Out of de blue several weeks ago, ole Alan from Ma's resins gives de Turkey man, me an E-mail. O K , I opens it an wadda know , he wants me to do a revue on his products . Well we all know Alan now provides all of the old Satco tire line up in his outstanding collection . Still, I asked him about doing the old A M T "Compact " tires from the 1961-2 annuals and guess what , he's gonna do em too ! These tires are scarce as , well , hens teeth !I need a few to complete both a 1960 Ford Falcon and a 1961 Buick Special station wagon . These both will become part of the new Twin Chimney Crown station diorama I'm slowwwwwly getting built . I'm having to really scratch build a lotta stuff . Dave at R and D Unique attests to this .

O K , lets get to packaging. In Advertising as well as marketing , packing you'r e goods is important . This was the thing that impressed me most about the boys at Round -2 , their sturdy boxes ! Alan is NO EXCEPTION . This guy put everything in a nice corragated box and within the box, EVERYTHING is seperated by plastic and peanuts ! I mean to tell ya , this guy don't screw around ! The tires were individually packaged in HEAVY Polyethylene clear plastic ! Same went for the Beautiful Dana rear end ! Not only that , but he casts this rear in a Silver resin , whew ......... !!!!!!!!

Hey , enough of me goin on bout nuthin , heres living proof !

Now I will be using Alan - uh Ma's resin products to convert a A M T 1960 Chevrolet Pick Up into a heavier 35oo series wrecker form 1960 or so . The crane wil be scratch built and I'll be posting pictures as I go along so ya'all can follow and mabye build yer own "Towmater " .

Alan , first thank you for allowing me to do a story on ya ! Uh , keep yer cell phone charged too ! Ed Shaver

Ed, Alan's a GREAT guy to deal with, an just to plain out KNOW! I should know, caz he's my Cuz! I've NEVER gotten ANYTHING from Al that wasn't TOP NOTCH, FIRST CLASS!! I'm glad to see him doing more and more off the wall stuff, the kinda stuff you CAN'T find anywhere! Who else casts 65 Merc parts at a REASONABLE rate? Other than Modelhaus you WON'T find 65 Merc parts, and HE'S got 'em! Yep I gotta give Alan/Ma's Resins a staight A on his buisness, and anyone who deals with him will see for themselves just how good he IS!!!biggrin.gifwink.gif
