Found my set of Cragars, got the decal sheet, photo etch detail set, Grump Lump, now to find a good big block. All I can find is a resin 572 in 1/12. Hate to pay that much for the resin print, but I might be forced to. I'll still have to fab the tunnel ram. The Monogram 1/12 '67 Corvette has the BBC. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Thank you for that. I may have that one somewhere. The search continues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The front mags from the Monogram 1/12 '57 chevy kit will work also, but those look like Rocket mags... Please post pictures of what you have.... Thanks!. 🙂 Edited February 2, 2022 by deuces wild Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4mula1fan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 (edited) I have the Cragars and slicks from the 57 kit. The chrome was bad so I stripped them. I'll repaint with Molotow. Saw some bigger wrinkled slicks on the bay, but they may be too tall/wide. Haven't mocked anything up yet. Pics to follow shortly.

I've been using my Elegoo for a month or so now. Been kind of obsessed with it. Wouldn't surprise me if it came out of the same factory as the Anycubic or Creality printers. All looks almost identical! Which resin are you using? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamsuperdan Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Found this one earlier today. Still factory sealed, from a Kijiji seller I actually bought other kits from a few years ago. Kijiji is like Craigslist, but Canadian. Eh. Dude thought it was a curbside, which is why he wanted to sell it. $20 CDN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In any event, a great score for you Dan. Most Kijiji model car listers here believe that any used, common model car kit is worth a minimum of $40.

Wouldn't surprise me if it came out of the same factory as the Anycubic or Creality printers. All looks almost identical! Which resin are you using? They probably do! I’m sure internally they’re pretty similar! Been using the Anycubic ‘basic’ gray resin for now - but a couple of people told me to try the water-based stuff…I should try that next. I really want to choose one and just stick with it for the sake of not having to play with the settings all the time, so I’ll likely give a few different kinds a try and then stick with whichever I get on best with. The gray stuff I’m messing with now seems to work pretty well…retains detail nicely on even tiny little stuff and I haven’t had any gloopy-mess failures YET (knock on wood) Which resin do you like?

Even though this question isn't directed at me, I figured I would throw my 2 cents in. I've tried many different resins, and my go-to resin for everyday stuff is Siraya Tech Fast ABS-like Grey. With a mono screen your exposure time will be somewhere around 2 seconds. I've used the Anycubic above and liked it, especially for the price. I've used Elegoo water washable and I never could get it to feel like it was clean. Could very well be my cleaning method as I didn't have a wash and cure station at that time. Creality standard resin worked okay also. But now that I have tried the Siraya Tech Fast I don't feel the need to try anything else unless it's for a specific reason. I do have some Resione F69 waiting to be used for tires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been using the Elegoo water-washable, and have been happy with results. Having said that, I do have a couple of gallon jugs of 99% IPA, and will be trying some clean up with that. As Rob said above, water does a good job, but it sort of doesn't feel clean. Doesn't matter to much, because after I've done some sanding and clean up of the parts, I wash them again with warm water and some dish soap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daddyfink Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 Found this at the local Japanese shopping center, Mitsuwa, while I was checking out at their grocery store. They where on the shelf with the candy in the check out line! They are very nicely detailed and for only around $6 bucks and in 1/24th scale, why not! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted February 4, 2022 Share Posted February 4, 2022 ECOTOOLS 1606 makeup brush set. The big one is soft enough to safely remove dust from models with no damage to fragile parts like mirrors and antennae. The others are great for working with weathering powders, chalks, pastels, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
