  1. I know, I'm having the same problem with BSR3D, I was in contact with him about an order, after he replied, I placed the order within hrs. That was mid/late January, no product, no response to two emails. I mean, USCP (in Ukraine) posted the same day a message on Facebook and his website that the country was attacked in the morning, with his apologies and his hopes to get back at it as soon as he is able. Hopefully these individuals are ok and reply as soon as they can.
  2. Did you try contacting them through their website?
  3. Posted in contests and shows
  4. Thanks for the link... This is what I found doing some research awhile back
  5. I don't think they came with an engine in the kit. I need to find some instructions, I have to rebuild the hinge area.
  6. Yep, noticed that while I was working on it, had to laugh a bit. I'm sure it was probably a kid's build. I have a different wheel and tire package for it set aside.
  7. Going to work on this here and there. I like to work on a couple projects at once. Got everything disassembled,not too much breakage,but will need lots of sanding to remove old glue. Anyone have extra parts, LMK.
  8. Bought this Astro1 glue bomb awhile back and have been waiting to dive into it. LOTS of glue!!
  9. Had several areas where the paint reacted with something,not sure what. So back to the drawing board and into the purple pond.
  10. Let's hear how you all decide what to build next. Some kind of list? Newest kit out? Whatever peaks your interest? After building the three Flintstone Flyer cars, and looking at how much stuff I acquired,I decided to narrow down my stash and make a catagorical list to choose from. I want to concentrate my builds, instead of commission builds. My list goes like this... Resin Restoration Custom New or box stock Lemans or GT type car Molding/casting Restart old build I will always have two or three going, but I needed some organization to it. Let's here how you do it!
  11. Intake installed, grill finished.
  12. Thanks for the ideas and info!!
  13. I am not familiar with the do's and don'ts of promo cars. I have this Rambler ambulance with multiple tries apparently at gluing on the emergency light. Can this be sanded and polished? Other ideas? Would applying BMF hurt the value? Best source for tires, some are kinda chopped up. Thanks, Karl
  14. An update, these are in process parts I've been working on. I finally received the LS Intake from Clearly Scale, and fabricated an air duct and some coil pack covers. The grills pictured are of course stock, then the C1 version, and my replication. The C1 grill is short and looks like window screen. I'm using the custom grills from the AMT 64 Impala to make it like the 1:1. I plan to cut out the stock grill, and fill with my version
  15. I wondering if anyone has ordered from this person. I asked some questions prior to an order, and he mostly answered them. But now that I ordered,(1/25/22), I've heard nothing. Sent an email about a week ago. Thanks, Karl
  16. Also with using that miter box and the xacto saws, if you hold the material on 'your' side of the box, draw the saw towards you, if held on opposite side, push saw away from you. This forces the material against the wall of the box.
  17. Number 3 is officially done!!!! Thanks all for watching, commenting, and the compliments!!
  18. Almost!! I cleared the front clip last week and polished it tonight.
  19. I have experimented with several variations of finish. I started with flat black or black primer, gloss clear, then a satin or matte finish. They come out nice, but the semi gloss would be one step, not three. But I have one shot with the decals, so I want to do it right. So I welcome experience!
  20. I am planning on using MCW semi gloss black lacquer as a body finish. Will decals stick without clear coat? Thanks, Karl
  21. The wheel sets on the top are from Jays wheels , the others are(obviously) from Off The Sprue
  22. That sounds like a really good idea!
  23. The wheels did come out nice, but I guess I never posted a pic of them. I recasted them because of issues with the stud heads missing or braking easily. I finally discovered a way to replace the studs/bolts.
  24. Wheels and tires done! Playing with options for body paint.
