now, so if anyone else needs them the time is right. Happy New Year to all!
  3. Well Frank.............you'll just have to make some I've made the ones in the last 2 photos but haven't had time to update my site with pix. Did your "supplies" arrive yet?
  4. Very Nice Davin! I can almost smell the burning paint.
  5. For the budget minded builder: Monogram was into non-plastic kits way back when:
  6. I'll post on here as this & the other cars become available. Don't know pricing yet but it won't be too high. Thanks for asking!
  7. Thanks for the kind words BK........I don't think the nose piece will vaporize this time!
  8. Lookin' good Wayne! Best of luck on your new venture!
  9. Hi Dave, It will be a couple-3 months before I take any big tire orders; if I'm ready sooner I'll post it here. Thanks!
  10. Hey Chuck..........it's in the 2nd photo at the beginning of this thread. I'm working on the engine & photoetch right now. It will probably be the first to see the light of day.
  11. Yeah.........why not?? Here's a shot from a few years back behind the wheel of one of my all-time favorites: And more recently at my other favorite past time:
  12. Hi Erik, I need to do a bit more research on the Facel Vega to see what the chassis looks like. All kits will have the option of seperate panels; ie hood, trunk lid, doors so they can be built with whatever detail level you want.
  13. Right you are Art! I was thinking of the 12 pipes on each side instead of the actual number of cylinders.
  14. Hi Art, Both the Mormon Meteor I & III will be 1/24th to use with the Monogram kit. And I will make the engine parts for MM I & attempt to make the complete V-24 Curtis for the MM III.
  15. Yes, it will be an HK500 including the interior.
  16. Thanks Bill.........I'll let you know when they are ready. I'm looking forward to the BAT car too.....I think they are really cool! After the Borgward I have a Facel Vega & a 1940 Sharknose Graham coming out. Here's the BAT 7 & the Mormon Meteor I:
  17. The Grand Am/GTO will be ready in December. I need to get the interior finished up. You'll need to supply a chassis & drivetrain from a GM A-body kit; ie Cutlass, Chevelle, Monte Carlo. When I figure out which one is best I'll include the info with the kit. Thanks for asking!
  18. Thanks Frank. As you know, it's fast & accurate. It still requires a lot of work smoothing out the ridges but I like it. Now I need to get a bunch of photoetch made to go with them.
  19. Here's a few reasons I need to hold off on tires for a while: '73 Grand Am/GTO, Amphicar, Mormon Meteor III & a few others which can be seen at my fotki site.
  20. Thanks for the kind words guys; I try to make everything as best I can. I will still take drag radial orders only. If anyone is interested I'll start a new post to show where my new supply of spare time is going.......
  21. The smaller (275-60x15) , the bigger ones (325-50x15) All cast in soft rubber. Mike (Shucky) is right about not having any personal time when you get into casting. I reached that point quite a while ago but decided to push on as I hate to turn a fellow modeller away. However.....at this time I will take drag radial orders but not take any other new orders until I'm caught up & finish the masters for the cars I've been working on. I enjoy the challenges of mastering/casting but have run out of spare time & need to replenish my supply.
  22. Would any of these be close enuff?? http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/passenger-tires/radials/
