Kris Morgan Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 After selling on Ebay and, by word of mouth for a bit We now have a website up. Some of the member here have bought from us in the past. For those not familiar with us we offer a wide aray of detail prewired resin distributors as well as some wheels sets and, a few other odds and, ends. We will be adding more items in the near future. You can have a look at our stuff here http://www.madmodeling.com/store/ Thanks.
Eshaver Posted February 13, 2009 Posted February 13, 2009 Kris, How bout selling a series of Vintage wheels for the Model T T , Model A A and later lighter duty 1 ton trucks such as the Dually Chevrolets and Dodges . I have suggested this to several casters and so far no takers ! Common , ya'll are selling the same products I have already seen ( RACING PARTS). Please??????? Ed Shaver
Kris Morgan Posted February 13, 2009 Author Posted February 13, 2009 Ed, Some stuff to consider. Especially the later model wheels. Not sure what the demand would be for the older stuff though. If I get enough interest, anything is possible though. We do have a few ideas already that are not being done by other casters.

Ed Shaver Ed, Interesting you should mention old truck wheels! I have mastering for the Ford 1.5/2-ton 5-slot, 5 lug offset steel truck wheel, as used by Ford from 1929-52 (along with Chevrolet, Dodge, Studebaker and International Harvester!), and the 1928-early 1929 single (not capable of being "dualed") 6-slot, 5-lug Model AA truck wheel already. In addition, I just got done spending approximately $300 to bring my old Sherline lathe back into action, and later this spring, plan on adding Sherline's excellent vertical mill to my workshop. One of the projects when I get that machine tool will be a TT truck rear wood wheel, possibly doing it with both the 33" high pressure tire, AND a solid rubber tire version. As I write this, I am in the midst of turning out the parts for the Marmon-Herrington Ford AWD front axle units from clear acrylic plastic, expect to have several of these done in a day or two as well. FWIW, all my references, and my own eyeball observation of TT Trucks is that they used the standard Model T passenger car wheel up front, the front carrying very little more than it would have in a passenger car, the vast majority of cargo and body weight being nearly balanced over the rear wheels, so likely I'll not be doing a specific front wheel for the TT.

Guest Davkin Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 What about a Model TT and/or Model AA rear axle/suspension? A decent Model T engine/trans would be nice as well. I've actually started building an Entex 1/16 Model T into a TT but even then I can't use much from it, just the basic engine/trans and front suspension, the rest will have to be scratch built, but if someone comes up with good parts in resin I might be convinced to do it in 1/25 instead!

Eshaver Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Art, Both Jarius and I want you to hurry along with the lathe . I know you're talking about the wheels but that dosen't put them in my hand s as we spoke about this subject in our phone conversation . Heck I think it would be wonderful if Jarius could finance a run of the 1932 Ford trucks he did that outstanding pen and ink of in Resin . Meanwhile you could do the wheels and tires . Then I would have to do a period 1932 Service station , Gulf Perhaps? Ed Shaver Hey , WHITE EAGLE GASOLINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got an email from Gregg about two weeks ago to let me know he will be showing the distributors in the next issue. They will be in the "Whats New" section. As Jeff said,buy all ya like, we'll make more. Thanks again everyone.

Ron Hamilton Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 I recently got the same piece from MAD, and while I agree with most of your comments, the rear of the roof is a tad high, according to my club's resident experts. However, that does not make any difference to me, as I plan to do it as a Ghia. Something similar to this. Good luck, Joe.
RAT-T Posted December 12, 2012 Posted December 12, 2012 (edited) LOOKS NICE. DO YOU HAVE A LINK TO THE MAD SITE? Edited December 12, 2012 by RAT-T
