Lets just say scratch building isn't my Forte.Is there a guy that resin cast's the pieces?

i am not sure what kind of machine guy you are talking about but i faintly remember some resin outfit, reps and mins of maryland maybe, repoping those tommy guns and stuff from the gangbusters series of cars. and i would think if you did some searches for military or even doll house stuff you might come up with a shoe. but christian is right and actually its pretty fun to try scratching something like that, and i often have surprising results myself when just goofing around trying to build something.

It's about the telephone and machine gun that came in the AMT Get Smart Sunbeam kit.

Scale modeling By Chris has a phone booth with that type of phone. Maybe if you contact him he may sell just the phone.

Thanks for the tip Tim,I sent them an e-mail asking about it.

The AMT 65 Lincoln and 49 Merc both came with old school phone handsets. No payphone, though. But, that could be easily built. I know you say you aren't much for scratch building, but you gotta start somewhere. I have a couple of the phones that came with the Merc. As for the guns, some Evergreen round tubing and maybe some rectangular stock is a good place to start. It'll be cheaper and vastly more self-satisfying to DIY. PM me if you want the phone handset.

BTW, aren't you the one who started the "Build a pickup from a car" CBP? You're gonna do a lot more on your Charger than a simple payphone. Also, look at the Post-Apoc and Technicals CBPs to see some amazing scratchbuilt guns.

I have the phone from the 65 Lincoln and plan to use some of it.Also I am better with scratch building larger things then small objects,I was also just asking to see if I could save some time.The gun on the other hand I might be able to build,but like I said earlier just checking to see if I could save some time.As for the Charger it is well under way and is slowly taking shape.

no way those are in the blueprinter issue of the sunbeam tiger? ive got one on the shelf but i am basically too lazy to check it. i assume that kit did not have those parts though or someone would have pointed it out already...

edit: oh and i just realized that phone is a pay phone laying on its back as a console. that show was a crackup and the best parts were the cheesy spy gear!

I'm sorry I forgot to be more specific and say what re-issue I have,I also have the Blueprinter version.I thought that only one issue had the spy stuff and that it was the first one.
