Mixing at least 2 oz doesn't make much sense to me and the directions on the can seem a bit vague too , the thinner the part the more catalyst it takes . I mixed 1/2 oz with 8 drops of catalyst and the lenses seemed to cure but stayed flexible , so I did it a second time with 10 drops to 1/2 oz of resin and it did the trick . . . but it did take several hours for them to harden . Next time I'll probably try 12 drops of catalyst . I was going to ask you how you poured the resin into such a small part , never thought about using a syringe .

Thanks Doug !

Very cool , another survivor gets dusted off ! And you can't beat a Cobra !

Neat ! Very clean and well detailed , and the colors are perfect !

Both look great ! Something about that sport roof on the Galaxie just screams cool !

The Amazing Mold Putty is from Alumilite but you can get it at Hobby Lobby and Hobby Town . It's mixed just like epoxy putty and sets up in about 10 minutes , great for quicky molds of small parts . The Clear Casting resin usually sets up in about 15-20 minutes but with a thin part like these lenses it takes quite a bit longer .

Thanks Mark !

Thanks Dan ! They are basic kits compared to newer offerings but you can't beat the look ! The Early Iron '32 will look great with the wheels & tires from the Li'l Coffin .

That's really sharp looking , it deserves a make over !

Bumpers installed and the interior is painted .

There are probably more but it's the first one I've seen too !

Thanks !

And the Classic Cruiser with a Blue car on the box .

Suspension installed . Nothing fancy here . . . completely box stock , except for sanding and grooving the slicks . And with the engine set in place .

You are absolutely right ! I've always enjoyed super detailing my builds , but lately I've come to enjoy rebuilding old glue bombs even more !

Oooo those are all nice , congrats on a great year !

After clearing the original decals they went on without a hitch . They did need to soak for about 5 minutes each before they would release from the paper ! They were followed by two coats of TS-13 .

It's not fair , I want your toys !! Actually it's pretty neat to see what can be done them .

Thanks guys ! The original headlight lenses are glued in pretty good and will be ruined when I get them out so I grabbed the lenses from the Blue Bandito kit , they are the exact same lenses ! After drilling a hole and applying some pressure the lenses popped right out . Instead of using the Blue Bandito lenses I decided to cast my own . I used some mold putty to make a quicky mold , and some clear casting resin to make the lenses . Once completely dry the flashing is easy to remove .

Sharp looking paint , and the engine looks great !

That's gonna look cool when you're done , great idea !

That old Fiat is coool I really like it ! And strangely I really like your old Chevy II !

Sharp looking builds , they're all great !

Nice save Snake ! Somebody did a decent job originally and obviously knew what it should look like . Your restoration has brought it back to life !
