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.

joez870 04-07-2009, 10:54 PM Very nice pieces, Tom!
You still casting?
resinmonger 04-07-2009, 11:03 PM 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:
slotcarman12078 04-07-2009, 11:11 PM It certainly looks like you knowwhat you're doing in the casting dept!! Nice bods!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:
Very nice pieces, Tom!

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.
NTxSlotCars 04-08-2009, 12:36 AM Good looking castings! :thumbsup:
1scalevolvo 04-08-2009, 08:27 AM :thumbsup::thumbsup: !
Can you do a better pic on the blue '49 Ford & Henry J's ? I did versions of these myself.I did the Ford off a Diecast & the "J" s off a resincast I bought at a Show.

demether 04-08-2009, 08:37 AM great resin kits. For which type of chassis is it used ?
I see great classic sport gt cars , could you make other photos ?
thank you
grungerockjeepe 04-08-2009, 07:30 PM Real nice work here. I like that '37 Ford a lot. These look like theyre for T-jets tho.
bobhch 04-08-2009, 08:18 PM 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.
Bob...Thanks for Sharron...zilla
Thanks for all the Kudos. Nice place around here for sure!
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.
Tom ,nice work. I did a coyote kit car too back in 04 . Does your fit a tomy super G too ?
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?

Have you ever seen that Calgon commercial TomH?
Ancient Chinese Secret....Eeeeeeh? :rolleyes:
Bob...have not tried clear windows YET...zilla
Found some old pictures. These were all sold, but something to look at.

Bad Dawg Slots 04-10-2009, 03:01 PM Hi Tom, I have been doing this for 30 + years and I have learned by alot of trial and error.
win43 04-14-2009, 12:17 PM Cool Stuff!!!
slotcarbus 04-15-2009, 04:35 PM 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
Buster:
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.:)
bobhch 04-16-2009, 02:43 AM Tom,
Thanks for putting up those pics...great looking slot cars...oh yeah!
Bob...keep on truckin' (well not you...lol)...zilla
tomhocars 04-16-2009, 09:11 AM Nice work.I need an SR-2 Corvette Tom Stumpf
slotcarman12078 04-16-2009, 11:38 AM 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:

Thanks, the Goose is special. Yeah it gets in your blood for sure. I have been driving a city bus for the last year and a half....Whew, definitely need this board and the hobby.
roadrner 04-19-2009, 09:33 AM TomH,
Is your website still active? I can't seem to hit it with the URL you show on your business card. :confused: rr
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.
