Greetings, Mostly 'known' elsewhere as 'Swede70', here I pop up on what surely seems the most active kit board I've examined. Ex-librarian with a passion for print reference research in-depth to support the building of what I hope are accurate period road racers and relevant homologation specials. I'm always willing to share notes in relation to technique and the pooling of reference resources to serve the common good, and am generally accepting of all interests championing technique and process above all. Whatever I do won't be a secret, whereas I'll try to lend reasoned value for my presence here. Although hardly a prolific builder, most of my time to date has been spent on select 1:18 diecast rebuilds consistent with doing what I want in the larger scale. Indeed - a lot of 1:18th models of domestic musclecar topics simply aren't well tooled, although for refinishing this and scratch building that there is much to recommend. I do cast items in resin, hence if something is obliquely spoken of within the space of my infrequent posts, indeed a chance exists that I do a few clones for those so-inclined to attempt matters similar. Please feel free to contact me if mysteries exist in relation to tearing down specific tools, if refinishing mysteries confound, etc. for I'd be pleased to lend value thus. Topics interests: '68 - '71 SCCA Trans-Am racers. Homologation specials as suggested above. Police packages in a contemporary vein. BMW Neu Klasse anything (i.e. BMW 2002's, CS 3.0 coupes, etc.) American Motors high performance oddities (i.e. Rebel Machines, SC/360 Hornets, etc.) Mark Donohue anything. Kind thanks for acceptance of my registration here... Mike K. Fraser, MI.
