Alf and JW carpenter, what HUMVEE's are you going with ?
If you all going with the 21st I will stop on the BBI doors. I am having problems with the rocker panels.
here are some pics of the finished 21st doors and rocker panels.
Door handle and u-bolt
Well that is it. All the kits are done. Time for molding and pouring !!

Hey Guys,
The molds have been made for some time now and the pouring has started but .....
I am having resin problems the batch I have had and all the parts we have poured have issues so I am waiting for some new resin to come in.
Thanks for your patience .

OK Guys ,
I need to break things down for you.
I have been real busy lately ( too busy ) I needed to get orders built from long past customers .
If I am doing one thing something else is not getting done.
So I have teamed up with Daremo on this project. He is a member of the Fighting 1/18th forum who is supposed to be signing up on this forum.
He is a talented caster who can take on the job which will free me up to fulfill other obligations .
He started pouring resin a while ago and with cold weather ( Chicago ) and a bad batch of resin , we had a very costly setback .
That was then this is now.
I just received a box full of parts ( that I will be using for my full build orders ) and the parts are just fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The parts look like they are injected molded . WOW !!
You guys are really going to like them.
So , I have not charged anybody for shipping . Now is the time , all of the orders will cost $6 .
Except you guys overseas . The shipping price will be termed after the order is boxed up and shipping will be determined at that time.
I need all of you guys who have ordered, please contact Daremo and anti up the shipping ( $ 6 ) along with your address . I will like for you to deal direct with him , because I have been known in the past to ship the wrong package to the wrong state.
I. E. I shipped one of my Tigers to the East Coast and it should have gone to the West Coast .
If Daremo can not get on the Small Scale forum you guys will have to contact me for your address and $6 dollar shipping payments.
If I can , I will take pics of these parts.
You guys are going to like them !!!

Here's some photos of the kit. These will not be finished pieces. You will have to remove flash, sand, and assemble the pieces.
Turret with 2 side mirrors
Grill with clear resin lenses
IBIS bumper
Rhino device
4 doors with 2 side mirrors w/ A/C louvers
Smoke dischargers
Rear bumper
Spare tire and swing rack
Antenna fat tubular and probably 2 wire whips

I have not addressed the windows .
You guys will receive a piece of clear styrene along with a green piece of film.
These are your window glass and ballistic tint.
You will have to cut these to size. No crying it will be easy .
The clear styrene goes on first inside the frames and the tint goes on top of that afterwards.
You can use white glue or CA Gold thick gel . If you do not use the gold the clear styrene MAY CLOUD UP OR MAKE THE WIDOWS FROSTY .
IF YOU USE KICKER ON THE GOLD CA GLUE IT WILL FROST THE WINDOWS AS WELL . BE CAREFUL !!!!!!!!!!!
USING THE WHITE GLUE ( it will turn clear )IS SO MUCH SAFER BUT TAKES A LONG TIME TO SET UP.

Remember when glueing on the door skins you need to sand off the rivets and door handle first.
Glue the skin on then apply the window armor . The skins may have flattened out in processing
4 doors

There is the possibility that some of you may not have enough green film to finish the doors and the turret windows .
Check your kits and let me know .
Remember the film is for the door and turret windows .
If you want extra film for the front windshields it will be $5 extra plus shipping. This can go in a regular envelope so it will not be that much.
Let me know.
