Hosted on Fotki

Gregg e-'d me a couple weeks ago and asked if I would be interested in reviving "Resin Talk." Initially created by Mike Carroll, Resin Talk showcased all kinds of resin kits and parts. It's an area I've always enjoyed, so I'm excited to bring it back.

Watch for lots of interesting stuff!

The photo, by the way, is the Modelhaus '56 Mercury Montclair hardtop. This example features some aftermarket wheels and tires, and has been lowered. It looks different now. Watch for a review later this summer.

Hope you enjoy it.

Good to have you back in the mags, Terry!

I wasn't aware that Rick actually got anything cast! He showed up at NNLs and shows for years with the same half finished masters. He was talented but didn't finish much as far as I know.

Dean Milano has one of Rick's castings up for sale on evilbay....a 1957 Ford sedan short tail body.

This is great news, and I look forward to reading it.

As the Bluesman said, I too was a big fan of your "light commercial" column in the old SAE.

With Terry Jessee and Larry Greenberg here, Its like being home again.

Great work GREGG.

Model Cars Magizine is the best.

Great news!

Have you seen what Tapani Rauramo has been casting over in Finland? He's currently casting a Ford Anglia, Saab 96, and Volvo P1800 in 1/25 scale. I have the Saab, and a couple friends have the Volvos and Anglias. Wayne Webers just finished this Anglia for his brother-in-law, who owned the 1:1. I helped him w/paint/foil, finished it up Monday:

Very cool/obscure stuff out there. Tapani is working on a Citroen DS master. Prices are high due to the dollar being relatively worthless vs. the Euro.

i would love to see a citreon DS and i wish that anglia came in a commercial panel van so i could recreate one of my first cars, that i stuck a cortina GT motor in. the saab 96 sounds like a winner too, also we need a sonnet type 1 including the mag wheels!

great to hear a resin column is coming; its one thing we need more of: coverage of resin aftermarket. please dont be exclusively USA stuff though, as zoom zoom points out theres a lot more out there that many of us dont have a clue about.

That's great news Terry! I'm still fairly new to resin (built three, a handfull more in progress and a lot in the stash) but it's always nice to have an expert opinion, AND a great new showcase for cool new products I may not otherwise hear about. Really looking forward to that!

I would love them, but too much?

Nice! :( Cortina motors are awsome! and yes, not exclusively the US.

Tapani's work is very nice indeed.

I have the Volvo also, which is going to be a fun build.

And, he's a super nice guy too boot!
