I bought a reissued MPC 80's Bronco and an AMT Ertl 93 Ford F150. They should be on my door step in less than a week. For good measure I may get the Revell version as well in case it has better parts. I'll post photos when I get started.

I'd be interested in casting it. Are these the photos of the masters that you created? Thanks, Robert

I have no idea where to find one of those. They probably only made a few batches (25-50 bodies). I'm planning to do one of these in resin in the future. If there seems to be a demand, I can try to do it sooner. Maybe during the first half of the year. I love these and the 91 generation Broncos.

I'm not the one in the post you saw, but I'll be offering the service. Do you have a body you want molded and cast? Or do you need a body made, then molded? My prices are very reasonable. Please e-mail me at robertburnsjr101@yahoo.com Thank you, Robert

Thank you for the advice, Steve. I'll probably do that. Also, do you have any bodies you want me to mold? Thanks, Robert

Thanks Gregg!

Nothing else car related, but I'll be offering more items later on. Thanks

Since I want to sell more of these items, the price has been reduced to $15. Thank you, Robert

Thanks ROS. It doesn't have to be a hatchback if you don't want it to be

The resin body: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Thank you, Robert

Hello all, I'd like to introduce my first resin car body. This is a custom car called "The Bellagio". It's based on the 1962 Chevy Bel Air. The resin body is a conversion for the AMT Ertl 62 Chevy kit. One must buy the 62 Chevy for the hood, bumpers, head and tail lights, plus the Revell C5 coupe for the glass and interior. Builder must kitbash or scratchbuild a chassis. These will be sold for a limited time for $25 each, plus $7 shipping within the U.S. Please e-mail me for international destinations. I take MOs and Pay Pal to this e-mail address: robertburnsjr101@yahoo.com Gregg, I'll be sending one yourway soon. Thank you, Robert The master body: Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki

Sorry to hear about the house fire. It was a cool model. Any plans to build another one?

Why not? There's room for everyone in our beloved hobby.

Oh, but you're correct my dear Watson. I have a month until my next assignment, so I'm taking the time to build as much as I can. Next week I'm going to try a building marathon. I'm going to see how long I can continuously build stuff!

http://public.fotki.com/robertburns/my_mod...021006_038.html After the destruction of the first Death Star, Darth Vader found himself alone and far from the closest Empire outpost. The sole survivor’s experimental TIE Fighter finally ran out of fuel near the habitable planet of Snrub. Vader drifted until gliding into the planet’s forest continent. After the distress beacon was launched, Vader decided to create a makeshift shelter. He knew the it would be at least a week before the Empire could locate him. Through the use of the force, Lord Vader constructed a house using the components from the TIE fighter. After the completion of the structure, Vader spent the week contemplating the recent defeat. After being rescued, Lord Vader commissioned the Empire Corps of Engineers to rebuild the shelter into a permanent structure. Vader has always loved his fighters. The Empire built him a new fighter, but he couldn’t let this one waste away or be recycled. Vader now uses the structure as a Summer Cabin from time to time. The Sith Lord uses it to get away from the pressures of the Empire. Torturing rebel scum can be quite taxing. The forest landscape provides a great getaway for fishing, yoga, and light sabre practice. I normally would never had bought the kit. I bided a dollar for a 1/48th scale Naboo fighter for a dollar on ebay. I needed the model to scale up to a 1/24th scale version. I won it after no one else bided on it. The seller also had a few other Star Wars kits with low starting bids, so I bid on a few to save on shipping. I ended up with a 3 more kits included AMT Ertl’s Darth Vader TIE Fighter. I just got it for greeblie parts. While playing with the solar panel wings, I got the idea of them being a roof or car port. Then the story started following. I then played around with the rest of the parts. It wasn’t long until the body top and bottom felt right at home (no pun intended) as the walls of the structure. The model was becoming more of a permanent structure rather than something cobbled together after a wreck. Part of the charm of the model is that it is so recognizable as a TIE. The window and solar panels are well known, even to people who are not serious fans of the original trilogy. Hope you like it.]
