Smart-Resins

Wonderfull stuff! I love the drag stuff! Love to see more! Thanks. Jody

Anyone? I would love to make this year better then last since I work with more kids this year. Directly I have 10 to give to. Indirectly I have another 24 too. Jody

Looks very nice!! I have this same kit! I am going to build the "Tin Indian" out of mine. Looks like a nice kit! Jody

Knowing how good he is with his resin, I would have a question for you!! Are they at customs? Jody

Well, I have never tried the thread. The thought intimidates me too much! Like Everyone else has stated, you would really need three or four hands to do this process efficiently. Though, I can imaging doing it with two hands. First, you would need mint flavored thread. second, you would need a small model body like a model T, third you would need a large moutn! Place the body into the mouth and start to cut out the doros while flossing? HEHEHEHE. Jody

Alright guys, I did this last year and had some success. I asked for models for tots and got in a few snappers. Because we were not part of the community, I ebnded up with more models then kids. However this year, we are Sunday School teachers and cub scout leaders, so honestly I can put any and all to use! What I am looking for is sealed snap tight kits or open but like new that you want to donate. This year I will take photos of the recipients as well where I can and share. We have 2 months to go, so let me know what ya got. Thanks. Jody

That is looking nice so far! Jody

Thanks for the links etc. Jody

I am looking for early drag cars from the 60's and early 70's. If you have a collection of photos and do not mind sharing, please let me know. I want to collect anything and everything I can and archive them. as the years roll by, the old photos and reference material becomes harder and harder to find. So before everything is gone with those who lived it, I want to make a collection for people to view and share. Thanks. Jody

LOL. Thats one Im missing!! LOL. I need whatever I can finish to put onto the new shelves in my man cave when its done. Sorry. Jody

I would not have gone out to buy these, but I managed to pick up the 55, the willys, the Austin and the Semi in trades. They are fun to build. Now to finish off the collection when I can. Thanks. Jody

Thank you guys!! Jody

Since my arm is litterally about killing me, I cant seem to do any work, not even any real work on models. However, I can paint. So I did this one today to break the block. it is a Polar Lights Willy's Snap Dragin kit. Thanks. Jody

I have eyed several things that might could be used here. White gauze, or white medi tape, I have even wondered about dryer sheets? Need to make sure its not real fuzzy. But the real cloth wraps are that as far as I know, so would think would want to do about the same thing in scale. I also thought that the dryer sheets may be good for using as ait filter material and maybe even as chute pack covering? Jody

Great job! I am trying to pull parts and decals together for his first version of the 62 Belair. Jody

excellent job there. Nice car to model too! Great kit bash! Jody

Great stuff. Thanks for sharring. Jody

I am just very happy I finially got them and that we can finish this deal now so that I know there are absolutly no hard or ill feelings!! PM sent. Jody

Hello. I dont have the vega body in resin, no. I do have the astre front and rear sections, but never molded yet. I will be workin on a baldwin motion "super Vega" hood here soon. As for the back dating, if you are set on back dating the body, I believe I have a half written tutorial here somewheres, mostly pics of a 1/16 scale vega someone did that to. I could dig them up once I get a new fan for that PC and give them to you. I think most of it was fairly simple? Cant remember for sure.Sure does sound like a great project!! Jody

That is very nice looking so far!! Jody

I know we had figured the package lost in the mail and cut our losses. Well, that package after being mailed from you on August 12, finially arrived today, September 10th!! The package looks beat up and like it has been sent around the world. I have 3 different stamps on it and some misc writing. So it must had some adventure. Anywasy, all tires and blower are in good shape. Thank goodness you sent it bubble wrapped. I as said before had the cragars casted. Now Ill get moving forward and alclading them for you. If you can please contact me via PM so I can get your address again and also remember who you were. LOL. Thank you. Jody

that is soo cool! Jody

Thank you very much for the reply. I did not know Tamiya had a putty! LOL.I am wondering if any other types/ brands would work for filling. Being a wood worker, I know of a few fillers or quick wood or even epoxies that might work, and may be cheaper for the amount? I have a roll of maple veneer with some mohagany stain. I had taken a two seat boat with 4 banger inline motor and had converted it to a single seat spead boat and looking at putting in a Hemi V drive system. I had made veneer inserts for the wood panels on top, but again was lost to the paint scheme for the boat. You have really inspired me and I hope you do not take offense if I decide to do the entire boat in wood veneer now. Thank you very much!! Jody

So, what is your ebay username? Jody

Thank you very much! Jody
