Glad that's out of the way. Still these things are gonna go quickly! So these are not inventory tracked and I accidentally left it on with an inventory of one. Theoretically somebody could order a million of these and it would just take forever for me to actually ship it I'd also be a very rich man but yeah that that was my fault and I'll own it.

I ask because I just completed a Dodge D-100 with spare tires mounted in a similar fashion on the bed. I dropped the idea of making the brackets when I realized that they would not be visible under the wheels. So I just glued the wheels in place. Unless you just wanted to display the brackets without the wheels mounted.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 A winch bumper for 1/24. Olson bros. already makes some very nice ones but only for 1/25. nothing for the many 1/24 truck kit out now. You could maybe even mak it a little more modern looking with the inset driving lights abd tubular brushgaurds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjacobs Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I concur with the thought about updated bumpers, both front and rear, being produced. Even some of the current roll bars, utility racks and such I would think to be popular. I've built both of A&N's 3d printed 2019 Ram 2500 and 3500's and they are begging for accessorizing them with such. Just go to a website like Black Horse Off Road for ideas and a away we go! I know it's easy for a person not into producing, but just building to say it should make money. As a business owner, I know a lot more is involved. Cheers! I do appreciate what all these cottage industries do for our hobby! I try to show it with dollars too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It hardly sells, common question is to just sell this but or that part. That doesn't make sense for me. To sell a single part is a lot of work for little to no profit. Once fees materials and shipping is done I am lucky to make a buck. Not to sound greedy but to put that work forward to not even buy a cup of Joe is a hard sell for me, pun intended, much less my wife who likes my attention.

pjacobs Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 In full agreement about all that. It's fun, but you still gotta make a buck and have time for life. Just because some people think something will sell well for the reason they like it doesn't always apply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stitchdup Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 how about stock grilles for the amt 33 willys and the revell 50 austin. It would open up a lot of new hot rod possibilities Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would open up a lot of new hot rod possibilities I am starting a thread for grill requests, but I will need a kit for scanning from here on out, not all the kit but the parts required for fitment, usually the body. Return shipping will be paid for with a purchase. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I know they are different, all the Ford inline engines will be similar. I will start working on it this week. That would be a holy grail for me. My first truck had a 300 I6 in it, and I'm trying to recreate it in scale, and this is the only stumbling block. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 How difficult would it be to do this motorcycle in 1/25. It doesn't even have to steer or even roll. You could do it in one piece and let us worry about painting it. A pair of these would look great in the back of a 1/25 pickup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 How about a GM TH350 transmission? I know there are some in 1/24 and 1/25 scale, but there are none in 1/16 and up scales that I can find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey429 Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Late to the party here, but hopefully not too late. Would a turbocharger set up for the Detroit 8V71s be of any interest to get modeled and printed? I want to add one to the engine in a Transtar, and that means either raiding an AMT KW Aerodyne (any of its variants) for one off of its 8V92. I'd hate to do that and then that leaves me with an engine that's almost unusable. I tried scratch building one using a spare Cummins turbo but the way they sit on top of the DD blower means they have a kind of unique plenum to feed it. I can handle building the exhaust plumbing and adapting some manifolds, but the turbocharger has proven difficult. There's a few different configurations for stationary, marine, industrial and truck engines, this is what I'm referring too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
