  1. Nobody?????? Does anybody knows some e-mail to make contact directly with R&R Resin??? Who runs R&R Resin? Is he member of MCM Fórum? Tks.
  2. Hi people! I'm looking for Sniper model from R&R Resin. I already made contact with Steve (Star Models) but unhappily he doesn't have the model. I already tried e-bay, but with no success. So, if somebody have it (or knows who has) and desires to negotiate, I'm interested. Thanks!
  3. Hi guys.... I have two doubts about the car paintings schema: 1) How to paint a '50-'70 car underneath? I saw models that in middle of the tunel the color is gray and others painted with all same color. Which is the correct one? Which decade each technique is applied? Why (in the first option) is the gray color? 2) Somebody knows the name of the manufacturer and its codes of the red and blue colors of So-Cal Speed Shop? (I intend to make the 34 Ford Coupe that ran in the salt lakes) Thanks in advance (and sorry fot the possible grammatical mistakes )
  4. Tom, I don’t know anyone in USA that is casting these ones. The parts that you saw, probably were of a Brazilian friend of mine called Flávio. That´s the web site: http://www.minitunning.com/ I´m not sure, but I think he ships worldwide!
  5. Hi Marcel. The wheels came from an Italeri old truck kit. Try to seek some built kit as a donor at e-bay or perhaps with some friend!
  6. Model Car World has '62 Impala HT 2 door.... could be a good start for you project! http://ourworld-top.cs.com/mcwautofinishes.../resinlist.html
  7. Sorry to hear Ron Cash has passed away. That's exactly what I did... This project still need an interior (it will be from a ’64 Impala) and an engine (probably a LT5/ZR1 Corvette)
  8. Marco, let me ask you: was this kit that you used? Revell #2877 ...or this one? Revell #2038 Tks!
  9. Cruz, outstanding job! As an Impala True lover, i must say... this car is unique!!!! Congratulations! Let me ask you... where did you found these hubcaps? Which kit comes with it?
  10. 1st: Hi guys. Thank you all for the comments. Obrigado Ismael! 2nd: To be compared with Bill Geary is a honor. Tks Enzo and Marco Cruz, but I guess I still have a long way to get there! Bill, thanks for your time here! I appreciated a lot. The putty is from PPG: P242 Beige: I’m testing it. It was my first work with it. To be honest, this putty is nice, but it’s needed to apply very slowly, otherwise, a lot of air bubble will soak the area. Again, thanks a lot. I hope get back on this project very soon…Right now, I’m working on a “greatâ€AMT: General Lee -huf!- (and all corrections that must be done aswell). :evil:
  11. Hi Guys. Unfortunately, I have no time enough as I wish to describe all photos. I hope they are self explication. I’m a big fan of Foose’s projects. So, I decided to star this one: Butterscorched The kits used for this project: Cut & glue front sides: Front grafting (using a small piece of pen) Body work GMC hood conversion: Color test: Base layer and final layer Chassi work Firewall work Truck’s inside fenders work The real one: and...(sorry for the advertising) :oops: The material wasn't strong enough. So, I decided to copy and cast in resin. And for me, the coolest work so far: THE WHEELS! The correct model is the NITROUS II: A friend of mine made the exactly Foose’s Nitrous wheel model using CAD software. Then, a specialized company made it in 1:25 scale using prototyping process. Matter of fact, I asked him to design the NITROUS CHROME, because in this case, I’ll get two different wheels with only a few fulfill job in that holes. So, that is the model that was designed: Here, the process: Of course, still need sand & refine work on this, but isn’t cool or what???? I hope you guys like it… this project is running at baby steps. But, I promise update as soon as possible. Please, please, suggestions and comments are very welcome!!!
  12. Outstanding!!!! Amazing!!! I loved it!
  13. Congratullations man!!! Very nice work! Great model!
  14. Any website too? (international orders are wellcome :wink: )
  15. Hi guys! I’m about to start a very nice project: a 1993 Cadillac Fleetwood. But first, I must ask for help… Is it Chevy Caprice (Yellow Cab/Chief Department) the most appropriated kit for this project? And if yes, which is the most important things to pay attention? What are the modifications that I’ll have to do? Thanks in advance!
  16. Man.... what nice clean PIMP Impala!!!! Outstandind work! Nice job! I loved it!
  17. Man, what outstanding work!!! Nice engine and paint work as well! :shock:
  18. Very nice project. Looking foward to see this progress. I'm a huge lover of lowriders!
  19. WOW Andy :shock: Very nice overview!!! Andy and James Thanks a lot! You are the men! I'll do that!
  20. I was thinking about how many segments/subjects involving cars and its lifestyles around exist (hot, customs, lowriders, etc). These I know the history. However, when the subject is competition, one of them I have a big doubt is the Drag competition. Somebody please could explain me the basics and differences between: ProStreet; ProModified; Modified FunnyCar; Gasser (This is the one that I have more unfamiliarity) and any others…. Plus: which period each one was born? Could you pelase indicate some websites for research? Thanks in advance people!
  21. Man, i have no words to describe my feelings!!! Outstanding work. Beautiful!!! Amazing!!! I love lowriders (real ones and models as well) and your building is a great piece of art. Congratulations!
  22. Thanks guys!!! Thanks 455Rocket. I’ll check this store… Zebm1, I already have this AMT Charger, but its body is wrong… The C pillar isn’t correct. I made these modifications in my kit… Of course, to change the ’69 Charger into a ’68, the right kit would be the ’69 Charger from ProModeller... or make the corrections as i did... :wink:
  23. I’m looking for two specifics models: 1) Nowadays Ford pickup F-250 (single cab, ext, duallie, whatever…) 2) Dodge Charger 68 Transkit Does anybody know if there is anyone who cast these models?
  24. Very very nice hot rod!!!! Maybe, some wash work would be nice!
