Hi guys. I hope this is in the right section, if not please move to the right one. I've been slowly looking into the resin stuff, but I'm a bit reluctant to buy in the states because customs always picked my package out (Bought RC parts several times). I always had to pay about 50 bucks to get my parts so I'm not looking forward to that again. My question is: Does anyone know shops that make/sell resin stuff in 1/24 and 1/25 in Europe? Thanks in advance, Lucas.

Just started playing around with making molds/resin parts and having success so far with solid style rims (i.e. centerlines) and now experimenting with open style rims (i.e. cragar SS's) but running into issues with getting the areas between the spokes to stay open. Any tips, tricks or suggestions are welcomed. -
I need some help. I a building my fist resin kit and I am stumped when it comes to the windshield. I am building a Vega panel and need tips on how to first get the curvature and then what type of glue to use. I have canopy glue (which is similiar to Elmers) but it doesn't have the strength to hold the curvature. Thanks in advance. -

These are just Fantastic....... -
This was spotted at the 2014 NNL East show. Kudos to the builder for taking on the challenge.

These Matrix models are really Fantastic. Check out the chrome trim around the trunk lid, and the beautiful interior.

This Forum wasn't easy to find. Here's the Inspiration. (http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2013/10/20/hemmings-find-of-the-day-1967-lincoln-continental-2/) BLACK with BLACK 1967 Lincoln Continental 4 Door with the Vinyl removed from the Roof. A 1953 Nash (?) Flying Lady Hood Ornament was added. Hood Ornament? We don't need no Stinking Hood Ornament. If I could drive, I'd buy this 1967. The only thing I would change is... the Exhaust. For some reason... they're never loud enough. A set of Cherry Bomb Glasspacks would cure that. Here's the Victim. I'm not going to convert this into a 67. I just need a good Hardtop to fit this Body. I believe I have similar set of wheels or I can use Baby Moons or Dog Dish Wheel Covers. I've done one as a Wagon and another one (Pretty much) Factory Stock. It's time for something TWISTED. The next Contestant is a Resin Realm 1957 Chevy 210 4 door. Okay-Okay... I'll admit it, I like 4 door cars and Wagons. I haven't any pictures of the one my older brother built and drove waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the early 70's. It was all Black with Black Interior. It had a built 327c.i.d. and I can't remember if it was a Manual 3 or 4 speed trans.. I helped him change it once. It was one of those cars that you heard loooooong before you caught sight of it. Here's my dilemma, I got sick and lost some vision. I can't Re-scribe the Panel lines in the Resin Body. If there's anyone in my area of the Frozen State of Connecticut that wants an Unbuilt AMT 57 Chevy Kit: 638 in exchange for Re-scribing the Resin Body's Panel Lines, let me know. (The Unbuilt AMT 57 Chevy Kit: 638) I bought this AMT Kit: 638 because I couldn't remember which kit I needed. (The AMT 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop needed and bought) As it turned out I needed the older AMT 1957 Chevy Bel Air Hardtop. I'll always remember it as the"Pepper Shaker" issue. It seems funny to me because, it was the same Brother's favorite Model kit. How weird is that? Another weird thing about this kit is... the upper Grille part that's supposed open with the Hood... doesn't. I can still build... albeit slowly and carefully. If I couldn't... my Doctor wouldn't be happy with my Demeanor, his new nickname and choice of Colorful Metaphors hurled at him. I can live without driving but not cars.

I'm trying to build a replica of a 57 Chevy 210 4 door my brother drove waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the 70's. I bought a resin 57 Chevy 210 4 door but, I ran into a bit of a snag. It seems that heart attack number 12 cost me more than just 4 bypasses. I lost partial vision in my left eye in the form of a dark line that crosses my eye at about a 40 degree angle, fuzzy vision in the right and I can't seem to keep my hands from shaking. The latter may be because of the medications I have to take. When I bought the Resin 57, I also bought 2 AMT 57s. 1 fairly new reissue of the old "Pepper Shaker" and the new issue with the opening trunk. I bought the newer issue because I couldn't remember which one of the two I needed to finish the resin one off. As it turnes out, I needed the early AMT issue. The problem with the resin model is the door and trunk lines need to be scribed better and I'm in no hurry to lop a finger off. I'm hoping there's someone in my area that can scribe these for me. I'd be more than happy to give up the other 57 Chevy model to get this done. It's still in the box and and unbuilt. Next question, Can the Alclad Chrome process be used with a Testors 9215 ACRYL MODEL CAR SPRAY PAINT SET? I can't get a straight answer from Testors or Alclad and I've tried to use an Airbrush and failed on several occasions. Thanks. -
Was looking at some of the parts this person is selling on Ebay and they look familiar. Wanted to get the pro street tubs. Anyone get parts from this Castenparts person and if so, how was delivery and quality? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Resin-Pro-Street-Back-Half-Chassis-W-Tubs-/221309191326?pt=Model_Kit_US&hash=item33870e449e

If you are a Flat-Top fan and collect 1/43 scale models, these are for you. Details and paint are fantastic.

