I would think it is easier to deal with the styrene parts you have then for someone to mold something up. If someone did cast it they could bend some piano wire and insert it in the cavity before pouring the resin. It would hold up quite well that way. Good luck.

Clint Williams and myself are working on it. We will announce here when it is ready. Most pattern work is done. Soon!

I am impressed. Very cool and very well done, it is.

I also checked out your stuff. Extremely fun and imaginative. Finish Them and post them here! Thanks.

That is a very cool kit and model you are building. Jimmy Flintstone will have a 51 coupe de ville later this year. It is very similar but will have Dagmars on the front bumpers.

For a mill I would go with either the 4-cam Indy motor from the MPC Eagle or a SOHC motor from the AMT willys. Just me. 8)

I saw the post and while the tooling was impressive the subject matter was not inspiring to me so I didn't say anything. The clue is to see how many people looked at it. You posted it for viewing, right?

I bought the Willys Pickup and 28 Chevy AA/SR from him at NNL East and am delighted with the quality and the cool subjects.

Fabulous model! Judging can be weird alright. I have experienced the higher placing of inferior model when they were both mine!! Oh Well!! We all like it.

I prefer the Black album. :twisted:

Thanks but no, Don. :roll: I prefer the Perry's Cuda Conversion I already have and the Styrene Omni I also already have. I prefer doing my own mods. By the way, I have never seen the 70 with the 68-69 style scoop. Also not aware that Sox & Martin ever ran any car with slapper bars. Hey Al, My list was just the cars I plan on building but that was very cool seeing the Camaro. You can't keep a good driver away from the steering wheel. Thanks,

It was out of one of the 68-69 Road Runner/GTX kits. They are all the same. I bought so many of them for parts for this project I can't remember which specific kit it was. I wil be having one heck of an Ebay Mopar parts auction when I finish this project!

Are you attacking my attacking, Man!!!!! ( for anyone seeing this who is humor impaired -It is a joke!) Thank you all for taking the pledge. Gregg and Jairus are pleased.

I have an extra kit of that coupe. Who wants it? $10.00 plus postage.

I gotta build me one of those! I already have all the V-16 kits. Did you know that there are 6 different V-16 Cads in 1/25-24? Jo-hans 3 1931 cars,Monogram has a 32, and Italeri makes 2 different 33s. How did that happen. Usually the model companies copy each other. Great job on your build. I have been enjoying it.

No Problemo, Billy! Stocker Street rod. Stock version is identical except for having stock fenders. The street rod version has slight tubs on the inside. Thanks.

I have heard of that kit but never saw one in person. It is a commemorative for the Canadian Royal Mounted Police. You know, The mounties of Dudley Doright fame! Very cool. 8)

Gregg, Yes. Everything is done in the pressure tank. Mix and pour RTV and put in pressure tank until it cures. When the mold is done you pour in your resin and put same in said tank again. 30-40 psi works for me. If you got it in and pressurized in time you will have some really fine bubble-free castings.

NNL Saturday and swap meet Sunday. I have been boxing stuff all day and am ready. I can actually sleep tonight. Sweet!

Ahem! Marc and Jason! Please keep this one thread from straying. Thank you very much! :x

I like that underside detailing. That is a great example of how the aftermarket can enhance the hobby. I would love to see Model Car building raised up to the level of Armor and Aircarft model building. That is a perfect example of what the aftermarket should be offering the model car builder.

Off Topic, Jason! Sounds like an inside joke. How about the pledge? :?:

These are available and in stock. Conversion to make a 1920 T Center Door sedan using AMT fenders and hood. This is a stock version of the 1915 Coupelet. How about a 32 3-window Funnycar? At long last - The Firebird III. We are just finishing the instruction sheet for this one. Available in a week. Thanks for looking. You can go to our website or find them on Ebay.

These 3 kits were made by a small French company called Europe Models sometime in the 60s. They are 1/32 scale and were some of the strangest tooling I have seen. They are all Panhards and are 1891, 1895 Coupe, and a 1905 Roi Des Belge(King of Belgium). The 1891 had so many little parts because their moldmaker likely couldn't do anything very involved. They probably didn't even have a pantograph. The 1895 went the opposite direction. It had whole assemblies molded in one piece. The 1905 was the best. It was broken down in a very reasonable way. I did find pictures of all 3 cars in my "Wall o' Mags and Books" and ironically the 1891 was the most accurate and the 1905 the least accurate. Go figure. Building was easy on the 1895 and 1905. The 1891 had really terrible instructions. Good thing I had reference material. There was one part I recognised from the photos but the instructions showed it on the opposite end of the car! I figure the guy drawing the exploded views got sick of trying to figure out where everything went and just plopped it anywhere! I had the brass parts plated by Chrome-Tech and I then sprayed them with a 1/1 mix of Tamiya clear yellow and clear with a tiny bit of flattening agent thrown in. Paints are airbrushed Home Decor colors: a rare example of me using enamel for paint jobs. These were really fun to do and are amongst my favorites. Yes, It IS as tall as it is long!! Note the wooden brake pads rubbing on the rear of the solid rubber tires! State of the art for 1891. Note the full elliptic springs in front and semi-elliptic on the rear. These were the first front-engine rear drive cars ever made. Yah, I know they were among the first cars ever made, too! What's your point?

I hereby take a pledge to drop all commentary of any sort on the Reliable Resin Controversy. I am sick of it. I agree with Bob Paeth that this is a fun forum and it is the one I enjoy the most. And I will miss Zeb, too. :cry: I challenge all other participants in the recent controversy to take the pledge too. All sides have presented their cases. As Dr Evil said, "Zip it!" :twisted:
