george 53 Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 John, is that IRS articulated? As in, haveingU-joints? They sure look like they are hangin on their own weight, like they would if you took off the trailing arms. Man, that resin looks like injected plastic!
Ryan S. Posted July 29, 2011 Posted July 29, 2011 Hi John, looking great so far. I love the wood texture on the steering "wheel". What kind of glue did you use to glue the two halves of the tires together? I had the idea of doing something similar but didn't know what would work. Thanks.

Danno Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 The Master Caster is a name many of us in the car modeling clubs here in Phoenix (Moonlight Modelers and Cactus Car Modelers) bestowed on Greg Wann over a year and a half ago, because Greg's resin casting are so superb and superior to most resin products available. Greg is a humble guy, but he began using the name after we foisted it upon him. I saw today that someone else ~ another caster from Phoenix ~ is now calling himself by the same name. When people have asked me about the exquisite resin castings from Greg Wann that they have seen on this and other forums, including the Cosma Ray kit buildups that I and John Teresi have posted here, I have referred them to Greg Wann, The Master Caster. Greg produces outstanding resin kits and parts. Make no mistake; don't be confused; Greg Wann IS the Original Master Caster from Phoenix and is in no way affiliated with Dencon Resin Products. This is not a bash, just a factual statement as I do not want anyone to think I may have misled them by referring them to The Master Caster if they happened upon Dencon's site and may have thought that Dencon was the producer of the Cosma Ray kit and other exceptional resin kits or parts that I may have recommended. I recommend Greg Wann; I do not recommend Dencon.
W-409 Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Amazing work, as usual! Those tires and wheels are looking very realistic, and all of the little things, you've done are looking amazing. It's going to be very nice model, again.
