Smart-Resins

Gregg I am a signed member.I have tried to sell and ask for wants, but the turn out is slim on the site.I for one think it is a great idea if some poeple would jump on the band wagon.After all, its not just another site for everything.It is indeed a sight completely for us aand theres no listing fees.I was on there last week and there was only 3 things listed.Its hard to look for any good kits for sale there if some of you guys dont go listing them.Why not list for a few days, then no reply, then jump onto another site to sell??Like Gregg said, it is FREE!!

Anyone??????

Slight update.Have two cogged drives for the primary drive and a cogged belt as well.Need to do a little more work on them then they will go into rubber.Has anyone scratched a springer front end before.Looking at how I can do this and keep it old skool while trying to actually make it functional if possibe.I have one designe, but it is for a newer style bike.

I def. want some of those seats. I am currently working on actual coged drives and a cogged belt.A ctually I have them, just need to order more rubber to cast for the new molds and die for the rubber belt.Once thats done, and I finish soldeing on the mounting brackets, my bike should come to life.I want that P ped though for the fender and also need to make me a sissy bar.Can anyone help me with how to scratch build a springer front end??I have some ideas, but havnt jumped forward on any yet.I know how to do a custom newer version, but want to keep my bike old skool.

I love the old skool bikes and this is most def. One dude!!far out.I have last years cat. from him and dont have none of this bike stuff.I will have to give him a call and request a updated cat.!!

Stingray that is quite a amazing frame considering the size.Wow!!

Thats looks really good Jairus!! Ismaelg That is looking good too.Now Im gonna want to try to find a soldering iron like that and give it a try.Would be much better for my uses I think

Wow, now I have a question for you oh master!!What is the technical name for that machine again.I like soldering with the torch, but would like more control.The recomemned temp for soldering with the silver solder is around 750 deg. That should do you just fine.Esp. since you have the "wick" to go with it ect.You should be in good shape with your set up I would assume.I know what you mean about painting the brass.Basiacally everyone I know who works in brass has to fight that battle at least once.Like with my one frame, I want to chrome it to make it better.Oh well.

I will admit that from the sounds of things what you have is great for lower temp soldering.How high of a temp does that machine go to??This is good for multiple joints.Use your heat sinks and make sure when using a solder, that it is best no matter what solder you use that it is a fluxless solder and that you use seperate solder.Heck, if you saw my bike frame, I got totaly fed up trying to use a torch and switched to a pen and plumbers solder.I had some clumps like on your roll cage, so thus why I stated that good joints and clean up is essential!!I think once you clean it up and paint you should be satisfied.It was on my surfn T frame I used a torch.I also doubled up on the tubes using two different sizes on that to make sure it was a sturdy frame.It passed the test of all three of my children.I then threw it onto the floor.(I held my heart for saftey reasons)Never once broke.

Alright, this may be a old subject, but I have scanned through much of this and have found very little on stuff for 1/16 scale does anyone know of anyone doing 1/16 scale resin parts??I am looking for various things including high performance engines and top fuel stuff.Thanks guys.

What scale is that??I take it you are a novice on brass.Not too bad for a try.I take it you are using a electric soldering system??Good for something with a lot of joints.If you are doing something with few joint, might want to consider a torch with a silver solder(better with brass) without flux in it and use a liquid flux.Will draw right into the seem.Heat sinks are essential here though!!When I first tried I beet myself up on the amount of solder though.Learned its not as much how it first comes out as it is after clean up!!You do need to make sure the solder is done right for a good solid joint that wont brake if dropped.But it is cleanup of the solder.Throw a wire brush in your dremel and go to town.Just be carful in where the broken of bristled go.Make sure you wear shoes in that room for a while as those bristles hurt like a son of a gun if you get one up under the skin in your foot!!!HAHAHA I would like to see more.I love brass!!!Once you do it, you will keep wanting to do it!!!!Keep up the good work.

I never knew they did a pro-street monte!!Ill have to look around for one sometime now.Thanks for the kit #

If you are looking for new parts, this one just listed on ebay today http://cgi.ebay.com/1-16-scale-GIANT-TRACK...tem130084691609

One of those with dual wheels would be PHAT!!

Wich kit is that??I havnt done small scalers in some time,but I could imagine a couple of ways to build that.

That is a total bummer.I enjoy the vendors more sometimes then the show itself.I enjoy the parts bins and baggie deals.Of course any good priced biggie kit too.What kinda stuff you sell anyways since Im new around here(this forum)

Well, sorry.I admit it.I was wrong.It is 1/16 scale!! Here, look at this http://cgi.ebay.com/REVELL-7441-SWAMP-MONS...tem190086324024

Any idea of time frame??

If I remember, that is 1/18th scale??Could be built up to a real nice truck.A buddy had one and shortened the frame and put a old chevy love body on it with a blown 427 in it as that was what you drove for real at comps.When he started that thing up(the real one) the whole valley knew it!!!

Here you go.Ill also email For vender table reservations contact Dave Bowers 931 432 1847 6 pm to 10pm CST Email mtmacookeville@yahoo.com. This is off of thier flyer so I dont know if this is his email address.

Very nice,very nice.Ireally like that first one.What color did you use on those rims in the first one??

Very nice.I am working on a 1/16street version.I find it rather amusing that they take a sports car and turn it into a dune jumper.LOL It is nice modeling and great weathering though!!

I live in these parts, but new here.I have a local modeling body that helps head up a local car club.I will try to contact him and get the info for you if he has it.What will you be taking??I heard it is a lot of militaria, and the judging for cars is nil, so wont be entering anything, but I do hope to ride out there.Maybe we can meet??

That is one cool ride!!Sooner or later I shall buy myselfone to build!!
