Going through my slot stuff and I found some resins I cast. Sorry for the pics, it is the best the camera will do it seems.

Wow, TomH, that Lakester is way cool. I'd by that for $12 (or so)! Your other stuff is also sweet looking - the surface of the castings looks very smooth. Way to go! :thumbsup:

not right now Joez, when I get my track built I am going to make some old school asphalt pieces. Going to try my first inline, an Asphalt pinto rear clip, and I have a 65 Alfa I want to do real bad, should fit a magnatraction.

TomH,

That Lakester is one Primo scratch build up. WOW! I love it when people show their stuff here on Hobby Talk. All of these bodies look great.

Yeah Grunger and Demether, they all fit the jet chassis.

Hi back. Yeah rodders it is an xj13, thought it was a beautiful jag, it was a bear to cast, and it still isn't where I want it to be. Sorry it is H.O. scale and the only one I have.

Hey dawg, Can you give me some pointers of how to cast clear glass? I can't find any material to use or any information on casting it. Is there anything process wise that needs to be done differently than casting with resin?

Hi,
I don't recall exactly when I bought them but I have the 37 Ford in red, and I have painted the 49 Ford and raced it with the group. Both cars always get attention.

Thanks

Cool Buster, always great to hear stuff like that. I got a couple a three more bodies I want to do after I get my new track routed. I have more time now since I came in off the road.

Having a hard time deciding to sell the Blue Goose though, makes a heck of a good toy to play with. Thought about making a video of driving it kinda like Bill's and his Porsche Froggy.:)

Nice Freight Shaker Tom!!! I sure do miss being out there on the road. ( been off 4 years) The TM won't let me go out to play... She want's me around or I'd have a job by now. Did do a 7 year stint in your neck of the woods with Cannon Exp out of Springdale AR, until they closed the doors. :cry:

No roadrner, website is gone. These are some old pics of bodies that have been sold. Threw them up there for something to give the board to look at.
