BIG-JIM

Sorry I'm kinda new here.

LOL Baby steps! I've sold 6 of the 1/8th scale so far & have dozens of people clambering for the 1/25th. I will do a little asking around and maybe there is an interest. Time will tell. I have half the mold poured & I'm going to do the second half today.

Your not the first to say that about it looking like a bike tank. That is fine tuned. My eyes are from fine tuning it. You gotta admit; it is better then the wheel posted earlier in this thread (That is no longer there). So that would be 2 for no???

It took me about a year (& $300) to find the dimensions & get the grille mastered. The whole car??? Don't think it gonna happen. Unless someone has a 37 I can have for the winter to get all the dimensions??? Oh! And unlimited resources would help too.

Okay guys I have the 1/25th masters in and I gave them a little primer & sanded them down. Being so small we lost the small grill bars but other then that they look good to me. What do you think? Should I start casting these? The different colors you see in the photo is where I sanded it down with micro grit. I will be posting these on several sites & hope to get the thumbs up from everyone to move forward.

Okay guy's I have the 1/8th scale version done (with the 1/25th on its way) & I was wondering what would people pay for such an item? I kinda have a price in my head but I just want to see if I'm in the same playing field. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Jim

Thanks Jeff. It looks like it's gonna happen. I have the masters on their way to me.

I got my new vacuum pump in today & I've been dialing it in. Lots of fun for the kids. We boiled "Cold" water with it. Inflated an empty tied off balloon to about 8" in dia. The final test was degassing "PUDDING" & yes we ate it afterwords....(Is that weird?)...LOL Now it's time to drown something in rubber. Also I am working on the 1/25th scale 37 Hudson grilles so it looks like it will happen. Stay tuned. Jim

TOO KOOL!

Stay tuned because I just ordered up a print in 1/25th so hopefully I will be casting them up soon.

Yes it is VERY possible to do a whole car. It can get very expensive. A body could cost upwards of $200 just to print. It would cost close to that to render it in 3D. I have over $200 just into the 1/8th scale grille so you can just imagine what a body would go for. Besides don't they make an Elenore?

Kool; I'd be happy to help out. Woodlites are some strange looking lights but hell whatever blows a persons skirt up...

Yuck That's not attractive at all. I am looking into a process called stereo-lithography. Let you know how it works out.

I have already mastered some headlights in 1/8th scale. The guide 682-C, 682-J, & E&J type 20 lights.

If you master it I can give it a shot casting it. If your interested.

Chuck, Did you ever get around to casting that farmall grille?

Well let's see this Farmall nose...

Thanks count for posting the poll. Hello all my name is Jim I'm from CT and I'm the guy that is (I think) going try to cast this part. The part was mastered in a 3D rendering and it was printed on a 3D printer. All I would have to do is scale the drawing down & have it printed. Then I can cast the parts for all of you fine builders. I'm just looking for feedback as to weather or not it will be worth it. I am truly not in this for the money but I can't loose money either. I just like to tinker & have fun.
