I have not seen this movie but did see a movie where a guy driving a tanker trailer was trying to kill a guy in a rattle trap car. I think it was one of the first screenplays written by an author that is now famous. In the end the tanker trailer runs over a cliff and blows up.

It's really nice but it looks black to me. Must be a really dark color.

That's AWESOME, I'm a fool for gold!

AWESOME JOB!

I have been a plumber for over 30 years, That's really cool. Nice detail on the valves. Looks like an equipment room on the ASU campus I work at.

A soft bristle toothbrush or get some of those miniature Q- tips. Try the makeup aisle at the local pharmacy. Tamiya makes some and they are proud of them. I use them for polishing and removing stray clay before making a mold.

Thanks, Guys. Marty brought those ambulance beacons to me to copy. After looking at them closely in my magnifier from removing them from the sprue I noticed the surface was actually pretty rough. I gave them a fine sanding to true them up and then a good polishing. these Jo-Han parts started shedding a red coat of transparent paint in the polishing procces, I thought that was a bit odd. but they turned out nice. Like most every other resin caster out there I am a one man operation. There are a hundred things around the house I am supposed to be doing besides playing with model cars. My wife complains that all I do is play. Recently she started playing some dumb computer game online that has to do with a garden that nothing even gets grown in. All I hear is this tinkling music playing and an occasional horse whinny and her talking to herself. I'm in my room making messes and cussing! I also still have a job to go to too. If you want something I make contact me. You might need to send me reminders about something you are wanting too.. I need to get better organized.

When I was a kid, I'm now 54, I used to spraypaint model bodies in the old smokehouse. I grew up on a farm. I typically always used testors paint. I never washed a body, I never primed a body. I would just shake the can really well and go out and set the body on another paint can and paint it. I would apply decals and then clear it too. I packed all my old original models around until about 2004 and ebayed them. Most still looked pretty good for just being hauled around in their original boxes over the years. If you managed to have bought one of my old builds from Ebay seller hairyhosebib that was me. I was never a big detailer but did a good job spray painting a body for a kid. It was not long after I sold them all that I found a model club. I regret selling them now. I was more interested in building models than doing homework. I ended up graduating second in my high school class..........from the bottom! LOL Now I'm a plumber.

All very nice but the interior is the best part.

They need a nice convertible version with a uptop.

WOW! Those do look really good. Congrats on your efforts.

Nice, but definitely too many moving parts for me!

Yes, the bottom tire is pretty rough as I beat the mold up trying to get the black uncured resin out of it. Your focus is supposed to be on the mold design. Did you even notice that my mold re creates that groove that is supposed to be in the tire? I had made some perfectly good tires from this mold before. I'm still on a learning curve for making tires. http://smcbofphx.pro...play&thread=661 Here is a link to a post on my forum from when the mold made perfectly good tires and I made the other wheel parts.

Here is a tire mold I made a few years back. These are the rear drag slicks from an original Tom Daniels Groovy Grader kit. You have to imagine that the part just left of the tires is the blue clay and the master tires are just barely setting on the little stands of clay. The mold part to the left of that is the silicone that is poured over the tires and clay. Once the silicone is cured. It is unboxed and flipped over and the clay is removed. there is no reason to remove the tires. A good coat of Price Driscoll mold release is sprayed over the exposed surface so the next pour of silicone will not stick to the other part. And then you pour the silicone in and cure. The tires are really hard to remove, but they are better than nothing. The bottom pic shows how wide these babies are! I think it is a 1:24 scale kit. Here is yet another tire mold I made. It is more recent. I think it is from a diecast. Notice that the inside opening is formed nicely. It is to be stretched over the two piece diecast wheels. One has some black resin residue stuck to it. I bought some resin that does the black tires from Aero Marine and it set around for sometime before I tried it. I pretty much ruined this mold from trying to remove the uncured resin from it. This type of mold goes through a lot of stretching to remove a tire from it. I made some from Task 8 resin just for showing you. I don't have the master tire anymore.

A guy I know keeps them and makes something he calls sprue glue but I'm not sure what the recipe is.

Hi Jonathon, I have your parts made. PM me.

What about the Henweighs?

Truly awesome work. Very cool!

If you mounted a couple of 1:32 scale ANAKIN Pod racer engines on that it would make a cool Funny car.....well, it's just an idea!

That is really cool. My favorite part is the exhaust looking like it has been ran.

Very nice looking Buick.

Having it painted does not make it too late to cast. The paint won't stick to the silicone and get pulled off the body. There is a chance the body will break upon removing it from the master mold where you have glued it together.

There is one on the Bay. Starting bid is 9 bucks. six days to go and 0 bids so far.

I am curious why the emodelcars.com failed?
