What resolution settings should be used for pics that will go on Photobucket?

I have casted parts and bodies. For resin I used Vagabonds 2 part resin. For the rubber I used the silicone rubber from GI Silicones. The $30 and $40 kits don't give enough to do bodies unless it's a Matchbox car size. To do a 1/25 scale body you need at least 32 ounces of rubber. As suggested by another poster about getting the large quantities; 10lb, 20lb, etc of rubber. He is right on. with practice you can cast anything. But you'll be spending money to do it.

I would like to suggest an 81' thru 87' Pontiac Grand Prix. The front and rear bumpers can be gotten off the Petty or Earnhart kits. The body just needs to be modified in the front fender areas.

What kits would have a late 80's 307 V8 or does someone have one that they don't need?

Definetly revolutionize the resin casting business. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggvzcGdZsTc

Looking to see if any resin casters do chrome front and rear bumpers to turn the Revell 87' Grand National Buick Regal into a regular Buick Regal?

RMR Resin will be producing a 77' Can AM. Same body style as the Grand AM. It's supposed to be released sometime in September.

I am working on the 87' Buick Regal model. I have acouple of color questions for the rear axle housing, shocks, front and rear suspension. Should the sway bars be black or natural metal? Also, the front steering linkage; black or natural metal? What color for shocks and rear axle housing. Thank you. George

I wanted to ask for some suggestions on what to use to seal alclad so that it still retains it shrome effect? I am turning a Buick Grand National black bumper to a chrome bumper. Thanks. George

Duplicolor started switching to the larger 8 ounce spray cans. Where can I find these smaller cans. I'm looking for a medium to light brown? Here is a pic of the cans I am referring to. Thanks. George

What are good methods to simulate valour type material on seats? Also, how to replicate vinyle? Thanks.

I forgot to add that I e-mailed RMR asking when the release would be and was told it would come out in a few months.

That's excellant news. Three weeks ago I also posted this news with the web address link. I've been trying to master a 73 Pontiac Grand AM for a few years , body is pretty much done.

There is really no transition from novice to intermediate or other different levels of modelling. What your doing in essence is adding things or trying new things. Maybe scratchbuilding more. Those are things that shows the different levels of modelling. It really has nothing to do with being novice, intermediate or advanced. Those are just subjective levels based on who you ask.

Was on this resin casters website and they list a 77' Pontiac Can AM coming soon. Anyone know how their resin products are? http://rmrresin.webs.com/nf116.htm

I found it. Excellant source of reference here and it's free. Everyone should bookmark this. http://www.oldcarbrochures.com/main.php

The website is an archive of automotive literature. The site does not sell the literature but allows you to open up any automotive literature and you can see all the details. It's perfect for us model builders. It is a great site, but I don't remember the web address. Thanks. George

1973-1977 Pontiac Lemans 1981-1987 pontiac Grand Prix.

Believe it or not the old MPC 68' Coronet was not modified into the 69. The model company does have the body. Some pieces are missing. Hopefully they will release that one someday.

Any new model previews?

Are the Zingers kits out?

Outstanding issue. Great articles; especially the one with the Ford LTD. Keep up the good work. This magazine gets better and better.

How do you like the service? How did you go about transferring your number from a major cell carrier to Tracfone?

What year Grand Prix kit?
