Time to start on another project.



Carrera Birds are easy to convert if you have smart guys who know how to cast in resin :)



Working on a USAC stocker. Will see how it comes out.

Now you guys get busy too :banana-rock:

Hi'ya Harry
Love the conversion! I'm doin the same thing to some older Tyco & Life Like 'birds! :mrgreen:

Mine would work better if my Testors putty would have been any good...haha.

Stripped and "altered" to Springfield Specs :)

Getting there

Looking good Harry, if this is one of "those" cars. I will have your decals in the mail Tuesday. They look great this time, but they should, I've got more than a few hours in the artwork. Going to do a set of these cars myself.

I have been...just not quite ready to show it... ;)

Love where the 'Runner is headed!

Yes Mark, it's one of those :) Thanks for your hard work, I owe ya big time.

Ok Dave....spill it man!

Presently, I'm trying to noodle a set up that will have open-wheelers front ends turn into the skid as they take a corner. Nail polish the fronts to eliminate drag, but the cosmetic effect would be nice. Any ideas?

How did you get the nose off?

What's your source for Bumper and Grille ?
"Looking Good"

Take the nose off by grinding away the melt points. Use a small milling bit in your Dremel is the easiest way.

Nerf? Good grief! You live! I have no idea on that buddy...good luck!

I had these made by my buddy Mark. RMS Resins also made me a few.

Thanks, guys. I've got to figure a way to have the front wheels turn opposite the rails as the car fishtails out of the curve. I've made a couple of cardboard mock ups but can't seem to get the effect.

BTW, nice machine, Harry! :clap:
