Welcome to our plastic playground William.

When I rebuild and detail promos of 50's cars the promos (and Modelhaus resin kits) usually never come with pedals, so I always make my own using either trimmed sheet plastic glued to plastic rod, or, PE pedals glued to plastic rod. I'll drill a hole in the floor or firewall area to insert the other end of the plastic rod.

Ditto... I ordered their battery assortment and am very happy with them.

car master cylenders
Ramfins59 replied to Madd Trucker's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
Norm Veber (Replicas & Miniatures Co of MD) makes a package of about 10 different resin master cylinders. (Single bowl, dual bowl and a couple of boosters) Very reasonable (cheap) price. -
How did you get started in model building?
Ramfins59 replied to slusher's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I started back around 1958 or '59 when I was 11 or 12 and lived in the Bronx, NY. A guy who lived in our apartment bldg. had a customized '58 Impala that he parked at the curb in front of the house almost every day. The car was black, had a tube grille, 4 bar spinner hubcaps, was nosed & decked, full length lake pipes and cruiser skirts, a full width continental kit and six '59 Caddy bullet taillights. It had dummy spotlights, twin mirrors and twin swept back antenna's. I drooled over that car every time I saw it and when I found the AMT '58 Impala kit I just had to build it just like that car. Off I went into this great hobby. I stopped when I discovered girls and bars and got married, but picked up the hobby again in 1992. I've since built another, better version of that '58 Impala using the Revell kit a couple of years ago with a lot better skills. -
Yeah, I'm hoping to at least get a response from them. I know that they've been swamped with orders since they announced that they would be retiring. I know I should have checked the kit as soon as I received it but I just did not expect to have any problems with missing parts. Fortunately I placed my "final" order for 4 kits with them back in May before they shut down their website. I know I won't be getting the stuff until closer to the end of this year, but I'll be sure to check everything out once it all arrives. Hopefully they will all be good and complete.

Back at the end of last year I ordered a 1950 Cadillac curbside kit from Modelhaus. I received it sometime back around the end of March and added it to my TO DO pile. I only started working on it a couple of weeks ago, but never fully checked and/or "inventoried" the kit. Today I was doing the final assembly after finishing the BMF work yesterday. I installed the trimmed glass, scratchbuilt and attached interior visors and a resin interior rear view mirror. The headlights, taillights rear quarter chrome side trim pieces and the grille were also attached. I wanted to attach the front and rear bumpers before installing the interior and then mounting it all to the chassis. Out of the box I found not one, but TWO rear bumpers...... BUT NO FRONT BUMPER...!!!!!! W T F ......?!?!?!? I sent an email to Modelhaus advising them of this "problem" but I'm really not too sure that they'll do anything for me at this point based on what they say on their closed website statement. This is the very first time I've ever had any issues with Modelhaus kits and I've gotten about a dozen of them over the past years. Maybe I'll get lucky and they will make and send me a front bumper....... If not...... ??????

In NJ you cannot pump your own gas... all stations have pump attendants who do it for you...... I know... it's weird... but so is a lot of stuff in NJ... like the famous "jug handles", where you have to make a right turn first to make a left turn...

Yeah I enjoy watching the old classic movies; Ben Hur, Ten Commandments, Longest Day, all of the old John Wayne western and WWII movies, B&W war movies, Bullitt, The French Connection... and at Christmas time, it's not "officially" Christmas for me until I watch the original Scrooge, a Christmas Carol with Alistair Sim. My brother-in-law gave me a huge box of old VCR tapes of WWII movies, westerns etc., that I watched, but my VCR broke and I need to find a new one. My wife gave me a bunch of old Roy Rogers movies (he was my childhood hero), along with Hopalong Cassidy, and The Cisco Kid.
