A while back, i had some resin that was getting old so, instead of just letting it spoil, i started casting away. I just looked through my mold sets and started casting my favorite models. I had enough resin to cast about 8 bodies. A few months later, i had an itch to start a new project. However, the weather was really bad and i didn't feel like making the drive to the hobby shop to buy new materials (i was out of paint, decal sheets, everything). Well, i had some leftover Testors dark blue,white and black paint laying around. Not enough paint in any of the bottles to finish an entire car but, if i combine all 3 together........ Well, this is the color i came up with. I called it Medium-Cobolt Blue (as good a name as any i guess :) ). Checked my old decal sheets to see if any were still usable, added a little hand-painted design and VIOLA!!


You never know when those old leftover materials might come in handy.

Great build!

I'm a recycler too! The bulk of my of my collection is other peoples leftovers and stuff I couldnt just throw away.

Most of my favorite stuff comes from the depths of the scrap box! Ya just never know when that particular little nibblet might come in handy.

I love that blue. You got any left??? Would love to have a Pontiac GTO in that color. I could send you a body if you are so inclined to paint one. Maybe this is where you can buy my vote....JK......LOL.
