george 53 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Whooo Geeeze, am I GLAD we met, Danny, AND that you joined the DMCC!!! These are BEAUTIFULLY cast peices!!! I can see them being used by ALOT of guys!!! They look GREAT! Hope the guys in the club can give you even MORE tips an pointers on how to do a SMASH BANG job on your castings, although, personally, I have never seen ANY of your products done by ANYONE!!! They are GREAT!!!
Len Woodruff Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 (edited) Danny's resin parts are the top of the heap when it comes to resin cast. Same quality as Replica's & Miniatures. I have nearly all of the items on his website and am looking forward to posting my 1st build using his castings of Brakes, Drums and Axles. Edited November 24, 2010 by Len Woodruff
george 53 Posted November 24, 2010 Posted November 24, 2010 Thanks for the holla,Len! it's appericiated. Just met Danny last week when he come to our club meeting. AND he joined! Wasn't THAT cool? He's a REAL nice guy, and I look forward to gettin and useing some of his parts! Thanks Again,Len!
dannyi Posted November 25, 2010 Author Posted November 25, 2010 Thank you Len, I really appreciate your comments!, and can't wait to see what your building. Thanks George, I'm glad I came to the club meeting, appreciate your kindness and showing me around. Look forward to being a member and getting to know everybody. I know I could learn a lot there!
imatt88 Posted November 27, 2010 Posted November 27, 2010 Dan, Do you happen to make those brake drum sets in 1/24th scale as well? Cheers, Ian
dannyi Posted November 29, 2010 Author Posted November 29, 2010 Sorry for my late response Ian, I was out of town for the holiday. To answer your question, when it comes to parts like mine, with all the various sizes there are, the difference between 1/24 and 1/25 is very minimal. You should have no problem using them in either scale.
imatt88 Posted November 30, 2010 Posted November 30, 2010 Works for me! I'll need at least two sets of the old school finned brake drums, front and rear. I'll need one set very soon, and the other I'll have to contact you
dannyi Posted November 30, 2010 Author Posted November 30, 2010 ..sounds good Ian. I have the master made for the 'hollow' finned drums ready and hope to have the mold done in the next day or two. Everything else I have in stock.
dannyi Posted January 6, 2011 Author Posted January 6, 2011 (edited) ..got a couple new items made. Got a clutch package that I posted in the resin section and a redesigned brake shoe assembly. This one is a little more accurate and now comes with a spindle for the front set. I also re-did the axle hubs so they would fit the spindle......the brake shoe assemblies don't come with the springs but their not hard to make, just some brass wire wrapped around a needle then painted.

dannyi Posted January 7, 2011 Author Posted January 7, 2011 ..thanks Danno and George, I been wanting to redo these for awhile now, pretty happy with the way they turned out.....
RJWood Posted January 11, 2011 Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) I just ordered a set of the ratrod finned brake drum inserts from e-bay. They look great, and I can't wait to use em'. Thanks Daniel Oh, and I bookmarked your site. Lots of nice stuff there. Edited January 11, 2011 by RJWood
dannyi Posted January 12, 2011 Author Posted January 12, 2011 ..thanks Ron, I appreciate that. I hope you like the rat rod brake drums, their a good seller for me. The nice thing about them is they can be sanded to just about any thickness you need, or used just as they are.
ian ashton Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 What do you use to photograph, those pics are great! I need to get a macro lens for my Canon.
dannyi Posted January 15, 2011 Author Posted January 15, 2011 What do you use to photograph, those pics are great! I need to get a macro lens for my Canon. Ian, I use a Nikon Coolpix S630. 12 megapixels with 7x zoom. It's a few years old but does a real nice job in close-up mode.
dannyi Posted August 1, 2011 Author Posted August 1, 2011 It's been awhile since I've posted anything, got a major basement remodeling project going on, but I have managed to make a few new items. Plus I can now offer chrome plated wheels. Please take a moment to check out my web site and see if there's anything you need or may want for a future project. I also have an e-bay store (Scenes Unlimited) plus I have a face book page now. Question and/or comments are always welcome................Danny
