Rookie Resin

[bill lanfear]

Hello everyone!  I updated the website and added a few things. 

I changed a few prices so hopefully certain things are more affordable.  For those that purchased those items at a higher rate, E-mail me at rookieresin@gmail.com and I will discount your next purchase. I fixed some shipping prices for international sales. I also added a specific GMC grill for the AMT kit as the kit is a bit wider and my grill is accurate for 1:1 but it looked narrow for the AMT cab.  I apologize for any inconvenience and if you purchased a GMC grill with intent to use the AMT cab, PM me and I will make it right.  I tried to think of everything when launching the site but missed a few things along the way and hopefully we won't see anymore problems.  Thanks again everyone!   Bill     https://www.rookieresin.com/

Got the badges covered,  I will throw some in your order Tom as a gift.

Thanks Bill!  I anxiously await my order!   I believe I can do the wheel cover scripts with decals.

Hi Tom,  I was referring to the v6 emblems on the front fenders. (That is what I threw in your order) I don't have the hubcaps finished yet but they are on the list.

Hello Bill!

I can see some nice parts, that we all were waiting for! I am your next international buyer!

But it would be nice to note wheel size for GMC & Ford wheels.

Good luck to your busyness!

Thanks Sergey, I have the diameter posted for the ford dually wheels (if you click on the pic) but I see I need to put the depth as well and the measurements for the GM wheels,  thanks for bringing that to my attention.

A visual in color!

I received my order to do the Steinbeck GMC camper the other day.

Fantastic quality!  The propane bottles are insane with detail too!

Thanks Tom, can;t wait to see the GMC build!

[bill lanfear]

Working on these too!  Struggling to get the letters clearer. The whole thing is 1 cm in diameter

Hi Bill,

On the 1:1 hubcap the letters have more of a gap to them, maybe that is the issue?

Hi Jason....Yeah my thoughts too!  On the computer they look great but when printed, they gain some weight.  Its tricky sometimes cause you have to over exaggerate here and there and sometimes you have to under exaggerate to get the right look from computer to physical model.  I will keep messing with them.  Thanks, Bill

[Tom Geiger]

There isn't much depth to the lettering on the 1:1 hubcap.  May be better handled with a decal.  That's how I was planning on doing mine before I knew you were working on caps.

Thanks Tom, the decals are a great idea as your correct, the letters are pretty thin.  I will still keep working on them to see if I can get something marketable.  What are you using for the caps themselves if you don't mind me asking?

I got my engine and it looks awesome!! I had to order a couple of grills to go with it. I'm hoping to build something between a 4000 - 6500 GMC between 60 and 66 model.

Very fast service too!!!

This might be a silly question, but what color would the GMC V6 engine block be?  Would it be orange like Chevrolet?

Good question...I've never seen one in person, but googling turns up photos of them in red.

I don't know yet!  I will go through my cap collection and see what comes close in size and shape.

Hi Bill. When I click on link I dont get anything showing up. Just a blank page that says rookie resin. Even when I do a search the same thing happens. Is there something I need to do with the computer to see. Also I am not very computer smart.

Hi Steve,  this link should work  https://www.rookieresin.com/    if you still don't get anything, it may be your internet is slow.  The web page has lots if pictures so it may need a little load time.  Let me know if you still have trouble and I will do what I can to help you.  I tried the link and it worked fine so try again and see if it works. Thanks, Bill

I just wanted to say that if you have any doubts ordering from this Rookie, you can relax. I placed an order on Saturday morning and about an hour or so ago got a message that my shipment was going out today! Every part of the transaction has been smooth and the communication has been excellent. If the parts are half as good as the shopping experience, I am in for more of whatever Bill dreams up!

 

Keep it up Bill, our hobby needs more vendors like you to help us build stuff not available in a kit. The service level you have started with has been awesome and I hope you can maintain it!
