I appreciate your reply's and encouragement. I have been studying the work of the people on this board (especially my fellow Marylanders) as well as Claus and others. I hope to attain your levels of expertise some day. This board has been a great resource of do's and dont's for me.
The white , green and yellow cars are Subaru Impreza WRX sti's (2005 i think). I cast these bodies from Metal Works die cast cars. The Coke and Kenwood cars were cast from a red and white Kenwood Porsche (956 i believe). It really is great fun and, i learn a little more each time i cast a body.
Thanks guy's. I look forward to seeing more of your work posted on the board.

I see you sold these on <a href=http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1606754-2202639 target=_blank>eBay</a><img src=http://www.awltovhc.com/image-1606754-2202639 width=1 height=1 border=0>. Are you interested in taking custom orders?

Montoya1,
Yes, i would be willing to take custom orders. Just contact me and let me know what you are looking for and hopefully, it will match with what i can do. (tsm3@comcast.net)
My newest offering, the cast of the Porsche 956 painted in Whiskeyhouse Pink (inspired by my wife and toddler daughter) big surprise to me but, has drawn the most interest yet.
My next venture is to produce casts of Super GT series cars. I already have the die cast masters. If i can swing it, i will come back and post the pics.
Thx,

If you mean the series that used to be JGTC, good idea! Tread carefully though because, thanks to Patto decals, there is a fair bit of crossover. People can use the fast n furious bodies that JL did to mock up these cars.
My opinion is that you might need to do something unique. People will always worry that resin is too heavy, frail etc. But if your stuff is not available in polycarbonate it will have more appeal, at least that is what I get told.
What about more rally cars? I know the Scooby, 206, Evo and Focus have already been done in plastic but I'd love a Citroen C2WRC or Peugeot 307WRC. Norev diecast both in 1/64th...
I'd also love to see someone 'tackle' F1, but I can see why people avoid it!

or do an ebay search for Norev 1/60
Montoya1,
Thanks for the suggestions. I do not cast those bodies currently but, will definitely look into it.
Thx,