Hey Everyone, I'm working on a Revell Ford Escort Turbo Street Machine kit, and would like to kitbash it to make my own version of what a MKIII Escort should look like. So far I've found the Technoracing TV-R wheels (Fujimi), Recaro Trophy seats (The Parts Box), and some awesome Weber side-draft carbs (The Parts Box) that have all either already been ordered or are soon to be ordered. Now, I've still got a list of parts that I'm looking to purchase if they are made, and would like some help on where to find them. I'd be happy to make any purchase in either resin or plastic, and would appreciate any tips or hints you might be able to provide. Thanks so much! -Fender flares -Side-draft carburetors (not Weber) -Side-draft individual throttle bodies -Ford Sierra RS500 spoiler -Ford Escort RS Cosworth spoiler -15" BBS RS/RM wheels -Hood vents What I'm looking for is European tuner/hot hatch parts. Though some of them work, all I'm having much luck with are Japanese and American-style tuner parts. Thanks so much for any and all help! Regards, Matt -
What type of glue would you recomend for using for assemble resin parts? Would be nice with product name and maby a little picture of the product. It`s okay to know since i most likely would purchase it from Ebay since many of products you use arent avaliable in my country,or have a diffrent name. Thanks in advance.

I think that this is one of the most beautiful trucks ever made. I have never seen a kit offered, and I'm wondering if any of you know if there is a resin offering of the 1955 Studebaker pickup.

Are you old enough to remember when new cars were hidden under tarps or covers or behind curtains on the showroom floor until "New Car Introduction Day"? Well, here's sort of a "Look What I Got Today" . . . 6 days late. Unfortunately, it's not quite 'Introduction Day' yet. The factory is busy cranking out some inventory before lifting the veil. But be patient . . . this one is well worth the wait! I garrohntee! But, seriously, look what followed me home last Wednesday. "New Model Introduction Day" Coming Very Soon at the Top Cop Shop in the Great Southwest. (PS: My "good" camera took a dive and is permanently 10-7. So, I resurrected an ancient one ~ please forgive the low resolution pic.) -
Picked up an opened AMT '62 Bel Air 409 off of evilbay it's missing both intake manifolds and nothing else. It came with photo etch wipers and full detail kit so the two intakes missing is a nuisance that I'll live with I guess. Question - who makes a resin intake manifold for the 409? Dual four barrels would be nice but, Webers would be so fine!

Resin HQ Monaro body from The Parts Box with AMT 71 duster interior/engine/chassis. Pics: Interior All comments welcome.
-
I got this resin body from eBay and I had an AMT 71 duster minus the body so i decided to make it work and with a little trimming of the chassis: as you can see there was some filling to be done but there were only 3 air bubbles and were a quick fix so i was happy. also i wanted to have a engine so i opened the hood, not too spectacular as i fount the resin a bit harder to scribe so its a little rough (i will add a bit of material around the hood and sand it to shape to get a better fit). another good thing is i will get the nicely detailed duster chassis (although not quite accurate for a HQ but it does look good)

Here are some pics of my latest completion. It's based on the Revell 48 Woody. I mastered the grille and hood to convert it to a 42 Model. I painted the grille pieces with Alclad. I think they actually look better in the picture than in reality. Maybe it's the flash that highlights the chrome look. Here are a couple of other conversions I have done as well. A stock 42 Convertible and a custom 42 coupe.

Here's my next project, it's a resin FJ Holden van kit. The kit is from Majestic Resin Australia and comes as virtually a complete kit. I thought I better put one together to evaluate how well they fit and use it as a chance to re-engineer any parts if we need to, to make it more "user friendly". Cheers Rob. Here's what the kit contains: Mocked up, not sure what wheels I'll run yet. Coat of primer on her, stay tuned......

Took awhile but I got the 34 Ford Altered Done and added it to my stable of Drag Cars. The base kit is the WWB "Winged Express" which was built up as instructed but then I added a few details to it like the spark plug wires and fuel lines as well as the Throttle linkage at the rear base of the injectors. The headers were drilled out, Most of the chrome peices were stripped and repainted with different shades of metal. The wheels had valve stems added to them and the rear tires are the kit tires but they were sanded to give them a better look also the I rounded up the square edges of the tires. Jimmy Flintstone supplied the 34 Ford Rat "T" body used in this build I picked it up at NNL East last year. After soaking in Westley's Bleach White for 24 hours I sanded off the drip rails, hinges and door handles and door lines were filled and I shot with a coat of Plasti-Kote Primer and the blue is Dupicolor Pre-Mixed shot through my airbrush then the dry transfer decals were put on. I shot 4 coats of clear Lacquear sanding after each coat except after the first coat. After the last coat of Clear I worked my way up to a 12,000 grit sandpaper. Then buffed it out using two cuts of polishing compound then wax. Hope you enjoy the pictures of the "Freedom Runner" 34 Ford Altered Hope you enjoyed my build if you would like to see more picture of it during the build check them out here http://s81.photobucket.com/albums/j206/chuckinredneck/34%20Ford%20Altered/
