Bench racing the AMT surfer van
paul alflen replied to atomicholiday's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
look for the paint topic from Cab driver, he paints the flame colors underneath first, then masks the flames. Then the black(Topcoat) and then then he peels the mask off != instant flames. Pm him -
Heather, your dad was one of the most unselfish, pleasant, respectful and humble men on here. He shared his techniques unselfishly to others. He showed us step by step how he did something on a model. His examples gave us life lessons on how we should act, speak and talk to each other on a regular basis. He will be missed! May God Bless and comfort you at this time. There is a lot of Rodger's work on this forum. Read it all !!!! It will be very healing!!!!!

The power is out here in suburban Detroit, Mi again. This time they said it was 7 tornadoes from Friday am. How do you charge your EV then? Your go get gas with your gas car and then start your gas generator to charge up your Ev car? Simple answer!

Found a use for 3d print supports
paul alflen replied to stitchdup's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
Les, could we make some of those supports that are "scrap" into side exhaust, i.e. like on Corvettes from the 1970's? That way when they are snipped off the 3d print they can be a model part rather than 'scrap" -
Ollie's strike again
paul alflen replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Picked up 18 nova wagons, a case of 71 VWs at my Waterford/ Clarkston Ollies on Dixie hwy. The store was ready for some additional kits to restock - D-50 Coke truck, 40 ford Coke , all at 12.99. They also had the 1957 Chevy Nomad 1/24 by Monogram, (get this, the new price on those only was 16.95 )( no thank you) so look in your Mich stores boys, restock is on the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Guys in addition to the models and paint, check the labeled" Spring" signs in the decorating/ closeout section! Good man cave stuff like Batman, Star Wars and Automotive themed stuff at 66 percent off at my 3 local hobby lobbies!

Google photos from the Detroit Autorama about 2 or 3 years ago. A New Zealander built a replica like the real one. Can you size it off a picture? If not ask someone on here if they can measure their unbuilt kit for you!

Zippi, you are a fast learner. Beautiful build and beautiful car. The clear orange hood set it off! Period Drag Gasser for sure. This should be in the Magazine! Love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ollie's strike again
paul alflen replied to GLMFAA1's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I hate to say this, but these were not made for Ollies this time. It is an inventory dump of slow sellers to get them off the books of Round 2. The new fiscal year must have begun and the investment/management co (that owns 50% of stock) probably likes to cash out old slow selling models. How many guys here would have purchased any of these kits at full retail? see what I'm saying? -

ewetwo , you have a PM

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. I think the last issue of the 1959 retractable was molded in Poland(said it on the box?), by Revell and boxed in the states. That leaves the status of where the mold is to Revell of Germany, Carrera-Revell USA, or Atlantis? Paging Mark or Tim Boyd for an answer!

Morgan Automotive Detail?
paul alflen replied to Sidney Schwartz's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Sidney, Kris is a one-man operation not an amazon or Esty store. He doesn't have automated computer responses. He is old school. I think it would be best to contact a vender ahead of time to find out how long it is to ship and to see if it is in stock. Advance planning always helps. Patience is the key! If a guy makes Quality stuff, His stuff is always in demand! -
Thank you Can-Con for the telephone booth 3d info!

Odd Place to Find Models
paul alflen replied to Calb56's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
YES, instead of putting these out for the public to buy they have now started auctioning these on line in their goodwill store! Oh well ,more money for charity works or corporate greed? -
Steve Goldman, I am thinking a little forward here.(2 to 5 years ahead). Could the telephone booth for TTT be made to download in 3-d, as a file to purchase in the future? Round 2 is leaving money on the table. I know you have a full plate to carry now (That is good news!). But if you offered a file to purchase and download it for customers, the cost of an injection mold goes away, and the customers who Pass on the cardboard version will purchase the file. ( if they want a plastic / resin 3-d version) It must be affordable to the consumer to do this and also have Round 2 Make money on it too!
