S10XtremeSR Posted November 28, 2009 Posted November 28, 2009 I am looking for a person who can cast me some resin tires that are soft. made out of something like Urethane. I can send you the tire itself, and can pay(not much at first) or trade. I got a couple things left but not much. I am looking to get a couple sets made, and want to mess around with them. If anyone can do something like that, please let me know. We can haggle over the details via PM.

S10XtremeSR Posted November 29, 2009 Author Posted November 29, 2009 Well we have something in the works, and from what everyone tells me it should be a good product. I am sending him a couple tires and we will see what can be done.

jeffs396 Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I too can vouch for Alan's work...TOP NOTCH! As soon as you see the way your order is packaged, you'll be impressed! And the quality...did I say TOP NOTCH??? I will be ordering again from Alan, & hope to work with him on a few resin projects in the future!
crazyjim Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Pictures at Ma's Resin aren't the greatest. The pics Jeff S posted look terrific. Where are those wheels from.

I think on the Fotki site if you click on the thumbnail, it'll give you the better original image that Alan uploaded to them? The wheels are L to R...Monogram 1/24 Chevy stepside ralley, Revell 1/24 CJ-7, holes modded by drilling, and stock CJ-7 rim. Here's how they look on an old J10 glue bomb: And on a CJ: These BFG mud-terrains measure out to 35", available in nice soft rubber or black resin!
S10XtremeSR Posted December 20, 2009 Author Posted December 20, 2009 I got a sample of a tire from him, and it was a "bad" tire and I was still impressed. I got a set coming to me of something else and I will post pics when I get them. I am actually very excited, for once. haha

The Fotki thumbs aren't that great but if you click on them the big pic is better. I'm not the greatest photographer either. I'm also working on some 4x4 conversion kits for a number of vehicles & the original hollow slicks from the 1/16 Aurora funnycars. I'll post some pics when done.
Casey Posted December 21, 2009 Posted December 21, 2009 I'm also working on... *snip*...the original hollow slicks from the 1/16 Aurora funnycars. I'll post some pics when done. The rear M&H slicks, I presume? You have my attention. Any plans to do the front tires, too?
cnaind Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 The rear M&H slicks, I presume? You have my attention. Any plans to do the front tires, too? The slicks I have are Goodyear & Firestone 500 slicks. They are a thin, floppy rubber. One of my club members gave them to me & I thought he said they were Aurora but I really don't remember 100%. He didn't give me any of the front tires but if somebody sent one I'm sure I could make them..... Hint, hint.....

I'll have to locate my Aurora tires in the meantime, as they're in storage...

I never bought any of the big scale funny cars so I don't know what came in where. When I post the pics I'll remember to put Revell instead of Aurora.

No biggie, just wanted to make sure you knew what you had, since the Revell and Aurora rear wheels do not interchange on each other's slicks.
