Joe Lange Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 After just getting an email from Ted's Modeling Marketplace I thought a little 'Thank You' was in order. Now that we are all so spoiled with internet 'Instant Gratification', and some are painfully finding out that it's not all that's it's cracked up to be, I just wanted to give a BIG 'Thank you' to some folks who really do give good service and respond to emails. Ted's Modeling Marketplace Texas 3D Customs Fireball Modelworks Morgan Automotive Detail Keith Marks Decals Speedway Decals Jimmy Flintstone Studios These are only a few but, they are still there and giving good service when a lot of good folks are going out of business. THANK YOU GUYS! 5 1
Calb56 Posted June 1, 2023 Posted June 1, 2023 I'd throw in Jason of Louverworks Resin Parts and Josh of VCGResins to this list. 1
lizardlust Posted June 2, 2023 Posted June 2, 2023 (edited) I would like to include Missing Link Resin for offering unique, high quality parts and outstanding customer service and support for many years. Thank you Kevin!! Edited June 2, 2023 by lizardlust Error 2
restoman Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I've had really good experiences with Drag City Casting, Replicas & Miniatures of Maryland, and Hart's Parts. All three have answered any questions i've asked over and above the initial order communication.
Calb56 Posted July 5, 2023 Posted July 5, 2023 I've gotta add a plug for Drag City Casting...not only is it top quality work but Ed Fluck is as stand up as they come! 1

lizardlust Posted August 4, 2023 Posted August 4, 2023 You can get to it by looking up cults3d andrey_bezrodny...that shows all the files that Andy can print. As far as pricing, shipping and availability you would want to contact Andy here on the forum.

Lone Wolf Posted September 7, 2023 Posted September 7, 2023 (edited) Like the OP, I too have very high regards for: Fireball Model Works (best, highest quality & highest detailed carburetors I've ever seen). Morgan Automotive Detail - MAD Modeling. Calgana Castings. All three make great, high quality, Cast Resin products! Please alway remember, making cast resin parts normally takes significantly more time than 3D Printed parts, so expect & allow roughly a month, sometimes more, before pestering the sellers with "when are my.." emails. Such emails only slow these often very busy "lone wolves" down. The better known and more popular these guys are, the more likely they stay swamped with steady flows of orders. The smartest move you can make, imo, is to do your best to plan ahead, and order enough parts for several (or more) future builds, so you'll have what you need on hand, as you get to each build up. That said, larger orders could easily add to the completion & delivery times, so patience helps. I always tell them to take their time as I'm not in any hurry, besides I'm slower than molasses at building anyway (due to numerous health problems).

I disagree with casting takes longer, it's just different. You can cast a mold with 50 carbs in it in minutes, printing takes hours per batch, but you have to make molds for casting, but printing requires screen time to make the models, the time spent modeling makes a big difference in the outcome. I am not against casting so don't take it that way, it's just different.
lizardlust Posted October 21, 2023 Posted October 21, 2023 I recently placed and received an order with Texas 3d Customs and I am VERY impressed. Beautifully crafted parts and the packaging and shipping was first rate.
BDSchindler Posted October 22, 2023 Posted October 22, 2023 I have ordered from both TX3DCustoms and Iceman Collections and both companies have stellar products. Most recently, I ordered and received a 1/16th scale FORD FE Cobra 427 to drop into a Revell 1/16 Cobra from Charles at TX3DCustoms and I am completely blown away by it. Pictures coming in a separate thread. Although not a "parts" provider, I also need to give a shout out to Splash Paints! Some of the best paint products out there. I am not the world's greatest painter by a long shot but Splash Paints go on so effortlessly that I swear that even a kindergarten finger painter can get a professional looking finish with a decent airbrush 1
